narrow minded

Intolerant of another's views. This is a mentality that is often associated with cliques and coteries. A narrow-minded person will even accuse someone of being "stupid" or ((name some other bad trait here, even "narrow-minded" itself!)) the other person who expresses a viewpoint or reason for believing otherwise than the narrow-minded one's views. Or, in some cases, a narrow-minded person might even go to the extreme of primate-like behavior, such as throwing food or insults at the other person, because the narrow-minded one doesn't have a cohesive argument to counteract what the other had said in the discussion or debate.

Interesting thing: people who accuse others of being narrow-minded are often quite narrow-minded themselves.

Aura hurled food, insults, and other sorts of shit at Anne because the two women didn't agree. (Aura did that because she can't stand anyone who wouldn't believe the same thing as she does, or refuses to flatter her.) Aura's very narrow minded.

Adjective

having restricted or rigid views, and being unreceptive to new ideas

intolerant, bigoted or prejudiced

When they say "Great minds" do they mean great as in intelligent or great as in significant? Is this quote about how smart someone is or simply about the their significance in life/the world? If you think it means neither of these things then let me know what you think the quote truly means.

Great Minds Discuss Ideas; Average Minds Discuss Events; Small Minds Discuss People

β€œMen and women range themselves into three classes or orders of intelligence; you can tell the lowest class by their habit of always talking about persons; the next by the fact that their habit is always to converse about things; the highest by their preference for the discussion of ideas.”

narrow it down

Somebody bombed the school, too many terrorist groups operate in this area, though. But we are trying to narrow it down so we can go after the perps.

narrow hallway

The long space inside the eye of a penis. Inserting items into this narrow hallway will result in cockrot.

<meelWORM> Oh no
<meelWORM> I think it got stuck
<meelWORM> I'll try to pull it out
<veovis> hahaha, don't do anything stupid now
<meelWORM> I think it broke inside.
-5 minutes later-
<meelWORM> I think I got cockrot.

Narrow Boat

a canal boat used in the wonderful waterways of England, and other European countries.
Often used as a floating residence, notably by the hippies in Amsterdam in their not-so-narrow variations. If you want a change of scenery, untie the line and motor away through the locks.

We went on holiday for three weeks through the Midlands canals in our narrow boat and hit every pub along the way. Ian only beached it twice and Catherine was quite accommodating to help relaunch.
My mate moors his narrow boat in France and keeps a bicycle on board for jaunts through the countryside. He has logged over 10,000 km in the last three years.

narrow minded

A label people stick on anyone who firmly believes anything at all.

In today's wishy-washy society, anyone who has the guts to stand up for what they believe in when (esp. what they believe in is unpopular) is labelled as narrow minded because everyone else is so open minded that, in many cases, their brains have fallen out.
