This is why we can't have nice things

No matter how nice of a thing you have, no matter how hard you may try, someone will always find a way to fuck it up.
Josh: Hey bro can I borrow your phone?
Me: I dunno man, I just bought this. I don't even have a case on it yet!
Josh: Chill dude, I ain't gonna break it. It'll just take a second..
Me: Okay...
Josh:*Immediately drops it on the ground, denting the corner*
Me: God damn it Josh, this is why we can't have nice things.

Philly Nice

The term of endearment for Philadelphians' bluntness and perceived rudeness. We're not trying to be mean, it just comes off that way, because we care more about telling it how it is than beating around the bush. This isn't the South, just say what you mean the first time around and move on.
"Why did that cashier have to be so rude?"
"She wasn't rude, she was just being 'Philly Nice.' It's not her fault you can't count money."

Iowa nice

The, perhaps satirically named, phenomenon found among Iowa natives of remaining surface-deep at all times. Many Iowans will ask you how you are, but make no mistake, they don’t want an honest or detailed answer. Some bland response is required. Expressing opinions or taking stances on really any topic will be met with iciness. Iowans are repressed and judgmental. “Iowa nice” means let’s not actually connect in any human way, but rather, let’s avoid confrontation at any cost.
Our neighbors are Iowa nice. We’ve lived next door to them for fifteen years. They don’t know anything about us and they haven’t asked, either.

HAVE A NICE

A way of life and philosophical movement.

In a world of so much bad and complete sentences, having a nice is an open ended term and philosophical way of living life of looking at the simple things and being grateful for existence as it is.

Not to be confused with Borat's "IT'S NAICEEEEE".
Human 1 - "thanks for shopping at our store, hope to see you again soon!"

Human 2 - "thanks man, Have a Nice!"

How To Be Nice

Day one: Bring her coffee in bed, in a personalized pink mug. She will think you show potential.
Day two: C'mon man, we gave you day one. The rest is up to you.
He knew it was one of those "If you need to ask" things. But still, being clueless, he entered "How To Be Nice" and held his breath.

Very nice, how much?

A reference to the popular film 'Borat, in which he implies an average woman walking past is a prostitute. Used in jest amongst friends, or as flirtation.
Man walks in nightclub, sees attractive woman, wolf whistles and says (probably in same accent as Borat) "Very nice, how much?!"
