The day after Thanksgiving in 2010, Black Friday, November 26th in Germany and other ungrateful and Godless parts of the world.
I was invited to my buddy Khan's house for drinks and games. There were several other friends there too. It really wasn't a special occasion of any kind; Khan enjoys hosting "game and drinking night" on a fairly regular basis. And everyone always has fun. Khan picks great games and everyone gets loaded, and, eventually, things get broken.
On that particular evening, there were eight of us. Allen, Art, Steve and Jane, Pino and his girlfriend Michele ("with one 'L'"), and Khan and his wife.
We were all drink Jameson and Ginger that night and laughing, and having a great time. Khan had chosen a trivia game which required the group two split into two teams of four. Upon turn, each team selected one of their own players to describe a word written on a card without using the word or any form of it. We must have played this for a couple of hours. During that time, I began to realize that Michele (with one "L") was an idiot. And the worst part about it was that she didn't think she as an idiot. To make matters worse, she was a smug cunt who thought of herself as some god damned intellectual.
I started hating her.
I started making fun of her, passive aggressive style.
She didn't seem to catch any of the insults.
So I stepped up my game.
The final straw was when, as part of the game, she was supposed to describe something but kept saying "I don't know what this is... it's something foreign..." and then the buzzer went off. Time ran out. We lost the game.
So I took the card to see what it was. The card read "Guinea Pig".
"It's Guinea Pig," I announced.
"I know what a Guinea Pig is," she said. "This doesn't say 'Guinea Pig.' It says 'Gwen-ay-a Pig'."
That's how it is spelled, I explained.
"No it's not."
So I passed the card around the table and everyone politely explained that G-U-I-N-E-A is, in fact, the correct spelling of the word. It didn't phase her. Instead, she smugly stated "You know, a guinea pig is not a part of the pig family."
The insults, continued and she wanted to leave.
Pino and Michele (with one "L") left. Shortly after, Pino sent me a text telling me what an asshole I was and that I was completely out of line. I didn't care. And I ignored the message. I figured she pressured him into sending it. Fuck her. And fuck him. He had done way worse during the MANY MANY years that we had been friends. Hell, he's the one who took a shit in the pillowcase of a girl who I had dated. You know, because it was hilarious.
He'll get over it.
So here we are, seven years later, and he's still dating her. And, I've only seen him twice since the. Both time were at funerals.
The best part is that the rest of the group, as well as many of our other friends refer to the day after Thanksgiving as Gwen-ay-a Pig Day.
Happy Gwenaya Pig everyone!

You were drunk and acted like an ass. And insulted stupid girl for being stupid. My hero! I would have done the same. Did it many times. Lost a friend because it. Fucker is unhappily married.

Re: How I Mercilessly Taunted a Stupid Girl, Lost a Life-Long Friend and Started an Annual Holiday
This story reminds me of a time I was at a poker game. Someone asked how to spell "moustache/mustache." I spelled it with an 'o' in there, which is correct, and was mocked for it: "LOL, 'MOOOSTACH'."
Then someone looked it up on their phone to confirm that it is, indeed, "mustache", but didn't look up "moustache" to see if that was also correct. Confirmation bias. I didn't have a smart phone at the time so I had to endure being mocked by these idiots for my correct spelling of the word.
Still annoys me to this day.

Don't worry. We're in no hurry.

A moustache (UK: /məˈstɑːʃ/; American English: mustache, /ˈmʌstæʃ/) is facial hair grown on the upper lip. Moustaches can be groomed by trimming and styling with a type of pomade called moustache wax.
Spelling:
Mustache and moustache are both correct spellings of the same word. Mustache is the most common spelling in the United States. Moustache is is used in other English-speaking countries. Mustachio is usually spelled without an “o” in the first syllable, although in the UK it is commonly written as a plural: mustachios.

Re: How I Mercilessly Taunted a Stupid Girl, Lost a Life-Long Friend and Started an Annual Holiday
In 6th grade there was a teacher reading vocabulary words out loud. She came to a word on the list and couldn't pronounce it and me being a spelling know-it-all, I looked at it and it was the word "Colonel". I told her it was "kernel" like Colonel freakin' Sanders and she didn't believe me that that's how it was pronounced. Dumb-ass. I hope she remembers that day of how she got schooled in school by an 11 year old.

In freshman English we had a stupid teacher. She misspelled a word. I corrected her. She told me I was wrong. A boy in class told her I was right. She told us we were both wrong. Ooh, wrong response. The big fat dictionary was right there on the stand, and the boy and I leapt up and found the word, and showed it to the teacher. She said the dictionary was wrong. And that is when I learned, at the ripe old age of fourteen, that sometimes, they let the mentally retarded teach.

I learned that very same lesson in 6th grade. Teacher was reading aloud and couldn't pronounce the word "Colonel" -like "Colonel Sanders" from KFC. I told her that it sounds like "kernel" and she didn't believe me. I wonder if she even remembers the day she got schooled by 11 year old me, 'cause I sure as hell remember it.Savage wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 4:25 amIn freshman English we had a stupid teacher.
