You know I never thought about that. I certainly wouldn’t want to hurt their little rat feelings. However there is no injury because “I couldn’t give a fat rat’s ass” means they get to keep their chubby little derrieres.

Well, maybe you HAVE a rat's ass but you just can't give it.

You could say "that is all"
because that's not overused.

I used to get a lot of 'idears' from people in TX.

No.

I grew up with it being 'for all intents and purposes'. I've never heard it as 'intensive purposes'. That makes no sense. The former makes sense, but it's not a frequently used phrase anymore, is it?

For the record, you are very, very strange. But it's a likeable strange, not a serial killer kind of strange.

Well, yes, the correct terminology is indeed for all intents and purposes. However, I have heard some people over the years say for all intensive purposes. I would like that phrase to die.

And if for all intents and purposes is not frequently used anymore, I guess I'm behind the times because i do use it a bit.

Also from the same post I understand the correct terminology is not suppository of information but is instead repository of information. I only know one person who says that and he also says self defecating humor. So maybe it's an anal kind of fixation. But I still wish he would stop.

Oh. Two verys. Very, very. That's can't be good.

Likable though. That's good.

Thanks. I guess.
