That's why we can't have nice things

It's a statement a mom or dad would make, while exasperated with their child for having broken some household item. For instance, a mother buys a new small appliance for her kitchen, let's say its a stand mixer. The kids start playing with it and jam something in the blades and burn out the motor. Mom walks in and sees the mess and yells, "See! That's why we can't have nice things!"

It's a comment that is actually an irrational thing to say, but it's funny for that reason. A very "mom/dad" thing they would say in the heat of the moment.
"See! That's why we can't have nice things! Dad just bought this VCR, and you kids put a sandwich in it! Now it's broken!"

Das nice

The almighty term used when someone tells you something but you don't give 2 up-side-down fucks about it, but you do not want to hurt their fragile feelings because it would cause drama if you were to just say "I don't care and never did" .
Brendon: Hey man, I saw a cat today, it was furry man , you should of seen it. I missed my bus earlier too... Today is such a horrible day man, my pizza fell, lost my little brother at the park.. I am fragile and soft and like males. :)

Naz: Das nice.

Brendon: Aye aye aye Trev, you bout that block life?

Trevor: No my laptop broke and I have to cook and get high

it was really nice to meet you

"you couldn't understand how much i wanted to fuck you"
normally sent as a text message after one has met a potential female in a bar or such situation and has had an unsuccesful night in terms of sleeping with said female. the general underlying message remains; "i'm going to play the nice guy role and hopefully fuck you sometime in the future"
ever man's most depressing text message
it was really nice to meet you tonight, we should hook up soon for a 'drink'

Nice Watch

Phrase muttered at a urinal to make small talk or to cover for the fact that the person saying it has just looked at your junk.

Good way to mess with an annoying person who picked the urinal next to yours when there are many others open.
"Hey Nice watch."

"But I'm not wearing a watch?"
