    You said “all nerds are sexy” you’re contradicting yourself here. Maybe you meant “nerdiness is sexy” but that is not what you said.

      Or perhaps you’re reading a parlance a little too literally. You’re right, that is what I meant in a literal sense, and it seems like we got there!

      If someone says “redheads are hot,” do you also chime in with “come on now, surely you don’t think a redhead who doesn’t bathe and also is a racist Nazi is hot”?

        if someone said “redheads are hot” i’d say “alright”

        if someone said “all redheads are hot” i’d say “that’s bullshit and you know it”

        one is a generalization the other is an absolute statement
