firm evidence

1. Proof that an individual, group, or organization has performed some act. Something not to always be taken at face value.
2. The favorite excuse of the current administration for taking action, especially against others.

When Rice says firm evidence, people say "Haven't we heard this one before?"

A tremendously long line and wait at a restaurant would be Social Evidence that the food must be good!

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

The most beautiful phrase uttered by Gin Rummy in The Boondocks. A phrase you should live your life around and follow for the rest of your life.

Riley: So y'all was in Iraq together?
Gin: Yeah, we was in Iraq
Riley: What did you do?
Gin: We was lookin for weapons of mass destruction
Riley: Did you ever find them?
Gin: You know goddamn we ain't find 'em. What are you some kind of political humorist ? You care to toe up in this bitch?!!
Ed: I was lookin for bitches, but they had the carpet shit all over 'em, and I couldn't see what they look like. All that was really exposed was they eyes and that wasn't really enough for me cause you know; shit I'm lookin at they eyes, and

I take they carpet off and then I got a tragedy.

Gin: Well naw we ain't find 'em. But I always say the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

Riley: What?
Gin: Simply because you don't have evidence that something does exist, does not mean that you have evidence that something doesn't exist
Riley: What?
Gin: What country you from?
Riley: What?
Gin: What ain't no country I ever heard of they speak English in what?!!
Riley: What?
GIn: English, mothafucka!!!! Do you speak it?!!
Riley: Yeah
Gin: So you understand what I'm sayin to you?!!
Riley: Yeah

Gin: So what I'm sayin is there are known knowns and known unknowns, but there's also unknown unknowns, things that we don't know!!
Riley: What?
Gin: Say what again!!! Say what again!! I dare you!! I double dare you mothafucka!!! Say what one moe time!!!

Empirical Evidence

Demanding empirical evidence is a way to deflect attention off yourself when you're being confronted about blatant lies you've told, or rumors you've created out of thin air.

Unless you have empirical evidence, Audrey won't believe the rumors you're telling her.

photographic evidence posthaste

The gentlemen-like way of requesting pictures. More so than "PICS NAO" is anyway.

Person 1: "She then took her panties off and kissed my tophat and monocle!"
Person 2: "Attractive British woman you say?! Photographic evidence posthaste!"

Gobbled the goose and went south with the evidence

1. To felate and swallow the ejaculate.

2. To suck a penis and swallow the sperm/cum.

I took that girl from the bar home last night and she gobbled the goose and went south with the evidence on the way there in my car.
