To be or not to be

"To be or not to be, that is the question." It is believed that Shakespeare was actually a Java programmer and this famous line was originally recorded as

boolean question = (_2b)||!(_2b);

But that's just a legend... ;-)

...And according to boolean logic, the question is true.

To Be Frank

Who is the frank? No one really knows... All we know is that frank is someone to strive to be. Frank has been a mystery to us for many decades. Historians might never figure out who frank is or was, all we can do is pray that we might find him one day.

To be frank, I like that ass.

to be continued

A lame plot device consisting of a disclaimer often seen at the unexplained or hasty ending of a TV programme informing the viewer that either:

-a main character may have possibly died or left permanently (but usually hasn't, if they have the actor likely quit working on the show due to pay disputes)

-the script writers are fresh out of ideas until next week/month

-the director of the TV show believes viewers actually have attention spans longer than goldfish, absolutely no lives and care enough about the characters & plot that they are willing to sit on their ass for days and nights patiently awaiting the conclusion of last week's cliff-hanger

-the director believes making an audience wait anywhere from 24 hours to 1 week for a continuation will actually build anticipation and suspense among them and generate more interest in his show (instead of actually annoying the living shit out of them)

-the script writers got over-ambitious or just plain fucking lazy, and couldn't finish the episode within the deadline

-the episode has gone over it's allotted TV channel timeslot and hence will be replayed sometime later

-there wasn't enough time to finish the episode within 5 minutes

-technical/financial/on-set/casting difficulties made finishing the episode impossible

-a cliff-hanger/what-if/multi-part story arc has been planned for future episodes (usually occurs when one season of a show ends, the following episode will begin with a recap of the previous one)

Actor 1: "But wait... I have the answer to the meaning of life of itself!"

Actor 2: "Oh my god! OH MY GOD! Quick... TELL ME!"

TO BE CONTINUED...

Jane: "Billy wait, before we get married... I have something I should tell you."

Billy: "Duh?"

Jane: "I'm actually cheating on you with your brother, pregnant with your son's child, an alien from Jupiter, the person responsible for killing your parents AND... I'm not actually Jane at all."

*Jane rips off her face*

Jane: "I'm your mother."

*Camera zooms in on Billy's gaping expression of shock and then fades to black"

TO BE CONTINUED...

Agent Mulder: "Scully, for the first time I can promise you behind this door lies a real, extraterrestrial, alien being... here on earth. See for your own eyes..."

Agent Scully: "Mulder, this is the 789th time you've said that... but okay, open the door. I'm ready."

*Agent Mulder opens the door to reveal...*

TO BE CONTINUED...

"The End?" can also be used a substitute for "To be Continued..."

To Be One

They are three amazing guys named Mikey Fusco, Madison Alamia, and Jason Smith. They are talented, sweet, down to earth, great singers and dancers. They were formally ICONic Boyz. After a while, they decided 'tobeone' and stick together with singing and dancing. These amazing boyz can put a smile on your face no matter what. They are so positive and always being themselves. They are also so open with their fans. Their fans love and support them no matter what. Their fans can be over protective, but that's only because they care and love so much about them. We all know they're going to make it big one day. That day will show all the haters that they didn't stop them. The haters cant stop them. The boyz are happy just being themselves. They love what they do. No one can take that away from them. Their co-manager Layla has an amazing role. She is the sweetest lady around. We cant thank her enough for all she has done for them.

To Be One are the best thing that have even happen to many. They saved many peoples' lives by just being themselves. They are just the definition of perfection. Anyone who says otherwise, obviously needs to check themselves(:

Person: Who's To Be One?

Me: They're three amazing guys named Mikey, Madison, and Jason. They're my lifesavers(:

to be or not to be

A quote from William Shakespeare's famous play, Hamlet.

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.

To Be fair

A phrase that often precedes a statement that is intended to offer a piece of information which the speaker feels is important to the conversation.

This phrase often sounds pretentious when used, and will often be followed by a piece of obvious information that nobody wants to hear.

Joe: "I've gained twenty-five pounds!"
Bob: "To be fair, you haven't gone outside at all in the past four months!"
