Favorites

Do you want to know what I hate? I hate it when people claim to have more than one favorite. You've heard this B.S.

"So which is your favorite?"

"I love them all. They're all my favorite."

Shut up. That's what I say. I didn't ask, "Which of these do you love?" I asked "Which is your favorite."

Look it up. Favorite (n):
a. One that enjoys special favor or regard.
b. One that is trusted, indulged, or preferred above all others

It's "one" in both definitions, and in the second one it's clarified as "preferred above all others." So next time I ask you "Which is your favorite?" Either tell me your favorite, or just say, "I don't know."

What's the problem with people saying, "I don't know?" Are they afraid it will make them look stupid or that they haven't thought things out well enough? Give me a break. I'll tell you what makes you look stupid. It's when you say that more than one thing is your favorite.

By the way, my favorite Spice Girl? Posh. Oh yeah.
