Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve

Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve is a masterpiece of a song written by the amazing Taylor Swift. It is more than a song but a monologue waiting to be said, loud and clear. It is a song that describes how one her past relationships with a man who was much older than her continues to haunt her despite her ending it and starting fresh, the way it has made her lose sleep and the way it always finds a way to come back to her. She indirectly says that she regrets this in the form of poetic song lyrics whose meaning is often overlooked.
Person 1: ‘would’ve could’ve should’ve is such a good song!’

Little more choke and you would've started luv!

Helpful advice to give, in the event of someone farting loudly, in public.

1. Refers to 20th Century cars, where the "choke" would give more gas to the acceleration
2. Best delivered using an Australian accent
Scene: Very quiet, contemplative, fine art museum moment. While gazing thoughtfully at Monet's lilies in their pond, large Marge lets rip with a loud, egg-tinged room emptier. A Helpful Gentleman suggests: "Little more choke and you would've started luv!"
