the devil is in the details

Some catch, trick, or error that is hidden in the details, often easily missed.

A: Man, this whiskey is smooth!
B: Dude, it's only 80 proof, you're drinking a liqueur not liquor. Remember, the devil is in the details.

the devil is beating his wife

Saying used (especially in the southern US) when the sun is shining yet it's raining. I've been told that in Scandinavian countries they say "There's a marriage in Hades" for this, and in South America they say "The devil and his wife are dancing." (Since all version relate to the devil and his spouse, there's probably some older story that all these sayings derive from.)

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain, coming down on a sunny day? Yes, the devil is beating his wife. (Heh, CCR reference too.)

The Devil's Checkout

When one is clearing the rubble from their Dairyaire after a particular nasty number 2 session. Without the proper tp coverage allowing, ones finger to slip from behind their paper based armor. Brushing against ones said Anus, very much like a checkout clerk would scan a item. And when not hearing the beep of that item, called for a price check...Smelling ones fingers

Sorry I am late had to wash my hands, went though the Devil's checkout and got hung up on the price check

The Devil is Beating His Wife

When the sun is shining but it's raining at the same time.

Adam: Look Jane! It's raining and there's sun at the same time.
Jane: The devil is beating his wife, adam.
Adam: Silly bastard!

The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Of Me

A brilliant album by Brand New consisting of roots of indie rock and garage rock.

Contains songs like:
"Sowing Season (Yeah)" - a hell of a eargasm.
"Jesus Christ" - A song that took your christian girlfriend's virginity and gave it to Jesse Lacey

Last night, I touched myself to "The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Of Me" and I swear I heard Jesse Lacey tell me he loves me after I came.
