As I inched closer toward the green light at the intersection, I realized that there was no accident slowing down rush hour traffic, instead there was this complete OBLIVIOTTO with his car stereo blaring, jerkin' away on his smart phone, all the while giving out the middle finger to any passing motorists who honked or gave him the stink face. It was then that I opened my trunk got out my tire iron walked over to the OBLIVIOTTOS car and smashed off their side view mirrors. ahhh! poetic discipline :) Obliviots seldom use their mirrors anyway

Get the obliviotto mug.A statement that sounds obvious but really isn't, leading a person who hears it to think that they knew it all along and therefore deem it unimportant. Obviousms sound obvious but carry a deeper or more complex meaning that often is overlooked.
Consider the statement, "you don't have to act on your feelings." This seems obvious to most people and in spite of "knowing" it to be true, very few people actually understand this. Most people find it very challenging - sometimes impossible - to separate their actions from their feelings.
