Today, I was telling my friends about a date I had recently that went badly, because the guy turned out to be a moron. I said the last straw was when I used the word "decipher" and was met with a blank stare. I was then met with more blank stares. FML

why is everyone keep saying she need smarter friends? that implies her friends are normal. she needs less dumb friends.

How does that imply her friends are normal? Saying she needs smartER friends is relative only to the original friends, not the norm.

Had to check the dictionary for that one, but then again I'm not a native speaker. I'd also like to know the context the word was used in!

Well at least you know what to get your friends for their birthday.

I was once talking to my sister about how stupid some of the other people in my english were for not knowing simple vocabulary, every example word I said I had to explain to her

I think THE GUY dodged a bullet... that was a bitch move OP. Who the hell runs out on a date because the person didn't know what one word meant?

She said "the LAST STRAW was when ..." It wasn't because he didn't know what ONE word meant. Clearly he was an idiot about a lot of things and then not knowing this one really simple word was the final straw on deciding he was a complete moron.

Maybe you should give them the definition or a dictionary

Sounds like they couldn't decipher what you meant.

I feel your pain I dated this really hot guy but he couldn't read 24 hour clock :$.
