I can clarify an idea, but I won't explain it to somebody who has no basic understanding already. There's no way to accurately describe it, without leaving something out or sounding pretentious, or occupying about three days of your time.

Thats what I was ment to say!
doh!
This is why I dont tell them. I let someone else explane it and see what they say. Then sigh and walk away.
Like the time I was waiting in line at a store and some pikie girl looked up at me and says "are you a goth?" I looked down and said "no" (I'me not explaning it to a pikie) and the older pikie girl said "whats a goth?" the younger one whispers somthing. I roll my eyes and walk out the shop.
What would a pikie say if i said "are you a pikie?"? I probably would have been beat up.
Some things shouldent be asked and some things shouldent be answerd.
