You Know That Saying ... (T/F?)

cathexis · 11-09-2017, 02:54 AM

Chill: A reference to how one is departing information that they wish another to consider. If the espouser of said information is being loud, crass, acting below one's stature, or vulgar, it is meant to make the one being loud and obnoxious realize and adjust the offensive behavior.

Sidebar: A common legal expression spoken from an attorney to a judge with the opposing legal called into witness what is said.

Vernacular use of sidebar is commonly to permit all sides of a case to be made aware of information relevant to the case as it pertains to the tenets of the case as being presented.

I sort of have my own meaning but I'd be interested in others takes on what the meaning could/may be as well!

homoe??? Your mom's expression? Was she an Seinfeld fan too??? I ask, because it sounds like something straight out of any episode on that show! Like, maybe Kramer, Seinfeld or George might have said something like that!
