Some girl just told me that I have "an old soul". What the heack does that mean?

I once told a friend of mine that the man I was seeing had an old soul. She was impressed and immediately revised her opinion of him (she didn’t realise that the translation of “he has an old soul” meant “I know you think he’s an immature prat and I’m a fool for hanging around with him, so I’ll say something to make you shut up”. For the record, I knew he was an immature prat, but I loved him anyway).

Take it from me, Muad’Dib, she wants to get into your pants.

The proper way to celebrate is to tell anybody who will listen that, despite his stage name, Abe is not Italian.

He’s Jewish.

Nuh uh… Maybe she watched Dawson’s Creek too. Joey used to be called an “old soul” :smiley:

If you laugh when somebody calls you an “old soul,” then you are a “merry old soul,” like old Nat King Cole.

What? Oh. OK, scratch the “Nat” part.

Whenever that line was used on me, there was a desire for serious snugglebunnies.

Your mileage may vary.
