Awesomness!

Smugpedia is pretty freakin awesome: "Smugopedia is a collection of slightly controversial opinions about a variety of subjects. We offer you the chance to buy a fleeting sense of self-satisfaction at the small cost of alienating your friends and loved ones."

The sad thing is is that I've actually uttered some (like two) of these things or I've heard others say it. Some are blatantly wrong but sound good.

Here's some golden examples:
Sushi
It's only worth bothering with sushi if you're going to go to the Tokyo Fish Market. Nothing else is really fresh enough to capture the perfect simplicity of toro or uni.
Central Park

Prospect Park, not Central Park, ought to be considered the gem of the New York parks. Frederick Law Olmstead, after all, designed both, but he considered Prospect Park to be his crowning achievement.
Ivy League
The Ivy League universities happen to be good schools, but academics has nothing to do with the Ivy League: the Ivy League was founded as a football league and still today remains merely an intercollegiate athletic league.

Thanks to ace.
