So, Stone Mountain, how come it is that a southern person doesn't know the meaning of 'pitiful'?
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=pitiful
1. Inspiring or deserving pity.
2. Arousing contemptuous pity, as through ineptitude or inadequacy. See Synonyms at pathetic.
3. Archaic. Filled with pity or compassion.
I went by the first and most common definition. Neither of those two people inspires nor deserves pity from me. For that matter, the second definition doesn't apply either as they do not arouse contemptuous pity, as through ineptitude or inadequacy from me either. What do YOU think pitiful means?

Well... I think pitiful, in this instance, as in sorry. Real sorry and pitiful. As any Georgia boy/girl should know. Not a yankee type definition from Websters.
