I only understand scrapple because it's similar to liver pudding. Being born and raised in the South, liver pudding was a staple of my diet. As were brains and eggs, fatback and hog jowl.

Hey bud!

How about:(to add to your list)
"you know"
asphixiation during masterbation (why would guys do that?)
Bush
Verizon Wireless
Paris Hilton
Britney Shears

I know! It's all about the penetration if you ask me!

I understand C++.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Scrapple is not worth understanding. I never heard of that foul trash until I moved up here. I toured a factory once, where they make it on the eastern shore...you're better off not knowing. Trust me.

woah! I don't understand this kind of "sounds" either. YIKES!

What is C++?

Ok, I followed the link to sounds and i'm...well, I've never even heard of this. What the hell??? I agree with you TJ...I don't understand this.

Did you suddenly comprehend:

The difference between red wines
Golf
Electricity
and Bodybuilders?

Enlightenment perhaps?

It's "vaginoplasty" in my book, mister.

Estuaries

my favorite: Why lions don't get sick from eating raw wildebeest meat

brilliant post.

HYSTERICAL list man. Cracked me up! Thanks for the laugh.

Also, they are cummberbunds:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cummerbund

well, they're also Dachshunds. They rarely dash.

What are 'cankles'? And what's a 'warren'?

Not understanding Battlestar Galactica is perhaps not understanding the hype.

I'd add to the list
Cops: The TV "show".

Maybe TJ actually meant "cumberbuns" and not "cummerbunds" and "cumberbuns" is, like "sounds," some other deeply cringeworthy BDSM practice I could have done without ever having heard of before I read this post.

Also, liver pudding? WTF is that? I'm from the South and I ain't never heard of no liver pudding. Sounds British.

Now fatback, *that* I can understand.

Liver pudding is also called liver mush, I think. My family always bought Neese's Liver Pudding. Maybe it's a North Carolina thing.

I'd have to agree with most of your list except for "sex without penetration." I mean, are we talking strictly anal penetration here? Or all forms of penetration? That makes a difference to me. Also, I'd like to add one: "How CD/DVD players work. i.e. how they turn light into high fidelity sounds and pictures."

Let me answer some of these:

C++ is a programming language.

Cankles (from Urban Dictionary):
the seamless blend of calf into ankle. accomplished by inflammation, obesity, athleticism or a combinaiton of the three. the affected leg takes on the shape of a summer sausage with a human foot at the end. there is no defintion of the calf because it is obscured most often by fat which spills down over the ankle, hiding it, and causing a cankle to form.

Warren
I'll refer that definition to Dagon and Aaron.

As someone raised with southern parents, I don't have a problem with liver. Liver pudding sounds like a less pretentious way to say Pâté. The brains and hog jowl, however, I was not exposed to, and I'm thankful for that.

Jeff: That scares me. Everything is traceable, apparently.

Sounds - well if the idea alone doesn't appeal, you most likely won't ever get them, so just ... let it go, hon.

Planes. Well. Bernouli and his principles make them stay up. God help us if his theories are ever proved wrong; planes will drop out of the skies like stones.

Nobody understands C++.
