Oh, and 'Red Pill'. I think it's something to do with the Matrix, but again, whatever

I accidentally put 'yo' on the end of a sentence the other day. I'd been watching Breaking Bad.

A friend and I were having a heated debate about the true meaning of the expression 'the exception that proves the rule' a while ago.

Her understanding of it was completely different from mine. stare


And wrong. smug

Chance would be a fine thing.

This makes no sense to me. I've tried. But it doesn't add up. And I know it can't be because I'm late to the party on this whole English language thing, surely this makes sense to no one else as well.

It means like 'No, I haven't done that nice thing you mentioned, even getting the chance to do it would be a fine thing.'

I've heard Americans refer to houses as "cookie cutter homes" (said in a very American accent), to describe houses that all look the same.

ie. a house that ISN'T a cookie cutter home is to be lauded.

That said, the term probably has several other meanings, some that are dodgy that I'm not aware of.

'Cookie cutter' means all the same, just like cookies which have all been cut out from the dough with the same cutter (those serrated metal rings that your mum uses to cut mince pie tops out of pastry with).

Now it makes perfect sense. Thank you! I still find the phrase annoying but at least I can understand now.

If you all started flaming me and calling me a saddo stampophile, and I complained of this treatment, and you all said 'It's only a bit of fun, and stamp-lovers deserve to be mocked, and we never did it anyway' you would all be gaslighting me.
