(i know- I always put the coolest pictures on my blog!)
O.K. to all "Joe bro" fans, here is a little tip of mine for ya:
Get mental therapy.
(again) please do NOT (see big capital letters NOT) cuss in my blog. I guess some of you people out there did not understand the meaning of NOT from my last post. It is not the catch phrase not used whennn...... oh i don't feel like explaining all of this. Look below for the definition.
Not!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not! is a grammatical construction in the English language that became a sarcastic catchphrase in North America in the 1990s. A declarative statement is made, followed by a pause and then an emphatic "not!" is postfixed. The result is a negation of the original declarative statement. Popularized in North America in the 1990s by the Saturday Night Live skit and subsequent movie Wayne's World, it can be found earliest in print in an 1893 Princeton Tiger (March 30) 103: "An Historical Parallel-- Not." Most often used jocularly, but also be used to express annoyance, it was such a popular catch phrase that it was selected as the 1992 Word of the Year by the American Dialect Society.
The use of a postfix "not" has been used in English since at least the time of Shakespeare (as in "I love thee not"); the 1990s construction emphasizes the addition of the pause between the original statement and the "not".
The "Not!" catchphrase was the basis of a scene in the 2006 movie Borat where a lecturer in humour attempted to explain the grammatical construction to Borat with limited success.
Similar forms of postfix negation are found in other comedic contexts without using the word "Not". Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog invokes the phrase "... for me to poop on!" to negate a compliment that precedes it. (An example would be, "But seriously, you've been a great audience ... for me to poop on!")
Well to those people who still cannot understand........sorry.........i can't help.
