yup, that's just as dumb too, that isn't banter, it's whining at a sport you don't understand. Basically, trying to banter, but failing

well played, wish I'd stopped well before I did lol. Basically he spoke 'fact' when it was actually 'Im too stupid to understand, but I'm convinced I am armed with knowledge'. People who actually have the knowledge are left incredulous as to the other person's lame attempts to speak on anything to do with the subject matter.

eg, a bunch of women trying to roast you about how 'boring' and 'pointless' whatever *your* favourite sport is, when because you understand the game, what they are saying makes no sense, and is the furthest thing from a roast you can get.

Like I say, I love banter/roasting/razing - both sides need to understand the subject for that to work though. To self-confess you know nothing about a subject (by you I mean whoever), then try and score humour points on that subject, baffles me. But then, I'm pretty serious about my humour
