Long Story Long

When you had ATTEMPTED to tell a short version of a story but you end up telling the entire story anyway. Or if you have gone far off of the original point, and want to summize the statement. Started in Virginia Beach, by Reitzel.

Short story long

Something that could have been told in a more concise way but is dragged out because the teller doesn't know how to tell a story. It's a play on the annoying clarifier, "Long story short," people use to sum up a digression, which really never seems to be that short anyway. So instead you say the opposite.
