Three thoughts
Over the past couple of days, I've casually mulled over three different topics. I figured it'd be good to toss them to the wind and get some feedback:
1. What's the deal with the Drive-by Truckers? - They sound like terrible modern-day "southern rock." Something in the vein of "Sweet Home Alabama" ... something that leaves me wanting a shower after a listen.
2. Phrase explanation - Take a look at this make-believe conversation:
PERSON #1: I wish you'd stop comparing the size of my ass to Jermaine Dye's. WTFuck, man? What? Do you hate me?
PERSON #2: It's not that I hate you, it's that you eat a lot of mayonnaise.
PERSON #1: Oh. Okay, cool. No problem then.
When Person #2 says: "It's not that I hate you, it's....", does that mean that Person #2 admits to hating him (but that's not the reason he made the comment)? OR, is he saying, 'What are you talking about? Don't think I hate you. I don't.'?
3. You got it - I used to hate when people asked me to wish them luck. I never knew how to respond.
If you say, "Oh, good luck!" you've forced yourself into an awkward spot in the conversation, not to mention you run the risk of sounding half-interested. But if you don't say anything at all, you look like an ass.
Up until a couple of days ago I'd laugh nervously and say 'Yeah!' But a better response dawned on me two nights ago:
Just say: "You got it."
