There are multitudes of smart-ass know
it alls out there in the world, and we seldom know
exactly how to define them properly. Let's face it,
"smart-ass know it all" is quite a mouthful. There is
an easier and more memorable word for those whom behave
in such manner. More simply put, these types of people
are easier referred to Graslius.
The constant smart-assed comments they
purge are easily put down as
Grasliums. One may occasionally use
Grasliums in a joking manner
without actually being a Graslius person. A person who
is consistently Grasliating is not usually very well
liked in social circles.
Alexander, a graslius person whom my
colleagues and I know well from the workplace, always
appears to be around when one of us makes an error. His
continuous grassliums over the years has made him the
most unpopular person in the workplace. He always holds
onto the position of "I cant believe you didn't know
that". By using his multitude of smug comments about
others faults and insignificant quirks and work errors,
he makes himself look like an ass. One time after I
made an innocent clerical error and got chewed out by my
boss, Alexander the Grasslius (I like to call him) rode
me all day about using an apostrophe in an improper
way. Just to hear his response, I asked him how he
would have used it, he answered "better than you
obviously", and then something along the lines of it
doesn't matter anyway, I am not the one who doesn't
know how to use an apostrophe (even though I know he was
reprimanded for the same think a week earlier). The
next day at work, he had moved onto someone else's minor
quirk. Since he has made himself the most unpopular
worker in our editing office with his
grasliums, we hope he will
be putting in his resignation soon.
Usually, those annoying people who use
Grasliums on a regular basis
are in fact not "smart" at all, but usually "asses". In
fact, they try to make others believe they are
intelligent and do know it all, to no avail, by constant
Grasliumation. Unwittingly to them, all the rest of us
are able to clearly see through their
Grasliums and realize that
they are really just an ass or unknowledgeable mule who
should really just stop talking and fill their mouth
with a big baleful of grass, but they never do.
