I had a joke backfire on me once.

I was working with a bunch of college kids.
I didn't realize how much our supervisor lacked in formal education.
I mentioned that a customer had called me the 'E' word.
Paused while they tried to think of what the terrible 'E' word might be,
then said, "That's right, he called me egnorant."

The laughter was just starting to come out when it was interrupted by our supervisor,
"Which one? Which customer was it?" looking out over the floor.

There was an awkward silence, then I mumbled something about I guess I missunderstood the customer.

I was glad those kids didn't embarrass the guy.
Don't know if they were really mature or just really needed their job.

 

This is the dumbest question I've ever heard.

 

No problem. Gotta love Urban Dictionary!

 

Now I do....thought I was crazy.

 

Please, don't be ignorant!

 

LMAO

 

I can tell you it's not a Southern Maryland thing.

 

I've heard it used when somebody is showing their ***. "Don't get all ignorant." (Belligerent)

 

I'm glad us Texans aren't ignorant. (I intentionally chose not to type ain't)

 

You don't count. A Washingtonian living in Texas cheering on the Deadskins.

 

Hey now, I was born in Tennessee. Cultured, man, cultured.

 

I stand corrected.
