No, you made up your own definition based off your perception of the individual, which is different from how it's used colloquially.

Then you missed the point. "Einstein" is used to refer to people that are smart, "Nostradamus" is used to refer to people who make accurate predictions. This is how these words are used. You're not being clever or insightful by redefining the latter to suit your needs.

How am I making it up?

Was Nostradamus accurate or not? Simple question. Were his predictions testable and proven to be true?

But as we use the consensus as to what Nostradamus means:

Because debates aren't determined by consensus agreement. If over half of the forum was convinced that 1 + 1 = 3, the majority would simply be wrong.

You're simply....wrong. But again, if you want to liken yourself to a guy who was notoriously wrong, but uneducated people regard as smart/prophetic....you do you. You're the one who made the comparison.

As his Wiki says:

Academic sources reject the notion that Nostradamus had any genuine supernatural prophetic abilities and maintain that the associations... are the result of (sometimes deliberate) misinterpretations or mistranslations

You are right, it DOES indeed fit you. I agree 100% with you.

Just Google "I'm Nostradamus," or a similar expression and look at how it's used. It doesn't mean "I'm a charlatan," no one uses it like that.

And here come the cheerleaders....

Stop.

Seriously, stop.

Or I'll start fantasizing about KMC members in cheerleading outfits.

Mmmmm, my sweet Paul...

It was just a good quote. Made me lol.

Don't worry Astner, I'm sure you'll get some quips in too. There there.

That entire tirade is so cringe-worthy I winced reading it. It's in response to picture of Nostradamus...that's what he's having a meltdown.

Just because he's dead-set on embarrassing himself doesn't mean that you have to follow him down the cliff. It's a terrible jab, and if you think it's clever, well, then you're not.

Just another poster trying to look smarter than he is.

There has to be a good analogy for that...

When you use words like tirade and meltdown incorrectly, it just looks like you don't know what those words mean.

You caught me. I'm an unclever dummy.

Edit. Correction, I meant to say "that's what he's having a meltdown about," or "that's why he's having a meltdown." It's a typo, it happens.

Aster has been trying hard to outperform the true legends of this forum lately.

No. They're used correctly.

What you're thinking of is a word, not an analogy. Which, ironically, makes you pretentious.

I was unaware I was being angry, or that they were outbursts, much less uncontrolled.

But as I said Astner, I fully agree with you.

DarkSaint gets angry only when one tries to make him a sub in a wild and hard bdsm session.

Nostradamus indeed.

lol no Astner, that was a joke. The analogy is Nostradamus.

This is why it's so hard to have a conversation with you, because you try to act smarter than you are.

All this talk about anal from this sweet Swedish boy pussy can only mean he's really horny.

I'm about to get off work, and like always, I have better things to do at home. So we'll have to wrap up this tomorrow.

Well, sure, that too.

But that was too obvious and we all know how carver drives DS mad.

We kinda figured it out since you couldn't stop talking about anal in every post, shamelessly flirting with DS & Smurph.
