Quick quiz, re: Diss Cussing
That's not a typo. It's not about discussing, it's about dissing and cussing.
Let's say you're on the phone and you forget where you are. First, you start talking a little loud. Then you start cursing. It usually begins with one. Then another, and another. Before long, you're cursing like a drunken sailor, after someone looked at him the wrong way, after his boss just told him off.
Someone finally says something to you, like "Maybe you should take that call outside?"
What do you do?
Do you:
A) Say, "Oh! I didn't realize... I'm sorry.", leave quickly, and finish your call outside.
or
B) Cut your call quickly, a bit embarrassed at your unprofessional and discourteous behavior.
or
C) Give the person a dirty yet questioning look, as if they were some alien, and say "What the hell is your problem? Who is you to say anything to me?", suck your teeth, and continue your call as if nothing ever happened.
If you answered A... you are probably someone who, while considerate enough to realize you may be bothering those around you, is not worried about what they really think of you.
If you answered B... you are probably someone who cares about what those around you think of you, such as co-workers and superiors; and you don't want to project an unprofessional aura.
If you answered C... you're probably too ghetto to even be reading this. And if you are, you probably STILL don't get it, and are dissing me, OUT LOUD, right this minute, even though this is the Internet. You probably even called over an even louder friend who is sucking his/her teeth and telling you "not to worry about it" because I'm some punk who would probably be too afraid to say it to your face. (sprinkle with cursing, for "authenticity")
