Coined by Brian "The Dark Lord" Chamberlain, AKA The DLC.
Originally it was used by the Dark Lord to complain about a ruling by the DM that caused him to say, not do nearly as much damage as he expected to in D&D.
Now it is more of a word generally used to question anything that seems illogical, out of place, ironic, or hypocritical.

Early Usage (Circa 2001-2003)
DLC: I cast LIGHTNING BOLT on the group of **name of monster we're fighting**!
*rolls a bunch of dice*
I do 32 Damage. Ahh...
Steve (DM): The lighting seems like it SHOULD have hurt them... but they don't appear hurt.
DLC: Uhh... Steve, **name of monsters** aren't immune to lightning spells... unless... oh CRAP! In PLAYER I know what we're fighting, but my character doesn't know! Dammit. *Arrogant look.*
Later example (2004-05)
Me: Max, a pound of feathers weighs less than a pound of bricks.
Max: Uhh, Steve... they're both a pound...

Twenty dollar bills, so one can make change with all the Mexican people that buy everything with $100 bills, yes, even if they have twenties. Keeping twenties is insurance against the slowdown caused by having to get change for a $100 from someone else.
I saw a lot of Mexican families in line ready to mispronounce the name of the movie they wanted to see after taking 5 minutes standing in line to decide what that movie would be, so I made sure that I had plenty of Mexican Insurance on hand by keeping more twenties in my drawer.

A phrase used by someone who has been proved wrong with factual evidence. Instead of admitting their wrongness, they will simple reiterate the same argument and add "be that as it may" to suggest that they are compromising and admit some fault, but really don't feel any differently.
Person 1: I think your dog is shedding all over the couch
Person 2: Be that as it may, you still should vacuum it.

Hot girl: Here's a coupon for a free picture of me in a bikini and a punch in the nose. If you pay me a dollar, you get 10 pictures. and no punch
