I love you, but I'm not in love with you.

Statement used to express regret and or fear about the current situation of an amorous or once amorous relationship. It generally means that the person who is expressing himself/herself has a deep emotional bond with their current mate, but that bond is possibly/probably not strong enough to merit a lifetime, or long-term commitment. Usually, there is either some dissatisfaction, disappointment, or confusion on the part of the person using this statement.

Example (interchangeable):

Woman: Why can't we be together?
Man: I love you, but I'm not in love with you.
Woman: What does that mean?
Man: It means that I need something in my life that being with you is just not able to provide. If you need anything, I'm there, but we aren't working.

Not cool

An expression on how something is... well, not cool. Very similar to the following expression: gay, retarded, lame, etc.

"Dude, you got drunk and danced naked in the middle of the freeway while singing "Jingle Bells" in Spanish?!"

"Dude, I know. Totally not cool."
_ _ _ _

Not cool situation: When you get an "F" on your math test because you studied the wrong chapter... three minutes prior to the test ^_^
_ _ _ _

*Bitch slap* <---- Not cool.
_ _ _ _

Boyfriend: "I have something to tell you..."
Girlfriend: "You love me? =)"
Boyfriend: "Uh, I'm gay."
Girlfriend: "What? NOT AGAIN! This is SO not cool"

im not gonna look stupid syndrome

a syndrome in which someone is feeling really stupid or embarrased (usually because of something someone else did to them.usually in a joking manner)and the affected person lashes out desperately in the moment by pushing the person who did it to thems stuff off of something or lashes out violently to avert the humiliation back to the other person.. this condition mostly occurs in males.

(easier to understand if you can relate.)

someone trips their friend in the hallway as a joke and the person they tripped feels so embarrased that they push the person down as if it would avert the humilialtion.

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'

Trying to let someone thing you're "not sayin'", when, in fact, you most certainly ARE "sayin'".

Trying to make it seem like you are not saying anything unkind or questionable, but then admitting that you are. It happens so fast, no one will be the wiser...

Beezus : Does this pair of jeggings make my ass look enormous ?
Ramona: Well, maybe a little.

Beezus : Dang - for reals ?
Ramona: Hey, I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'
