Bull. Your default setting is nasty, insulting and rude. Suddenly you expect people to believe it was because you were just 'gobsmacked'.No - you just don't get it. All of those were because I was so utterly gobsmacked at the thought that someone would not know that word.
From my POV that word was just as well known as "bread", or "water", or "air".
This is absolutely true:
If someone told you that they had to go and look up "water" because they didn't know what it meant, would your reaction not be "you must be having a laugh"?
I absolutely could not conceive that anybody would not know what "incontrovertible" meant.
So basically you are accusing me of belittling people by means of assuming they knew more than they did, not less.
Way to go.
Having a laugh you are.
