email forwards 

Email forwards tend to be generated by nincompoops. They seem to believe that email domains/businesses/ghosts can track your emails and see how many people you send them to.

Often people believe ill babies will get money from AOL. Or perhaps that sending it to 30 people will grant a wish of your choice, improve your luck and or sex life.

The worst part of this phenomenon is that many people believe it. Please don't join them.

I don't kick sideways; I kick forward. 

I don't kick sideways; I kick forward is a meaningless answer Nikki Haley used continuously when asked to differentiate herself from her former boss Donald Trump during her presidential announcement press junkets.

This statement has no meaning and is a complete evasion of questions that were directly asked. The next time my wife asks me which one of her friends in the most attractive I’m going to say:

“I don’t kick sideways; I kick forward”.

It almost sounds like you are glibly answering the question.

Almost.
This is how you use “ I don't kick sideways; I kick forward.” as a conversational tactic:

Wife: Which one of my friends do you find the most attractive.

Husband: I don’t kick sideways; I kick forward.

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!
