NFT: Popular things you know absolutely nothing about

santacruzom : 2/5/2016 11:00 pm
For me: MMA. If someone were to give me a list of 20 names and asked me which 5 among them were actual MMA fighters, I'd just be completely guessing.

Also, Twitter.

I tried to get interested, but it seemed like too much work. And I don't like
the idea that it would force me to root for or against players on teams I would normally not root for or against. So I just keep out of it.

I honestly couldn't name 10 players after Lebron, Curry and Wade. Just stopped following after the late 90s. Same goes for pop music/rap after early 90s and any video games made after the early 90s.

I know just about squat about gambling. Someone approached me at work with some Super Bowl bets they had going on - beyond the basic boxes, I was completely lost.

Not any better at cards, either, although I can get by in a game of blackjack.

That's a good mention. I know nothing of poker vernacular, though I do think a lot of it makes no sense -- some of the slang actually has more syllables than the word it replaces. "Knock the table" instead of stand? It's shorter to say stand.

Of course you care

The honey badger (Mellivora capensis), also known as the ratel (/ˈreɪtəl/ or /ˈrɑːtəl/),[3] is the only species in the mustelid subfamily Mellivorinae and its only genus Mellivora. It is native to Africa, Southwest Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Despite its name, the honey badger does not closely resemble other badger species; instead, it bears more anatomical similarities to weasels. It is classed as Least Concern by the IUCN owing to its extensive range and general environmental adaptations. It is primarily a carnivorous species and has few natural predators because of its thick skin and ferocious defensive abilities.

You dont say "knock the table"

You perform the act of knocking on the table to indicate that you are standing

Poker players don't say stand or knock the table. They say check or physically knock on the table to indicate they are checking.
Politics  
djm : 2/9/2016 8:01 pm : link
And I'm kind of proud to say that. I know a little, maybe even enough to hold my own in a general conversation but I know very little about the political arena overall. I know there's some genuine importance and some good to great political Giants doing great things but overall I think it's all just a ruse or mirage.

That and the two main euro soccer leagues. Wtf man... They kind of feed off each other but also seem to run simultaneously. I think one league is called the euro league and the other is the champions league. Whatever.

But how about when recalling a hand... I've heard people say, "So I knocked the table..."

"You mean you checked?"

"Yeah."

"So why didn't you just say you checked?"

"Because I knocked the table!"

"To indicate checking."

"Right"

"But when telling this story, you could just say you checked."

"But that isn't how we speak!"

"Okay then."
