I have hard time understanding this matter:
I got to a little argument, in which we're arguing about is matter x an insult.
I pretty much stated: 'Person A is smarter than person B, granted he's better test results on all subjects.'
And by smarter I obviously imply 'better educated'. However, the person B takes this as a serious insult, for some reason. Why so? Even though I clarified him afterwards that by 'smarter' I mean 'better educated', would this still be an insult? What the hell?

Person B lacks the education to realise what you meant?

People take insults differently, whether or not they're intentionally there to hurt or suggest a different meaning - since human interpretation of certain topics vary with exposure.

Someone could say "all a girl does is sit around while the men do everything".
How do you interpret this? On one hand, women do housework around their house and are employed. However, historically, men have been praised/acknowleged as the hard workers.

I'd type a better argument, but I have a headache and need a nap. But it essentially comes down to individual interpretation and acceptance of word definition.
