Who Had This Quote?

Zillah · 2010-12-06 07:29:25

I remember seeing the following quote, or something like it, and I think it was in one of your signatures at some point: "You think I'm arrogant? I believe the word you are looking for is 'correct'". Google search shows nothing. Help please.

Interesting. Only thing I can find with a search is a link to our very own Sam Vimes: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=68700582&postcount=37

Pretty sure also it's Jimmy Carr.

As an aside Zillah, I'm sure it won't be up to Beijing, but when are you going to stop dissing London's Olympics in your sig?

He tends to follow it up with something along the lines of "people think I talk posh, i think you will find it is called correct."

I think you're thinking of the line "I don't have an accent. This is just how words sounds when they're spoken properly"

Jimmy Carr definately says it in stand up shows, but I recall hearing it many years ago long before he said it. Whom exactly coined the phrase is a mystery to me.

Is it not the joke about a audience member coming up after a show and calling him patronizing?

Jimmy Carr telling a joke with a punchline. Wow. What a shame it's such an old joke.
