Don't forget all those things people say when selling houses or buying cars. E.g. "This house has great curb appeal" really means, "Don't look out back."  Or, "This car has very low milage" really means "because it was in the shop all the time." :)

@510Russ Probably a subject for a future video. Those are worse: they're not actual lies, they're half-truths. You tell half the truth, and leave the rest unsaid.

Really, are your videos really copyrighted?

[rewboss]

@electrovesta Well, yes. Copyright protection is automatic. The only thing in this video that's not mine is the music, and that's released on a Creative Commons Attribution licence, so yes: I automatically have exclusive rights over my own intellectual property.

Mine never do either. Snobs.

@monicavm Honestly, you feed them, you clean out their litter boxes, you deal with their vomit -- the least they could do is smile at the camera.

I find that "i'm fine" is usually a lie given when you ask how someone is

[packjim56]

How about these three, "The economy is showing signs of improvement", or "BP will continue the clean up until the Gulf is put right", or "Exxon will continue the clean up until the Sound is put right".

I agree that's it seems to be said more often in England than anywhere else. Maybe because a lot of Brits are afraid to say what they really think because of their reputation and their appearances.

The ultimate sadness for me would have been to be told #8 : "I understand what you are TRYING to tell me. " (That's a huge insult for someone who has been struggling with the language for a while. The person would rather use advice or prefer to be corrected, so bad sentences wouldn't happen again.

Ein Spruch fehlt (mindestens) ;-)

Wenn ein schafsgroßer Hund auf Dich zuläuft und Dir das Herrchen aus 30 Meter Entfernung zuruft: "Der tut nichts"

Wie Recht du mal wieder hast...;)

...und es tut mir Leid, dir das sagen zu müssen, aber es heißt:

etwas ist nicht DER Rede wert, weil Rede dann im Genitiv steht. Es ist DESSEN nicht wert.

Tut mir Leid, dass ich klugscheiße
