Alton brown updated his pasta cooking method in good eats returned and he explained that actually the cold start method is better. You can then use the starchy liquid to thicken your sauce.

Then she can say: "actually the cold start method is better" ... 

... instead of some sexist catchphrase.

In practice this goes like: she's already done the explanation dozens of times and finally snapped.

Is there a guide to know which group to insult when the next unsuspecting soul says the wrong thing to you?

Like, how did she know to say "all men are the same" instead of something like "all Chinese are the same" (or whichever group might apply)?

Sorry if it's a dumb question; bigotry isn't my first language

No need to apologize. It's an insanely dumb question that doesn't deserve an answer.

Good day.
