care what you know

People don't care what you know, until they know that you care. Sympathy is valued over knowledge by most.

I know you are but what am I

I was a kid in the 60's.. This phrase was not used by older sophisticated persons.. It was simply a juvenile response to juvenile name calling.. Some dumb kid would say: "You're Stupid" the simple and quick response would be "I know you are but what am I".. Sometimes (probably when first used) a good come back to one who was truly stupid, because it confounds them, confuses them.. "Uh uh uh, um, you're stupid?"
In actuallity, the phrase would go back and forth, several times.. "You're stupid", "I know you are but what am I" "You're dumb", "I know you are but what am I".. "What a jerk", "I know you are but what am I", "Jerk", "I know you are but what am I"...

Just a juvenile thing.. Used so often though (way back when) that til this day, I use the phrase in response to good compliments.. Most people my age, or close too, enjoy and laugh :)

Example: "You're cute" my response "I know you are but what am I" :)

I know I'm forgetting something

A gut feeling you get when you're about to leave to go somewhere. You know you're forgetting something essential to your trip/destination but can't immediately place your finger on it.

The feeling is strange and based mostly on intuition, similar to deja vu. If you get this feeling, you may be tempted to dismiss it as a delusion, but after a short period of time something will trigger your memory and you will remember what it is you forgot. To avoid any inconveniences, the best thing to do when you get this feeling is to run through a mental or physical checklist on what you have packed and what you haven't.

This notion made an appearance in the 1990 family movie, Home Alone, when the main character, Kevin, is forgotten at home by his parents on their Christmas vacation to France.
Joe: "You ready for this trip to Amsterdam?"
Brett: "Hell yes, the only problem is that I know I'm forgetting something, but I can't think of what it is."
Joe: "Oh, don't worry about it... you probably just forgot to feed the dog."
(3 hours later, when checking in at the airport)
Brett: "Shit! I forgot my passport!"

Street Knowledge

It’s the knowledge/wisdom that comes from the streets, with the act of experiencing things outside your bubble. One must walk, alone or with somebody, to know the extent of reality.
A man must not only be wise, but know how things work in practical means.
Street knowledge tells you the places you should go, and the places you don’t. Same thing applies to life.
