Well, you seem to already be aware of your shortcomings.
That's like picking on a short kid for being short.
He can't help that he's height challenged.
Just like you can't seem to help that you're a pretentious asshole.
No reason to make fun of people for who they are, just what they do. :D

No, pretentious is the right word.
I'm not basing it on just this post, but of everything I've ever seen you post.
You often attempt to impress others by making it seem as if you know more than you actually do.
Therefore pretentious was the exact word I was looking for. :)

You misunderstand, i was going to say something clever

this is what wit is though, taking small truths and making them profound

I would say that you actually have to know very little

which is why it is such a unique gift

You keep trying to sound intelligent by using big words, but you've got a shaky grasp on how they fit into sentences and everything you say is badly phrased, when you're not misusing the word entirely.

You think that you are being incredibly witty, so much so that you took a screenshot of your own post, but you really, really aren't. (Whatever you're trying to say in that ss, it doesn't make any sense. At all)

Pretentious is exactly what you should be called. Or possibly brain-damaged. It's too soon to tell.

I'm sure he'll be back with a scathing collection of misused words.
He seemed much more into knocking you down a peg than I am.
I'm just here for the tee shirts.

Though I have to say, when you try to personify things, and sound all artsy and dramatic in your speech, you kinda come off as a bit of a douche.

Tripfags like you who go out of their way to call attention to themselves detract from the level of conversation on this board and indeed flout the very spirit in which 4chan was created by needlessly turning conversations toward themselves in a place where identity should be irrelevant.

Taking screenshots of your own posts and putting them in unrelated threads is an egregious and frankly laughable failure as a poster and as a self-respecting human being.
