Another logic puzzle
'Amusement' is the name of a type of behaviour and is not the sole preserve of any social group.
'Smug pedantic smartarsed little cockwasp' is a mildly derogatory term for a member of a particular social group; the sort of person who would overanalyse an enquiry as to what they'd like for dinner.
'Amusement' and 'pedantry' are used interchangably on this board, generally by the same people.
'Amusement' and 'pedantry' have an identical set of connotations to some on this board, including smugness, self righteous behaviour, lack of sense, and the implied attitude towards them from the person who write "Logic Puzzle" [example: the "Logic Puzzle" post is only funny because the guy's mimicking some sort of mutant offspring of the Modern Parents and Mr Logic].
Therefore 'amusement' is a way more acceptable response to this board because...?
(The answer is, of course, it's way more acceptable if you DON'T HAVE A PATHOLOGICAL NEED TO DEMONSTRATE YOUR LEARNED-BY-ROTE-FROM-SOCIALIST-WORKER FUCKING RIGHT-ONISMS. Prick.)
[edit] My word, going throughout January without any alcohol or caffeine intake has rather affected my mood...
