Name the things that you do not know what they are or what they really mean, and yet have no intention of ever googling, choosing to keep the mystery alive.

i'll start:
square dancing.

I'm having real difficulty with this. The only reason i would not look something up is if it occurs to me when I am not near a computer.

There are odd things that seem to only occur when I can't look them up, but then vanish from memory by the time I'm home/downstairs.

But...I can't think what any o fthem are. If I could...I'd look them up.

I suppose, technical terms, and also maybe stuff to do with political structures in other countries.

The Kardasians, or whoever they are. Once I figured out they weren't the Star Trek aliens, I figured I didn't need to know any more.

This! yes. That'll do.

But you do know who they are, just don't give a rat's ass what they're up to.

glatt · 01-23-2012, 04:55 PM

I know sort of what they look like, but don't know much of anything beyond that. I think one of them got married. There are a few of them.

I'm with D, I always want to look things up. I guess my curiosity ends at other people's dumb religious things, I have no interest in my friend's deep Catholicism or Madge's style of Kabbalah etc

You can put a whole lot of folks under that same umbrella, glatt. Beiber, Gaga, American Idol, Survivor, etc. bleh.

Actually, I'll go with current Reality TV shows as a genre.

do not want.

to know.

I'm afraid it's an oxymoron.

... sort of like Chris Mathews on MSNBC:
Mathews asks his guests question, and then keeps on talking.
In more polite company, it would be a "?" and a "."
Or shorthand for: "Sit down and shut up while I answer your question"
