I hope you're comfortable in your wondering, Hyoi, because you'll never know about those who use it regularly..........BigV
I've become comfortable with being uncomfortable, BigV. The post was intended to embellish the very points you're attempting to make PRIOR to your having made them. There IS no objectivity in the use or interpretation of such terms as smarmy, and the use thereof can lead to destructive argument as opposed to healthy debate.
xo used it to describe Dale Carnegie grads, lumberjim used it to characterize a comment made by DanaC, and now Cloud has wondered if her post reads like it, so I wanted to, and did, solidify both the meaning of the term and the smarminess of using it at all.
This is two.....and counting.
