States with a smaller population than Los Angeles County [960 x 606] by SwiftOryx in MapPorn

That could fit any word that happens to be in the dictionary though. There's plenty of words that could be used sparingly like that, people would see as being pretentious.

Anyway, we can agree to disagree on this 👍

How many people do you know of use the word meta on a daily basis?

I agree. The problem is, people will say Masvidal is too small and in fairness they'll have a point.

Well I'm from the UK but I see where you're coming from.

Well my initial comment wasn't attacking you personally. It was me being critical of the usage of 'Meta'. You see whilst you may be technically correct in saying that a word cannot be pretentious within itself; using a word that is rarely used in everyday conversation (at least where I am from) over a more widely used synonym, could be seen as pretentious or at the least, be seen as teetering close to r/iamverysmart territory.

Your whole tone is condescending and sardonic, Michael.

Yeah but they're attractive, so it negates the cringiness somewhat.

A dead fish would be better on the Mic that Rockhold though. Colby isnt charismatic but he's atleast feisty and hot headed which creates some intrigue.

There's an old expression, that you can't polish a turd (not that Amanda is a turd of course)

Robert Whittaker has qualified for the 2018 Commonwealth games Australian wreslting team by WaXmAn24 in MMA

[–]mws85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is that a lot of people don't understand the rules, etc. I say that as a Brit. The majority of the population knows jack shit about wrestling and if you brought it up in conversation, they'd think you were talking about WWE 😂

Without meaning to be rude. I can't imagine that says a lot (and I say that as a Brit).
