To be fair, I actually am unconvinced he'll understand shit because he has such an associative way of approaching new information, due to his mental condition, and as such I (condescendingly, yes) simply doubt that he will read the wikipedia page on Polari and "get" it - more likely, he will respond with something about how he likes the gypsies as much as he likes the niggers but the bible says america should speak english cause he bleeds America. I'm being (fairly or unfairly) ableist about his handicap, and therefore nasty and condescending, but not pretentious about my OWN experience understanding diverse and countercultural groups.

I'm just being a douche and calling him a crazy fuck.
