It's a scientific phrase. A scientific proof is a document compiling all the information on a given experimental procedure. The hypothesis, the test, the materials needed, the method, the kind of results and how the interpret the data. The proof would be presented to other scientists who would then try and break the experiment any way they can. If they find something that shows the experiment isn't consistent enough of many tests then it is rejected, if they can't it becomes an accepted theorem.Stickem said:
Later on with new information, technology and techniques old information is revisited and a new crop of scientists try to break the experiment again. If these new circumstances showed that the experiment is unsound it would be declared "The exception that proofs the rule" and it would be rejected and the whole idea rethought. In essence the rule is wrong so we need to remake it, not the rule is always right except for that one thing.
I hate that my grandma says 'warsh' in place of 'wash'. She wants to go to warshington D.C. or she needs to put the clothes in the warsh...
And I learned not to try and correct her...that was bad idea.

Yet Oxford and Encarta agree.Johnnyallstar said:
It's tautology at its finest; "irregardless" and "regardless" mean exactly the same thing. The former seems to be a combination of "irrespective" and "regardless" creating a whole new word that creates a double-negative.
"Same difference" that could be used correctly but it never is. They always use it to mean same thing, but same difference means that two things have the same difference for example "the two rocks are not orange but the third rock is" and dose not mean that it is the same thing.
"Um..."
Can't take a quarter of a second to think of what to say next? This conversation is over.

"That's just the way it is" - Not a good reason for anything
"It's like having your cake and eating it too" - Why the fuck wouldn't I eat a cake that I have?
"Do you want to _insert obnoxious task here_?" - No, I don't want to do that. If you really want me to do it, tell me to, and don't act like you're giving me a say in the matter.

When people say things that are SUPPOSED to mean they understand that you have a different oppinion/way of doing things/etc, but you can tell that they don't mean it.
An example of this is when my grandfather or dad say, "Well, you're entitled to your own opinion..." I can just hear the dissapointment in their voice, as if I had failed to learn what they're trying to teach me. I'm 19 years old now. I have a brain. I'm not one of those idiots who thinks they know the world, but I DO have a different oppinion, and others should respect that. I don't want to be told how to think, like some GODDAMNED ROBOT!!!

not really a saying, but when people use question marks on things that ARE NOT A QUESTION
it doesn't bug me so much when they're trying to get the point across that what they're saying is to be read in a questioning tone, but most of the time it just makes no fucking sense at all!

this has always bugged me too! the Invisible Pigeon Holding Committee known only as "they" should really consider removing this saying...Aby_Z said:

People who finish a sentence with "but". For example: "I didn't do anything, but!". The but is completely irrelevant and not needed. The sentence makes the same amount of sense with or without the but.
Slightly off-topic, but I love the phrase "yeah nah".
Edit: Put the picture in a spoiler as I didn't realize how big it was.

"Love at first sight" well then, I guess then people will randomly stare at other from across the street, run into the streets to get to one another, then get hit by a car.
