...aaaand that's ANOTHER ten SECONDS that you'll never get back from COMPLAINING about it!

What you sarcastically quip back at someone who is bemoaning da fact dat he wasted ten minutes of his life doing something dat turned out to be useless.

Dude #1 (having just super-briefly talked to customer-service after waiting an absurdly long time to get connected): Man, what an insufferable delay just being stuck on hold --- THAT'S ten minutes of my life that I'll never get back!
Dude #2: ...aaaand that's ANOTHER ten SECONDS that you'll never get back from COMPLAINING about it!

It's just another one-off case

A pervasive Brazilian rhetorical dismissal used to defang any example that threatens a cherished narrative, especially by those in power. When presented with a damning instance of corruption, police brutality, or systemic failure, this phrase magically transforms it from evidence of a pattern into a meaningless statistical anomaly. It's the ultimate tool for normalization, draining collective outrage by insisting each horrific event is a unique, freak accident with no connection to any other—ensuring the structure that produced it never has to be examined.

Example: A video surfaces showing a military police officer executing an unarmed Black teenager in a favela. The government spokesperson appears on TV: "This is a tragedy, but it's just another one-off case. We cannot generalize the honorable work of our police force based on one bad actor." The phrase turns a symptom of endemic violence into a conversational dead end.

bum bum bum and another one bites the dust

A good song.

bum bum bum and another one bites the dust is lyrick to good song.

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust (yeah)
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you, when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, look out
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Hey!
Oh, take it
Bite the dust
Bite the dust, hey
Hey
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, ow!
Another one bites the dust, hey, hey
Another one bites the dust, hey
Ooh, shout!
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can treat him bad
And leave him when he's down, yeah
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat, oh yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Shoot out
Ay-yeah
Alright

Have you got another song?

Said in a deadpan tone in response to someone dropping their bat ie dropping their club money ie opening the ham ie treading on a frog ie cutting the cheese ie dropping their guts ie farting. Other responses include, speak up brown! Sew a button on that! how do you spell that? More tea vicar? And, twist!

The pope: parp!

Simon Cowell slowly putting a hand up and saying, ‘have you got another song?

Brother from another Mother

"A popular informal phrase used amongst close friends, but rather than describing themselves as such, it's used to extend the nature of the bond to a familial level. It all comes down to the idea of a bond between two individuals being so strong, that they understand eachother as brothers. With the lack of an actual biological bond, the afilliation is so strong that it acts as the familial connector, as a substitute for the binding blood, and so, it is a link mutually chosen and experienced, not inherited."

-"Hey! Dumbass, is that you? Crazy to see you here!"

-"Max, My brother from another mother, How's it hanging?"
