[QUOTE="dantheman, post: 1241825, member: 32998"] Looking at this original post again, I guess there could be a special case where it could really look as if you are trying to undermine someone who is trying to impress their partner. Certainly you do see the odd doting couple where one with a little knowledge appears to be trying to impress the other (who has even less knowledge). Seen this kind of thing on occasion . . .in this case I guess you'd want to be a little wary . . (Especially if you're young and y'know cool and reasonably handsome looking (not of course trying to imply this would be me ;) )and you know it's going to result in possible doting looks from the impressionable female, and the male previously doing the impressing is shown up as being more ignorant than they would like . . you never know where it might end ) Not Rude, Not Showing Off, but perhaps Unwise . . .
