The Clog from OzThe Essential Rebuttal to:

“Pickup: Haven’t I seen you someplace before? Slam: Yeah, that’s why I don't go there anymore.”
Ahh pickup lines. So tacky, yet so…. lame. This quote makes a mockery of how suggestive these lines are supposed to be by slamming them in the face with a great rebuttal! Readers will remember my irritation towards pickup lines from previous posts. And since then, nothing has changed. I still can’t believe they are in existence and that men actually use them. Do women though? Are we so vein and self-absorbed that we actually believe a cheap line is going to allow us to ‘score’? Ha! I don’t think so!
A fellow blogger, Edward, entertained us with a great tacky pickup line (and the majority of them are tacky): “That dress looks great on you, but it would look even better on my bedroom floor.” I’m not sure that this line would really work though. What happens if you get an ultimate bimbo? (And, let’s face it, ultimate bimbos are what guys go for as they are usually ultimately hot). Anyway, if this bimbo is also a bit slow on the uptake (i.e. slower than the average man, another favourite amongst guys) then she may take your line as an assault towards her dress. As in, she may think her dress is so bad that it’d look even better just scrunched up and thrown onto the floor.
Not that anyone is that dumb (hmmm… Paris Hilton maybe?) but you never know who you may offend with a pickup line. In my opinion men, just stay out of the whole dirty-old-man-trying-to-score persona and impress the chicks with your wits. Or maybe, your “Doof Doof” car because I know that every time a car like that drives past me I turn and think “That driver must be so hot, and intelligent and sensitive, I think I’m getting turned on!”
