we will beat Shelbyville hypnotist you will give 110 team that's impossible no one can give more than 100 by definition that's the most anyone can give 99 of the time 99 of the time when people say 99 of the time they really mean most of the time worse they actually mean to say most of the time in my opinion and limited experience but I actually don't have a sufficient data sample to back up my

smack I sometimes use this with my supervisor at work to mean I have a problem that might take some time to resolve so I wanted to make sure you're not in the middle of doing something right now it just seems kind of rude to walk up to someone who's working and immediately blast them in the face with a problem I hate when people use the phrase that begs the question when they are trying to say

horrifying I only use this to pee off my friends saying well this is awkward in a lalan conversation makes the lulls like Kyle awkward and makes them all get at me because it really wasn't awkward but it is now thus prompting further conversation works like a dream if you are new to the channel you can subscribe I publish new videos every day until then check another video thank you [Music] bye for
