understandwich

The state of being stuck between two points of view, understanding both but not favouring one over the other.

Seeing the relative merits of both Aerosmith and the White Stripes, John was the understandwich in what he considered an unnecessary argument.

Totally Understand

The short version of "Dude I totally understand, I mean I would do the same thing if I was a pussy"
You use it when someone is being a little bitch and won't do anything fun.

Little Bitch: "No, i couldn't ask her out"
Other Guy: "That's alright I Totally Understand"

undershare

Providing too little information or context when blogging or tweeting. With the ubiquitous status updates on Facebook and Twitter, people forget that it can be helpful to provide enough context for a message to be meaningful. So, ironically, while people tend to overshare, they also undershare at the same time!

Guy 1: I got a tweet last night from Jim, he said, "this is so effing great!"
Girl 1: I saw that, too. Why does he constantly undershare?!
Guy 1: Probably wasn't that great.

there are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who dont

A joke used by those who are savvy in mathematics. The joke is funny because it makes the point that the person saying the phrase only understands the decimal system, which relies on numbers in groups of 10. The binary system relies on numbers in groups of 2. If the speaker of the phrase had been able to understand binary, he/she would've said the phrase correctly, "there are 2 types of people...".

there are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who dont

Decimal:
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,
10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,
etc...

Binary:
0,0
0,1
1,0
1,1
etc...

understatement

1. expressing with restraint or lack of emphasis, usually used for an ironic' or rhetorical effect.

2.basically a figure of speech that writers use to subtly make a situation less important or serious than it really is.

Saying "We've had a little rain," when the neighborhood is flooded. Now that is an understatement.

The last line of Frost's "Birches" illustrates understatement: "One could do worse than be a swinger of birches."
