Benefit of the doubt

To give someone the benefit of the doubt is to default to the belief that their intentions are honest, and not assume malice when there is uncertainty or doubt surrounding the circumstances.

John didn't pay me back the $20 he owes me, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he simply forgot and isn't trying to rip me off.

Reasonable Doubt

1. Rapper Jay-Z's 1996 debut album. Considered by many to be one of the greatest rap albums ever.
2. Legal term for when there is a plausible reason to believe that someone has not committed the crime of which they are being accused.

1. "The Black Album" was tight, but "Reasonable Doubt" is still Jigga's best album.

2. The witness was unable to place my client at the crime, therefore you have reasonable doubt annd you have to acquit my client.

asian doubt

Originally created to describe Ming’s actions, “Asian doubt” is the inability for an Asian to act on his or her feelings and instincts because he or she over thinks too much and begins to doubt him or herself. This is most assuredly applicable in terms of 1) asking a girl or guy out on a date or 2) almost anything Asians do. That’s why Asians are stereotyped as submissive and pushovers, it’s because of this transition phase from thinking about doing something and actually doing it that causes Asians to doubt themselves.

Will: Yo Ming! Lets chill with the homies and play some b-ball!

Ming: I'm going to study at the library all night and obsess over Harvey.

Will: You serious?! Asian doubt~~

Benefit of the doubt

When giving someone the benefit of the doubt, you are believing what they say and taking their word because you, yourself, have some doubt about what happened.

Guy: nothing happened, i swear!
Girl: well i'll give you the benefit of the doubt since i have no idea what happened.
