Scandal Noted

Created by Pete Holmes, comedian. While referencing a celebrity in a conversation for their popular unique quality, but not in relation to a current or past scandal, saying "scandal noted" acknowledges the issue, and avoids a tangent in the conversation.

"He did run a lot of yards during the this past season, but O.J. Simpson, scandal noted, still holds the record for single-season yards-per-game average. A record 143, that may never be broken."

Scandal Noted

Created by comedian, Pete Holmes. A shortcut phrase to be used when referencing a celebrity, place, or event as an example for something other than a well known negative issue about it. The idea is to avoid the negative event being a distraction from the point of the statement or story. It also acknowledges that the speaker is aware of the scandal, so that discussion is not necessary.

It's true that he ran a lot of yardage this season, and that's impressive. It doesn't beat the record still held by O.J. Simpson, Scandal Noted, of the record for the single-season yards-per-game average at 143.1.

We can wipe it out, but certain (cough, Bush) people have to go

Shadygate Scandal

A scandalous event which occurred sometime during 2010 at a local Canadian athletic club in the capital region, in which an elderly man reportedly made offensive remarks to female club members of varying ages. Of notability was a remark made to an underage female (less than 18 years of age), whose parents later filed a formal complaint. Shortly thereafter the man was allegedly banned from the club, and the term "shadophile" was coined.

"The Real Old Shady" was responsible for the Shadygate Scandal
