h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My birthday party was a flop.
You were left standing at the altar.
They are going to a Bar Mitzvah.

I've being seeing someone regularly.
You seem to be stuck with one guy lately.
She might as well be married.

I get their attention
You flirt
She's a s**g

Mel

i was totally discreet, i'm sure o one could hear me...
heard the bad news...
you'll never guess what happened today, this guy at the restaurant had a screaming fight with his wife over the cell, yelling about "medication" and doctors, at the end he yelled something about a divorce and stormed out of there, everyone was staring at him

I work Hard
You're studious
He's a nerd

Mel

I take pride in my handwriting.

You shouldn't write in such a hurry.

He is a doctor.

I get up, wash, dress and leave the house in fifteen minutes.

My wife spends ages in the bathroom.

Have you met my teenage daughter?

I am occasionally abrasive.

You often annoy people.

Oh, look. There's Vanessa Feltz.

Like it!

I speak 7 languages fluently.

I don't know about the other 6, but you seem to be having trouble with English, in any case.

He can barely get by in any foreign language, but speaks seven quite badly.

Hmmm, lets see;

I don't make friends easily
You are shy
He has never said anything interesting

OR

I am very popular
You put yourself in the centre of everything
He has his fingers in everything, whither we want it or not.

Is this the idea?

I like to experiment with new ideas.
You have an intellectual sense of adventure.
He'll try 'anything', and not just once.

glad to see this thread continues to stimulate some thought,
~jwf~

I am tactful
You should speak up a bit more often
He never has an original thought.

I call a spade a spade
You're rather blunt
He's like a bull in a china shop.

I'm just interested.
You here too?
He's stalking me!

I ate my share.
We are paying our part.
He went to the loo
and never came back...

I *like* TJ Hooker.
You're Weird.
He's got a gun!

I'd like to think of this of this entire thread as a living testimony to the necessity of a gender-neutral third-person pronoun. The amount of gender-EXclusiveness is quite breath-taking.

I can't be bothered with such trivia
You are using discriminatory language
Sie is a sexist pig.

Feel free to think of this thread as a living testimony to whatever turns your crank Xanthia, but now that you've raised the ugly head of the 3rd person gender problem, you must allow me this moment to rant about the lack of gender specificity in the first and second persons.

I know what I am.
You could be either.
They are a mixed bunch.

"they" is generally an acceptable alternative to he/she, even if it's grammatically iffy. "someone called, i'm not sure who it was; they didn't leave a message."
