Conceding

There's no sense in conceding an election before all the votes are counted, it's the same thing as giving up to the other guy. If the other guy wouldn't relinquish power even if he lost, why would you concede to him? There's not much point in having higher ground to stand on if the other guy is still there telling you where and how to stand.

Conceding an election is pointless, the other guy thinks of it as weakness. The other guy is glad he ran against somebody too dumb and weak (obedient) to get to where they wanted to go, that's how they look at it.

The pen is mightier than the sword

Another way of saying that theres a lot of bullshit in history books to support the agendas of a group in power to make that group look more like a clear victor without any negative qualities, and make another group look like they met their downfall. In reality, questioning what the pen writes is enough to make you wonder if there are any winners at all with something like a war.

The pen is mightier than the sword is what the same people you need swords for in the first place tell you.

Mental giant

The opposite of a mental midget, someone who is a 9 foot tall ogre in their mind, even if they're five foot nothing.

Guy 1- Why is he/she always slouching like that?
Guy 2-He/she is a mental giant, slouching makes him her look a little bit more predatory and a little bit less silly, so nobody will mess with him/her.

Guy 1- Oh yea, why didnt I think of that?

Office hulk

The guy people say is unassuming and beige as a personality. The office thug can trigger an incident.

General looking for the office hulk- Where's the green-eyed monster? Did he go through here?
Co-worker- He seemed fine when he got here, but then I started seeing papers go flying everywhere, like a tornado hit the office. Its gonna take a long time to clean all this shit up. I don't know where he is now.

Nazi

A clear enemy with no confusion.

Everybody thinks they're going to get a chance to punch some Nazi in the face, but those days are over, people these days are too clever and technologically advanced.

Cats and dogs

A dog will do shit a cat would never do, like beg for food.

The difference between cats and dogs-

Dog- Please fill my bowl, I'm beggin you, don't do this to me!
Dog owner- Shut the fuck up!

Cat- What's up? You got my food yet? Don't make me come back again before that bowl is full. If that bowl isn't full by the time I get back...
Cat owner- All right, all right god dammit, you're not the only one ready to eat you know?

5'2

One of the four worst heights to be for a man. The other three are 4'11, 5'0, and 5'1. Anything under 4'10 is interesting because the man is a certified midget, without question. Anywhere from 4'11 to 5'2 and he doesn't quite fit either midget or grown up size very well, and people around don't quite know how to classify him even though there's no way to try without seeming like a height bigot or short manophobe. A man this size is the size of a petite female, and is usually the next most badass, toughest group at the bar, after midget men.

Dave noticed that even though Paul was only 5'2, he felt small in comparison standing next to him, somehow dave felt compelled to prove that he was a man, not a mouse even though Dave was 6 foot.
