... does anybody want a peanut?
Not unless it's cut
What about boiled?

Or salted peanuts in a bottle of Coke or Pepsi. That's a Southern thing, primarily. And good.

I've never heard of that!

I've never dropped salted peanuts in a bottle/can of cola, but they are mighty tasty when munched while drinking a sweet cola. For peanut eating purposes, I always preferred RC Cola over Coke or Pepsi, but RC isn't likely as easily available.

I find white chocolate annoying, but I don't spend much time thinking about it...
Far, far more annoying though are the white chocolate evangelists who cannot fathom my dislike for the substance, and will unusually pester me repeatedly to "just try this" kind they are offering. No. No, freaking no.

RC really is optimum for this if you can find it.

Come to Chattanooga! Walmart sells RC in 1 liter, 3 liter, 20 oz, and canned! And it's usually significantly cheaper than almost every other soda available.

I've never understood the people who are so gung-ho to get other people to like the stuff they like when it comes to food. It makes sense for other things, like "you should enjoy this hobby I like (so we can participate in them together)" or "you should read this author I enjoy (so we can talk about the stories together)" or so on and so forth. But not for food.
A better response IMO is "oh well more for me!" Which is exactly my response in this situation. Gimme all your white chocolate, Amby. Nom nom nom nom nom.

Explaining an assignment...only to have to re-explain it twelve times because "I wasn't listening, what did you say?"
I've actually said "Well then consider this a learning opportunity" and refused to repeat myself. Of course, I don't teach any more, and maybe that attitude has something to do with why...

This is me with mint. I don't know why, but I cannot stand the taste of mint. Toothpaste is my limit. But every year...

People that type would of or could of instead of would've or could've. I get that it sounds about right, but damn people, do you even read what you type?
While we're on the subject of contractions, putting apostrophes in the wrong place is also on my list, doubly so when they're not needed at all. Typing 80's instead of '80s (this is a contraction, the apostrophe replaces 19) or CD's instead of CDs (no apostrophe is needed when pluralizing acronyms like this) gets me every time. I swear I get Forest Whitaker eye when I see these common mistakes.

Describing a character (MMO or tabletop) as a "DPS" or a "DPR." Both of those are measurements of a rate, does anyone call a race car a "MPH"?

It is less "a" DPS and more just, "DPS."

"Damage per second"? Why on Earth would you need to calculate that?

It's necessary for comparing the Tiers of unladen African swallows vs. European swallows.

So’s you can compare the DPS of your DPS to the DPS of their DPS, and thusly learn which DPS beats which DPS in a DPS contest.

^To follow up on the above, for MMOs it actually does kinda matter for doing raids and taking down big bosses. In WoW, for example, you've only got so long to kill a boss before they hit their enrage timer (they basically Hulk out and kill everyone) and so if your damage-dealers (DPS) aren't putting out enough damage over a certain amount of time then the raid will fail.
But I do agree that using that term outside of that context, such as to describe a Pathfinder character or something, has always seemed really silly to me.

This is... not that far from the truth.
But also, because when you're looking at winning at MMO powerful bosses in dungeons, you need to have relatively high "DPS" in order to overcome their regeneration, or to destroy them quickly enough before they destroy your team. It's part of a much larger set of meta-strategies that people are half-required to develop in order to actually win against some of the bigger boss monsters.
You compare DPS, healing, and so on to see what, exactly, you and your group can survive and how fast you can take down a given boss or set of bosses, and how long you can survive the same. Hit a golden ratio and you can probably win.

Solid explanation.

In short, it's a measurement of how much damage a combat character can do in a certain amount of time. Which can then be compared to other characters' measurements of same, to see which of the two (or more) is more successful.

Ok, I'm not going to call out any specific posts but they're very common. They're all variants of questions where someone asks if it's ok to do X or Y in their campaigns. I want to grab them by the nape of the neck and shout, "It's your game! Of course, you can do it!"

No, they can't! Not without very specific rules.

But these are often questions that aren't covered by the rules, just questions like "Can I make my Tiefling's eyes blue instead of red?" and the like. There's nothing in the books about that! Aaaaagggh!
