Similarly, kanji (Japanese) tattoos. Or kanji on shirts. Unless you're sure you know what it means.
My favorite tattoo story *ever*.

"Friends" who talk down to you and gossip behind your back.

Dallas Cowboys fans who are not from the DFW area. Ouch!
I grew up in New England and became a fan of the Cowboy's because they were always on TV (Staubach, Golden Richards, Robert Newhouse era). What was my other choice...the friggin' Patriots?
Go Big D!

You mean the last team to win back to back SBs?
To: G8 Diplomat
Ask as question of someone and it's like they never heard a word and begin telling you some story but never answering your question.
Did you not hear me? That is not what I asked you!

You mean the last team to win back to back SBs?I meant the Patriots teams of the 70's. Be honest, what would you rather watch, a rivalry game between Dallas and Washington with Staubach versus Theisman or a game between Steve Grogan and Bert Jones or even worse the Jets (for the life of me I can't even remember their quarterbacks during that decade.....
To: sinkspur
May I add 'grow your business' to that list?
Also, painful malapropisms that are never caught (by the speaker) and used over and over. 'Flying by the skin of my teeth,' for example, courtesy of my office.

"Friends" who talk down to you and gossip behind your back. You would say that.

Absolutely priceless. Falls under my general peeve of people who think something's cool without knowing anything about it ... so embarrassment resulting from that always amuses me.
