When I was young, my parents kept telling me I was "smart as a whip". At the time, I didn't understand what that meant--apparently I wasn't quite smart enough! ;) Anyway, the term is a simile which refers to a person's ability to answer a question quickly, sometimes even before the question is completed. I was able to do this when I was a child, but I'm afraid I've lost the touch in my old-... er, middle-age.
Quod erat demonstrandum.
About Me
- Xax
- I'm a person with many problems; health is the worst. I'm not afraid of death (been there, done that), but I could do without all the pain, and I'd like to see the first human extra-planetary colony. I'm also a gay atheist pacifist who votes independently and ignores popular opinion in favor of an educated one.
