Good For You

Whitney Cummings
Whitney Cummings: 我觉得我们现在用的词汇正在倒退演化。老式的侮辱比现在的新侮辱更有杀伤力。如果你叫我“无聊”,这才是最伤人的侮辱。当别人说我“令人疲惫”时,我认为这是一种建设性的批评。我愿意听取任何阴谋论,但我不相信地球是平的。如果地球是平的,我就能用它来吓唬我的孩子。“万事通”这个称呼最伤我的心,因为它暗示我不安全感,需要不停地说事实。我对别人的价值在于我能提供多少信息,能提供多少帮助,能有多大的生产力。我最害怕的事情是让人觉得无聊。

- Older insults are more hurtful than modern ones
- Being called a "know-it-all" is particularly painful for Whitney because it clashes with her belief that "nothing is true."
