Be the change, PP. As for me, I'll be over here dancing like no one is watching.

OMG, you dance like a dork! That's right. I'm watching.

Yes, that's the level of intellect one encounters when that expression is used.

The Universe wanted it this way

"Life isn't fair."

Of course it is true, but people use it as a cop out.

"Dance like no one is watching" -- Why? Why must I dance like no one is watching? Wouldn't I dance better if others were, in fact, looking on?

"Be The Change You Want To See" -- WTF? How can I "be the change"? If I want a crosswalk in front of my daughter's school, should I lie down and be that crosswalk? And even if I accept this on a non-literal level, I just don't see how it helps.

"Well-behaved women rarely make history" I hate seeing this attributed to Marilyn Monroe when it's Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. And, actually, many well-behaved women make history, but anyway.

I agree.

The more I read this forum, the more I realize how dumb people really are in this city.

The OP knows what the phrases mean. The intent of her post was to be funny. "oh she didn't know what "dance" was referring to" Really? You think she couldn't figure out some trite phrase?

Unfortunately, it missed the mark by so far it was hard to even see where she'd been aiming. The problem's with the writer, not the readers.

I'll add "It was a joke!" to my list. It's downright crazymaking when someone says something mean, rude, goofy, aggressively unfunny, and when you respond to it they come back with "It was a joke!" Uh huh.

(1) God willing.
Even assuming that there is a god, I really hope s/he is not interested in whether your FedEx package arrives on time, whether your business conference goes off without a hitch, whether your taxes get done before the deadline, or any of the everyday details that you attribute to his/her will. I'm talking to you, Mom.

(2) "In this city." People are asshats everywhere. And people are nice everywhere. Chances are, if you ascribed some personality trait or daily annoyance-- brusqueness or traffic, for instance-- to DC, you just like to complain about where you are.

(3) Now someone can say "asshat."
