The latest way of politely insulting someone in front of boss/coworkers/friends more in-the-know by non-web-savvy out-of-the-loop dipshits.

Is this an alpha male tactic or what?

The correct phrasing should have been:

"The latest way of politely insulting someone more in-the-know by non-web-savvy out-of-the-loop dipshits in front of boss/coworkers/friends.

Sorry about that, chiefs.

I was actually just going to ask you to clean that up because parsing it made my head throb a little. Thank you!

I once found some piece of arcane information, and the host of the sports show I produce stated on the air "My producer can surf the internet better than anyone else one-handed!"

He meant it as a compliment, but...

haha, one-handed. I wonder how many viewers thought he meant you were strokin' it.

Yes, that would be the joke.

"did you find another funny jpeg, guy?"

Yes, that would be the joke.

Obviously that would be the joke, but I wonder how many viewers actually caught it and thought it. Also, was it even intended and did the guy who said it catch himself after he spoke? These are the questions I want answered.

recently i was introduced to some muckety mucks of the bordeaux old-timer set (long story), and one of them apparently (i couldn't catch this, since it was too rapidly spoken) said that i looked like "someone who spends a lot of time in front of them computer" -- i LOOK like that? jeez
