The "fourth wall" is also used as slang for saying something you should not say
Really? Do you have a source for that, or an explanation of how that makes any sense?
I am assuming you missed my analogy as only pertaining to the actual meaning of the phrase
No, I understood the analogy you were trying to make, but you're still using the term "fourth wall" incorrectly.
I was using the analogy of the fourth wall to describe what I was doing...in particular "breaking the fourth wall."
Still wrong.
However, your replies (which are almost always attacking and negative) always try to highlight your intelligence.
What does that even mean? I sound smart in my posts so you think I'm insecure? If I sounded less intelligent, it would be a sign of my self-confidence?
spastic
Also not the word you're looking for.
1) You have some degrees from a mediocre school and you were the smartest person in your classes.
Two degrees from a school currently ranked as one of the top ten public universities in the country and is consistently in the top 50 worldwide.
You are not an attractive or socially engaging individual
I'm definitely not the most handsome physical specimen, but my wife (the only person I really care about in this regard) finds me quite attractive and I have an incredibly busy life that entirely depends on social interaction.
You have only reached the "hey I have a college degree" and not the "hey look at what I can do with my college degree" area because you are afraid.
Actually, I don't even use my degrees. Considering I made more than most of my professors by the time I graduated, I don't think it's fear that keeps me in this profession.
You are smart, but you know there are always people that are smarter. So, you attack first and ask questions later.
Yes, I am smart. Yes, there are some who are smarter (they are few and far between, according to the "objective" measures I've been given). I do not attack first, and I didn't even attack here--I corrected a mistake you made and were clinging to. I was not rude, aggressive, or derogatory. I'm sorry (I'm not really sorry) that you think having your ignorance corrected is an "attack."
You know I am right and you are once again afraid that others will know as well.
You are very much wrong and have offered no explanation to defend your interpretation of the term "fourth wall." Anyone who thinks you're right isn't someone with an opinion or perspective I value anyway.
Was that apt enough?
Not even close.
anonymity creates a sense of self-importance
I'm not anonymous here or anywhere I use this username.
there are others that are smarter and more educated
You should pay one of them to teach you something.
Let's also say that this person decided to attend nursing school in order to pursue a greater career in medmal.
First, if you're implying that you are a "lawyer doctor nurse," I don't believe you. Second, anyone using "fourth wall" in the way you did would be wrong, regardless fo their education or profession. Third, it's not slang whether used correctly or incorrectly. You really need to invest in a dictionary.
I understand your confusion--this higher order thinking can be very difficult for the mentally challenged--but this situation is entirely different.
