So I haven't posted anything for several months. Sorry about that. This one won't be too long either but I've got something that I need to get off my chest. I don't understand why people say they "may or may not" be doing something. Do they realize that they are merely wasting our time and their breath by saying absolutely nothing? I mean I realize that they are saying that they are doing whatever it is that they are doing, but why the may or may not garbage. Why not just come out and say "I'm looking to buy a house" or "I just got a certain satisfaction out of stepping on a very crunchy leaf." But no, people have to say, "I may or may not be looking to buy a house" or "I may or may not have just gotten a certain satisfaction out of stepping on a very crunchy leaf." Are people ashamed of what's happening in their lives? I always find myself asking, well did that really happen or not? And so I've decided to start using this phrase opposite its current usage and tell people that I may or may not be doing things that are absolutely ridiculous.
I may or may not be eating whole cloves of garlic right now. I may or may not have just watched a small furry animal be eaten by an alligator. I may or may not sleep on a pile of live coals every second Thursday of the month. May or may not, you decide which because I'm not going to tell you.
I may or may not agree with you. I also may or may not think you are clever and hilarious. You decide.
ReplyDeleteI definately agree with you--no may or may not. However, I may or may not: fix beef stroganoff for Sunday dinner in two days, toss up a spinach and strawberry salad, whip up that most famous cookie salad, and bake those delicious and buttery hot rolls. Will I or won't I? I guess you'll just have to show up to find out for sure!
ReplyDeleteOhh, I'm sure hoping Mom's leaning toward the "may" end of "may or may not" on her comment!
ReplyDeleteI totally say "may or may not" all the time! Knowing that all the while, I'm really not saying anything.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I may or may not have creeped on facebook and found your blog..
hahaha. that was funny, except for the small furry animal part--i may or may not have stood up in my real estate class and starting dancing on the desk while sobbing hysterically after reading that bit.
