Oh, shit, it's the old "I'm rubber and you're glue" comeback. Whatever shall I do?

lol, and that irks you why? You dislike people who don't talk like you? You imagine that I'm worried about impressing -- or befuddling, as is more likely the case -- you?
It was a weak attempt at insult, and funny in its expression of effort while at the same time being so vacuous.

Because of the fact I've never seen that word used like that before in my life. I've never seen someone say "That's understandable.................I mean it's not understandable to me obviously...but someone understands it somewhere so it's understandable."
See, now we might be getting somewhere. There's a lot of value, I've found as I've grown old, of trying to see things from perspectives aside from one's own. Justification, like any other human emotion, is subjective ipso f -- er, by its very nature for being an emotion. I'm not sure why that should be so mysterious. People justify themselves all the time, and just as often, those justifications are rejected by others.
