Smells like Primate

I am creating a phrase.

You know when you do something really silly, simplistic and overall (let's just say it even though our mommies told us not to) really, really dumb? And, in this moment of ridiculous behavior, your friends need to call you out on it? I suggest using the phrase: Smells like primate! Referring, of course, to the the fact that the stupid behavior (the one you are thinking about right now) is a witness to a regressing evolutionary cycle that sometimes, and unfortunately repeatedly, still plagues mankind.

Why this phrase? Here are the top 5 reasons:

1. It is WAY more appropriate that cursing

2. It is rather funny and will get you (or your friend) to stop belly gazing

3. It is less harsh then calling someone an idiot - or similar phrase

4. It could really take off and we would be on the front edge of it

5. It really works

So practice it today, in whatever part of the world you are in. When the driver in front of you cuts you off to slam on his (or her . . . probably her) brakes, "Smells like Primate!" When you say something SO not true about yourself and get wild-eyed stares as responses from your friends, "Smells like Primate!" When you overbook, overcommit and feel silly explaining it to your boss, "Smells like Primate!"

Let's not be rude, though. Rude is like . . . pre-primate behavior.
