"It's a mute point."
I heard this in a meeting of dept. heads yesterday. :yoiks: Does that mean it's over for the physical year, and that they're having an outer body experience? :shrug: :rofl:

Sheesh.....

1. I know, I know, I know! I hate that! But how many people do you think
know the meaning of "moot"?

10. A co-worker said that just the other day.
Unfortunately I hear that one so much here in hoosierland that it doesn't even phase me any more.

My new favorite:

"Six of one, two dozen of the other" from someone trying to say that there was no difference between two choices.

ACK!

14. But I'm using a "faze" converter.
You know like when you've been shot by a phaser.

Now I'm just phased and confused.

16. "I hope my team earns a birth in the tournament."
Gaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I've even seen the usage defended as meaning "new life" in the postseason.

37. You don't have to shout, chief!
I am looking forward to the remake, although Don Adams' shoes will be mighty hard to fill.

Come to think of it, I don't I've seen Get Smart on DVD yet. I would buy it. Now I'm off to Amazon.... :hi:

I fear that they may screw this up. I just hope they keep Andy Dick away from it.
