you haven't lived until you...

Usually followed by "done this" "eaten this" "watched some movie" etc. It emphasises that so many people have doen it that it has become part of life. Of course, this is most convincing coming from a short fat woman with greasy hair who looks like she's seen every movie ever, eaten every food possible, yo-yo dieted all the time etc.

You haven't live until you've watched the godfather trilogy.

0-60

the time it takes (Measured in seconds) for something to reach 60mph from a standing start.


Contrary to popular belief, most cars cannot achieve such speeds. There is only enough fuel in the car for a test run, and the driver is an expert who builds up the revs and then releases at just the right time (too much and he gets some wheel-spain). No consideration is given as to whether the clutch lasts the test.

0-60 times are innacurate, and you should typically add 20% of that time on for a realistic pull-off.
