What is the exact meaning of the “oh so <adjective>” idiom? I'd read the "oh-so-clever" sentence as "Paul Ryan thought his jab was very clever, but it was actually rather lame". |

Should “round” only be used to describe 2-d objects? So, if you don't believe the earth is an oblate spheroid but still imagine it as a plate with water falling off the edges, you could still say the world is round...? I think my head's imploding. >_< |

“She left me for another woman” or “She left me for a woman”? @Robusto Which, as far as I understand it, is exactly what the sentence attempts to express. +1 for @Andrew. |

How long has the f-word been in use as an abusive term? I'm intrigued... Was a flying fuck a common thing back in the days, or was that another figure of speech? :) |
