"My Bad"
Did Manute Bol, Sudanese basketball giant who passed away this week, coin the phrase "my bad"? Not sure.
But because I watch Curb Your Enthusiasm I am certain that Richard Lewis coined the phrase "from hell" (as in "the mother-in-law from hell").
"There are only two things I love in this world: everybody and television." --Kenneth the Page on 30 Rock ("Believe in the Stars," 3.2)
“Imagine people who could only think aloud. (As there are people who can only read aloud.)” --Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations
"Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offerings/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."--Leonard Cohen, "Anthem"
