Stupid sayings

It’s stupid, but it works.

Let say you are a youtube partner and you get paid extra per comment and views you get for every video you upload.

You already get plenty of hate comments.

So you say “shout out to my haters” of course those haters are going to reply. That just mean more comments for your video. They just putting more money into your pocket.

Fuck that.

“ShOUT$ 0Ut$ 2 Mi hAtERz”
“lUVz My h8Rz LMAO!!!”
“oMG BITCH, SToP H8InG on me and my Bby DDy”

Bitches on Facebook I swear.

Well those people are just trying to get more attention. Let be honest the “haters” going to reply to that shit.

Plus no one types like that anymore at my age so that shit doesn’t really annoy me because I don’t normally see it.

Especially amusing when Fat Girls say it

Is that his way of saying he doesn’t know?

Sounds like a Christian concept.

LOL. Isn’t that better than “that’s the way cookie crumbles”?

“Practice makes perfect” paired with “Nobody’s perfect”. WTH?

And there is more than one way to skin a cat? Why skinning cats? Why not More than one way to get from point A to point B, or more than one way to have a nice day?

And the one that bothers me most is “You couldn’t win for losing” I have NOOO idea what that means.

Agree, as one of my friends found out after he spent over an hour filling out an eHarmony profile. :stuck_out_tongue:

A pithy explanation of the concept of karma.

But who would take this literally? Is it better to be an optimist or a pessimist who gives up without even trying?

Yeah, it’s like the parable of Job from the Bible.

Certainly, it’s one of many memorable Bushisms.

The latter quote’s the more realistic one. I guess the former sounds better than “a ton of practice can turn you into Daigo,” to paraphrase an old post explaining option selects. :wink:

Apparently the original reference actually refers to catfish:
BBC - h2g2 - How to Skin a Cat
Hey, they even have an explanation for “curiosity killed the cat.” :slight_smile:

Me neither.

“It may be the case, it may not” (and its variants). I know it’s supposed to mean the possibilities are close to 50/50, as opposed to something like 99.99/0.01, but without proper context it sounds like an obvious, non-thoughtful observation of anything.

“Quit being a hater.” I never was terribly fond of “hater,” but fanboys use the term whenever you disagree with them. For instance, you go on ESPN boards and say Kobe is great but not the greatest of all time, and the thousands of 13-year old Kobe 'riders will tell you to “stop hating on,” stop being jealous, or whatever.

“Better half.” Not sure why I hate this expression so much, but I cringe whenever I hear it. I’m also not fatalistic enough to tolerate the expression “the one.”

“I apologize if I offended anyone.” Saying you apologize if someone is offended tacitly shifts the blame on the offended person for being sensitive instead of accepting the blame for being offensive.

djajsta:
Do you know what multi-quote is? It is right next to QUOTE. I mean damn.

“Cheaters never win and winners never cheat”- both statement couldn’t be farther from the truth.

“The only thing you have to fear is fear itself”

"What’s the matter? Cat got your tougue?- Of all the things that could possibly catch that slippery pink bitch…

“Get a life”- Exactly what defines a life besides living?

“If you can’t stand the heat then get off the sidewalk” - And onto the street, where it’s much cooler, right?

Yea , when my friend first used it, I asked him to explain it, and when ensued was a bunch of, it just means blah blah blah. ANd I’m like, that sounds like the wrong saying then. Then he just told me to accept its meaning. Smh

“Stupid is as stupid does.”

Point taken, but few would bother reading a post of that size.

I imagine it’s like mathematics. As you practice more you get better, and your skill approaches “perfect”, but you will never attain perfect skill due to diminishing returns, so you strive to be as close to “perfect” as possible.

“Like they always say…” This always gets me. Who the hell are “they”, and why should I listen to these people who I don’t even know?

“If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t trying.” Worst justification for cheating ever.
