Twitter Users Share 30 Everyday Signs That Show A Person Is Very Smart But Others May Confuse Them With Stupidity

Human lifespan not that long...**sigh**

And religious nuts.

Funny how this comment section has become a "i am right,they are wrong" circle jerk.Isn't that what the poster meant by that?

Don;t hold your breath

Yes level is called dying.

Not everyone who isn't getting it is an antibacterial. I wanted to get it but because of the type of allergic reaction I have all 3 doctors I see say I am not a candidate to take it.

Don't give them false hope

This level is called dying.

Don't hold your breath while you're waiting for that to happen!

lol

You win

good luck with that

Actually, waiting for the sheeple to reach that level.

Don’t hold your breath for that miracle to happen.

You'll be waiting a while.

It isn't technically a vaccine

It might be good for ego and crappy for the others counting on the information. At work, I have two options. I can say, "That's a very good question, I should look that up. Let me check and I'll get back to you." The other option is to find someone who knows the answer.

Not if you get it wrong and are found out. Then you just look stupid.

Looking at you Donald Trump.

This summer, while visiting a zoo, a mother was very unhappy to be there (the keepers should have make animals do things because none should take a nap while she was there). Her kid asked "what is this animal" she answered "a hyena that is sooo bored she's napping too". It was a cheetah. She might have save her ego from her daughter (that is going to look like an idiot if she repeats that), but my 5yo was clearly not impressed by this woman.

Boosting you ego one minute will lead to crashing it next. It's the nature of that beast.

Not until you’re busted making up the answer

It might boost your ego but it’s not very smart

Not science's fault you don't know words.

Science needs specific words because science needs to be specific, it's language needs to be understood by scientists the world over.

Well, it completely depends on audience. If their audience is mainly other scientists, using technical terms the majority of them will understand is fine. If they're writing something for the general public then yes, they absolutely should make it plainer.

Science doesn't need to be hard to understand. Precise technical language is needed when scientists and medical people discuss something, but when talking to a lay person, they need to switch to more understandable terms for someone without their background. My late husband, an RN with decades of experience, was a superb teacher of nursing students because he could make tough concepts easy to understand, while teaching them the correct terms. Isaac Asimov (aka The Good Doctor) was one of the best at making complex science understandable, interesting and clear, so if you can get your hands on some of his science (not SF) books or articles, you'll likely learn something and enjoy the process.

Good engineers and scientists do it always with plain people. It's their job.

One other thing. Science gets blamed for communication all the time, but there are two sides to communication and, if the listener has decided they already know, no speaking skills are going to overcome that.

And lawyers …

Wikipedia, which has a bad rap with some, is a great place to learn about science. They have sources for more depth. Scientists tend to keep them up to date. And I've never read anything better at putting things in a way accessible to laymen.

My whole life has been explaining science in normal everyday language. And the reward is that people think I'm an idiot. Yippee.

Academia in general

or finance

I think it was Einstein?

One of the issues I have with my colleagues using da big words: we work in a French-English environment and some words sound quite similar in both languages, but have different meanings. Convoluted sentences at work also drive me bonkers. A recently hired colleague uses plain language when writing out instructions. Reading, proof-reading and editing her writing is a delight.

Other signs of not being a douchebag: -Following traffic laws and etiquette. -Wearing sunglasses when appropriate only. -Not buying Smirnoff Ice for girls half your age.

Yep. It takes courage to swallow your ego. But say, oh, sorry, my bad, and you won't be seen as childish.

tell my dad to do this sometime and he'll smack you and say "im always right asshole"

U gotta admit. I u don't want to admit then don't do stuff like these

Bwahahahahaha! YOUR comment should be #1.

Self Confidence

The name Sioban - never understood how you get ‘She-Vaun’ from that

Very common issue among those who read a lot :-) For anyone unsure: "epp-IT--oh-me" & "hi-PER-bo-lee". The other common one is that French word for smoothly moving from one thing to another: segue "seg-way"

I have problem with pronouncing stuff. My seat, sit, sheet and s**t sounds same and they all sound as if I am saying s**t. I try to not use those words in daily use. For example instead of saying "Please have a seat" I'll say "Please make your self comfortable."

I knew “epitome” from a young age because my mum was fond of saying that something bad we did was “the epitome of [descriptor]”.

Me too!
