After the fact 

This is a phrase that you say when someone does or says something but they have no idea that their timing was totally and stupidly wrong. Oftentimes, people will say it with the word "all".

after the fact 

A euphemism for "after intercourse".
"The National Institutes of Health convened a group of experts that year to address the question 'What is the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of latex male condom-use sic to prevent STD transmission during vaginal intercourse?'

Most of the relevant published studies, they found, didn't use the kind of experimental design you'd want to see – i.e., prospective design, in which the researcher compiles data by following the subjects' behavior going forward, rather than gathering data after the fact."

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
