Scandal Noted

Created by Pete Holmes, comedian. While referencing a celebrity in a conversation for their popular unique quality, but not in relation to a current or past scandal, saying "scandal noted" acknowledges the issue, and avoids a tangent in the conversation.
"He did run a lot of yards during the this past season, but O.J. Simpson, scandal noted, still holds the record for single-season yards-per-game average. A record 143, that may never be broken."

Scandal Noted

Created by comedian, Pete Holmes. A shortcut phrase to be used when referencing a celebrity, place, or event as an example for something other than a well known negative issue about it. The idea is to avoid the negative event being a distraction from the point of the statement or story. It also acknowledges that the speaker is aware of the scandal, so that discussion is not necessary.
It's true that he ran a lot of yardage this season, and that's impressive. It doesn't beat the record still held by O.J. Simpson, Scandal Noted, of the record for the single-season yards-per-game average at 143.1.
