[abc123xtc]

Following the trend of "Shit (Insert Group Here) Say," what is some shit that sociologists say?

[quantitative]

"That's not politically correct..."

[abc123xtc]

"That's not funny."

Correlation does not prove causation.

The results are not significant, but failure is always an option.

I hope that this research proves that more research is needed.

(Voice inside: "Can I have money to keep researching this?")

"According to research....."

"Research shows....."

"Well, that's not what research says...."

Research is a very popular person in sociology, it's ears must be burning all day, every day.

This what I personally say, but then again I'm a sociologist,

"Down with quantitative methods!"

[sociolog86]

I think sociologists mostly just talk about beer, sports, and sex....or maybe that's just my cohort.

WE DO SAY THIS!! I put this on a test for my intro class. My engineering student missed the question.

"It's pronounced Vay-Ber."

What about Boudieu? Some pronounce it like Bordeaux (the French region), and someone pronounce it like "Bore-dew"--I do the latter.

"More research needs to be conducted on...."
