(Ed. Note: This is the first time someone has ever submitted a quote that overheard me (I’m ‘Guy’))

Girl 1: Oooh my God, I was reading Overheard, and something I said was on it! It made me sound like SUCH a slut.

boy: So those are the two words I’m trying to get out of my vocabulary, gay and retarded.
girl: I’m trying to stop using those words too.
boy: I’m trying to stop using retarded more though.
girl: See now I’m trying to stop using gay. Because if someone’s retarded you know it, but if someone’s gay it’s harder to tell.
boy: You know that this is exactly the type of conversation that gets on that website, right?
