I Wish I Had a Dollar for Every Time I've Heard

5. Why you look like that?/What's wrong with you? (Cuz apparently, "I look mean")

4. So you like, real religious and stuff? (Said by guys who called and were shook when they discovered that I answer my phone, "Praise the Lord.")

3. You can't have friends? (Said by lame guys who think they're being slick and have nothing better to say when I reject them on the grounds that I have a boyfriend.)

2. Dang, you short! (To which my reply should be... what? "Oh, thanks for telling me! Here it's been 23 years and I just had no idea why I couldn't reach that cereal on top of the fridge!"...)

1. Say your name again!....that's...different. Yea, that's real different.... How'd your mom put that together? (Sometimes they go so far as to ask, "So do you like your name?"...and i wish i could just stare at them until they feel as stupid as they sound.)

** This is an abridged list. I'm sure there are more phrases that I forgot**
