Everyone says "this begs the question," meaning "this leads to the question" or "this raises the question." This is incorrect. Negi is telling those people to SHUT THE FUCK UP
And I couldn't agree more.

Sorry, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept that Negi hasn't been banned yet.

And quit saying "I could care less" when you mean "I
couldn't care less".

Logically, one could care less by not saying anything at all. They would have yet to reach the lowest echelons of apathy.

Your vulgar manner offends my sophisticated sensibilities. A ban? A ban, you say? That will be the day! Good day, ser.

I know. I think I've heard the expression said wrong over 80% of the time.

In a recent study by the census bureau, 67.9732% of percentages cited were cooked up whole cloth.
Also there is an inverse relationship between the number of digits included in a percentage with the probability it'll be called bullshit.

I'm a fan of spades, although I've only played it with black people (not kidding, not one bit.)
