Hindsight is 20/20

Phrase used to describe the fact that it is easy for one to be knowledgable about an event after it has happened.

IE: An individual has a realization about the event that should have been obvious all along, yet they didn't catch on because they were acting in the heat of the moment.

Also allows one to learn from their mistakes.

After looking back on the situation, Jim realized that quitting his job was a foolish act.

Jim: "Dad, why did you let me quit my job without interceding?"

Dad: "Hindsight is 20/20, son, learn from your mistakes."

Intuitive Hindsight

Claiming to have known something was going to happen, when in actuality you were genuinly suprised. Often this is done simply to save face.

"Hey mom! I just went skydiving!"

*after being visibly suprised* "Oh. Somehow I knew you'd do something crazy like that."

"Nice try, mom. I can tell Intuitive Hindsight when I see it."

Hinsson

Hinsson is a very handsome guy with a cute personality. He is deeply in love with mathematics and computer programming. He is a very hardworking guy that does his best in every test and exams. He doesn’t like to eat much food during his lunch, he often eat a bread for his lunch or even doesn’t eat anything. He has a very creative and funny friend besides him always since he is not a funny guy. Also, this man is totally obsessed with the name with double s, he thinks that this is his signature. He has a very bad hobby that he likes to abuse people who play tic-tac-toe with him, so no one ever played tic-tac-toe with him any more, though it is a fun game. He is a very good friend, so if you have a friend that called Hinsson, you are very lucky.

Hinsson love mathematics.
