I still get a chuckle over an argument Mrs M. and I were having in which she said “Your pedanticness is really annoying!”. And obviously I had to say “Pedantry”, while knowing it was only going to fan the flames. Really you can’t pass up feed lines like that. 😃

Oh, my SO pulls the same stuff on me. It mostly gets me even more riled up, tho sometimes we dissolve into laughter. The thing is, though he’s bright too I tend to use a better and more varied vocabulary than him - except for when I’m hopping mad and we’re in a fight, then everything comes out jumbled. I can totally see myself saying pedanticness. 😃

> There was a guy who worked in our office who was an Great Big Pain in the Ass. He asked to get some time off for an operation, but wouldn’t tell us what. We found out it was for hemmoroids, and the proctologist was Dr. White. My Big Boss also knew a Dr. White with a different specialty.

> One day I’m in the BB’s office and the phone rings. He puts it on speaker and has the following conversation:
> 
> Phone: Hello is {Pain In The Ass} there.  
> BB: No, he’s not here, maybe I can help you.  
> Phone: Tell him to call Dr. White’s office.  
> BB: Is that Dr. White the veternarian?

Haha! terrible pun, but I liked it!!

Funny thread but more than five years old. That poster may not be around to answer.

Funny, funny stuff though!
