    @seanthesheep Your command on English is very smarmy. :D

      @jinroh Yeah, I tried to make it sound less commanding but still succinct, and it only strikes me now that "please" would have done the trick. I tend to add it reflexively to anything, so I've kind of forgotten it's a word.

        @seanthesheep Sorry I meant you are very well spoken, making you very smarmy.

            @seanthesheep Yes, exactly. I find it intoxicating. It compounds on your charming nature making you more charming. XD

              @jinroh Maybe this is a culture clash, but I fail to see how smarminess is a good quality.

                  @jinroh Oh, OK, so I'm a hound dog. This is a spectacular thing.

                      @jinroh Well I can't exactly refuse it. It's your opinion of me, I'm just saying that I'm not a fan of your choice of words. "Smooth" works quite well, or "Classy" if you want to err in that direction, but smarmy? Smarmy comes off as a little hurtful.

                              @jinroh Rule number on- OK, it's not rule number one of talking to me, but in the top twenty or so, there exists a rule that goes thusly: Compliments do not work.

      @jinroh As a general rule though, I do tend to garble my language with superfluous clutter and bluster, it's not actually very different from how I speak normally.
