Writing for BBC News Magazine, Jon Kelly explains how wearing sunglasses indoors is the height of uncool. I cannot say I disagree in the slightest. People who wear sunglasses indoors look like pillocks.

However, according to Kelly:

If you want people in a room instantly to judge you a colossal, thundering ninny, there's a very simple series of steps you can take. … For now, unless you have a relevant eye complaint, it's a fairly sure-fire way to be marked down as a bit of a twerp.

Now, while I'm sure Auntie Beeb has rules against the use of strong language in its News Magazine, one of the few things less cool than wearing sunglasses indoors is the use of Blytonesque* pejoratives like ninny and twerp.

Jus' sayin' is all. (pipe)
