How to seem smarter than you are in a discussion situation.
1. Don't quote, especially don't quote Einstein, the most misquoted genius of all time. It makes you look pretentious rather than smart.
2. Don't say, "umm", or "uhh", if you say nothing in its place, they will look like intelligent, pregnant pauses.
3. If everyone is guessing a way that something will go, and it seems likely between only 2, guess a third. No one will remember you if you are right in guessing the more predictable way, but will if you pull a guess out of thin air.
4. Err on the side of quiet, rather than too talkative.
5. Don't chew gum, you look like a cow.
6. Be more intelligent than most, which is where most of us fall down.
I'll add more later, but this is boring. Hope everyone's rockin'
