too long didn't bother reading

Phrase often used on internet message boards to indicate that the poster felt that the previous post addressing him was too long, and therefore he did not read it.

These long posts generally contain a variety of carefully and maturely presented facts on the topic at hand, intended to provide an argument against the poster's views. These posts are generally too long and too content-filled for today's average Joe Internet who is always on the go and never posts more than two lines at a time.

that definition was too long didn't bother reading

when you're this cool, you don't bother with the details

You're just too cool to bother with any details of anything.
And surpass the level of 'Epic coolness'

This line CANNOT be said. Unless you strike a cool pose right after.

Mother: Sweetie, you have weird rocker friends.
Daughter: I'm not a rocker!
Mother: ...Sorry. You have weird goth friends.
Daughter: I'm not goth!
Mother: Then what are you?!
Daughter: Mom! When you're this cool, You don't bother with the details. ;D
