What's wrong with it? I think it's cute.

Genius.
Anybody can be one, as long as they create knowledge and refrain from sharing it with other people.
Want to be a Genius in the 4th Century? Make the Scientific Method, don't share it with somebody.

Want to be a memory genius? Simple Algorithm really, you just need to work on it a little bit.
Lets say you need to remember your shopping list.
On it is White Milk, Spinach, Eggs and Apples.
Create a location in your mind, create an object and associate that object with the item.
Create your Kitchen with a waterfall of Milk, meaning milk.
Then go into your Living Room, where the floor is covered in Spinach.
Then go to your kitchen, and create a frying pan an egg on it.
Then go into your backyard, and create an apple tree.

This goes a little more complex, associating numbers with items. Fire for 5, for example.
People have memorized Pi to 2000 digits with this algorithm, and you never heard of it.
The person who uses this would be called a Genius.

In my Experience, Nobody is a Genius.
Nobody has talent.

Talent isn't born with, it is developed.
Genius isn't a genetic trait, your IQ test score should practically constantly change.

Do you know what I say when somebody says I am a Genius?
I say, "No, I am Average."

Yuck. I don't know, I just hate it. My son says penis when talking about his penis and honestly I'd rather not hear that word from anyone over 18 either. The words that don't give me the creeps are ones that many find offensive. Cock and dick.

Schlong ?

Shvartzer ?

Peenie ?

Po-po ?

So, if you want to be a genius, a good way to go about that is to develop a way of thinking previously unheard of to humanity that utterly revolutionizes human culture as a whole and influences the development of whole fields of study that could hardly have been imagined in ages past?

... Yes, I suspect that might be an effective way to demonstrate one's genius abilities.

Some words I hate in certain contexts.
David Cameron had a habit of saying "look" before everything he said for a while. Drove me mad.
And sometimes my wife is obviously upset about something, I enquire what the problem is only to be told "Nothing" but her tone and body language all tell me differently. I find this unhelpful.
And using fuck instead of leaving a space. Words like that should be used sparingly not all the fucking time. "I went down the fucking pub and had two fucking pints with me fucking mates" what has fucking added to that sentence? only length.
Other than that I think all words have their place. Even though offensive words can be jarring, jarring is sometimes called for.

The one word I loathe more then any other is: Islamophobia. I fucking hate that word and the Orwellian censorship that many who use it want to sneak into our culture using that vile meme.

Pecking order.
