To be fair though

when you’re agreeing with your mates but your ADHD kicks in.

Harry: That’s kinda cool.
Vikk: To be fair though..
JJ & Tobi: To be fair though what? Vikk?
Vikk: Did I? I thought it was Harry that said that.
JJ: Vikk, Vikk, you literally said ‘to be fair though’
Vikk: oh wait, wait, I was agreeing with Harry.

Fair Witness

A "Fair Witness" is a fictional profession in the book "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein. In the book, Fair Witnesses were individuals trained to see the world around them, as literally as possible, until sensed (see/hear/smell/taste/touch) otherwise.

Another way to describe it would be someone that takes all things sensed as literal as possible & have no reason to believe what they just sensed will remain that way when they are no longer sensing them (seeing/tasting/etc.)

An excerpt from the book itself, where the character referenced as "Anne" is an off-duty Fair Witness:

Jubal to Jill: "Even Cavendish did not--at least he won't say so. You know how Fair Witnesses behave."

Jill: "Well...no, I don't. I've never met one."

Jubal to Jill: "So? ANNE!"

Anne was on the springboard; she turned her head. Jubal called out, "That house on the hilltop--can you see what color they've painted it?"

Anne looked, then answered, "It's white on this side."

Jubal went on to Jill: "You see? It doesn't occur to Anne to infer that the other side is white, too. All the King's horses couldn't force her to commit herself...unless she went there and looked--and even then she wouldn't assume that it stayed white after she left."

fair-weather

A fan that only supports their team when it is winning, or only likes a team because it is popular or successful. Apt to jump on and off the bandwagon as their team has it's ups and downs. They ultimately often do not care too much for the team.

I hate seeing all those fair-weather Red Sox fans that came out of nowhere after the 2004 world series.

life's not fair

Biggest fuckin' cop-out.
Used when someone, usually a douchebag, doesn't want to be accountable for his actions.

Kid 1: *Punches Kid 2*
Kid 2: What the FUCK was that for?
Kid 1: Life's not fair.

fair doos

Means the same thing as "fair enough". Shows that you think something is acceptable, or that you don't care and just want to end the discussion.

Bob: No what I meant was that I think your mum is a nice person.
Jim: Oh right. Fair doos!

Fair dig

A term from Belfast N.Ireland meaning two people having a fair fight to settle there differences. No weapons of any kind and no other friends get involved, just two people settling their differences like men then shaking hands and showing respect for each other. After a dispute is settled they may even have a couple of beers together.

Paddy- "Stevie Quinn and Crazy Joe are going to go outside and work out their differences"

Cormac- "Is it a going to be a fair dig"?

Paddy- "Yes, most likely it wont last long as Stevie is a real hard bastard"

Cormac- "Aye its a pity kids these days need to carry weapons and have friends help when they get in fights"

Fair Line

For some unknown reason in baseball, although both are in fair territory, both the line and the pole are officially called the foul line and the foul pole. They are both absolutely in fair territory, and therefore many of my friends and myself have called the two the fair line and the fair pole for many years.

Mike's Weenie's line drive hit the fair pole, and was therefore a home run. Earlier, David DeJesus's hooking liner hit the fair line in right field and was a double.
