    Your Take on Average

    Wife and I got into a discussion about "average." I feel like calling someone average is saying subpart. What's your take?

    Edit your post and make sure the spelling is correct. You are average at best at spelling. LOL. Just messing with you.

        I am well above average in the hair loss department. I’m well below average in the hair keeping department.

          If we say someone is "average" in my career, you can adequately and effectively do your job. You can be trusted to do the job with little or minimal supervision. We call average people a denominator and I don't say that to be demeaning. Some people just want to do their job, earn a paycheck, and go home and that is okay. Some people want to be the top guy/#1, aka a numerator.

            I think, in most contexts, “average” would mean mediocre, ordinary, usual, unexceptional, etc. I suppose it’s the way I was raised, but, in my world, mediocrity is to be avoided at all costs. No exceptions, no excuses.

            I’m still working on it.

              I guess I don't understand the question. Average is the same as ordinary. Is that what you're asking? Are we trying to think of synonyms for the word average?

              Average is......pretty much every person I know. Which makes sense because they're.....your average people.

                Depends on a lot of things and can go quite deep.

                  To me, average means not exceptional. Not like median where half are above and half are below.

                    However, an average person in a gifted/talented collection of people can be quite different than an average person in a collection of average people . .

                      Are either of you two reading that dumb butt book about average where the author began with the story about the fighter cockpit? Depends on what particular you are comparing.

                        Average is not a negative term - for example - “ i like average size knockers”. Not saying anything wrong with below average or well above average - like them all just prefer average

                          That sums it up. Well said

                            It may vary from person to person. Personally I think store bought is the way to go.

                            Sometimes being unique,special,above average can be achieved. It just takes a little money.

                              My favorite “average” quote is “take the average dumbarse you know. Now realize that half the dumbarses are dumber than that.”
