- Go to Top Ten Least Effective Pick-Up Lines Ever
OMG I used to own a Yugo
When we had more than one person in that thing we had to ration the air.
I once saw one with security guard police lights on top. It was a security company, not the real cops.

Well, as the title says,
these lines
are pretty much guaranteed to
not be effective

I like no. 10.
That No. 10 really sounds bad, but I like it. I used a similar line before and did not work.

Had I ever heard of that line before, Aaron...
I would have likely included it.

worst line ever
Hey, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
I don't think there's such a thing as a good pick-up line, but that one just could be the nastiest.

Being a fan of "Star Trek" seems to have become...
the definitive telltale sign of "total dorkdom".
For the life of me, I can't figure out why "Trekkies" are so quick to openly profess their "allegiance" to the Starship Enterprize.

That counts as a pick up line?
And, here I always thought it was just a guy being "helpful".

I'll add the old standard "Do you need a light?" which my husband asked me the night we met. I didn't even have a cigarette.

A "snog" is a kiss, mouth to mouth, with tongue.
Haven't these guys ever thought of saying "hi"? Tried and tested. Works for me.

They are no longer being produced (though you still see them around every once in a while), yet
nevertheless have become sort of the "gold standard" for cheap automobiles everywhere.

It's a simple process, abhilasha:
1. I happen to read something (or see it on TV) that intrigues me.
2. I look up more info (using a variety of methods and culling from a plethora of sources).
3. I go do something else for a little while.
4. I return to the computer and write an "article" on the topic, without reviewing any of the materials I previously gathered. (So the wording will be all mine, not simply a transcription of what I just read.)
5. I go back and check all the facts, to make sure I wrote them down correctly.

something a little bit more (than just kissing). But, perhaps you're right.
