What goes “without saying?”
 

People always say that something goes without saying, but how often is that really the case?

Is there anything, anything at all, that you can think of that actually goes without saying?

that you're a weirdo

it.

There are some things that go without saying, so I'm not going to say them.

That you may not have someone to peel the hard boiled eggs for you does not go without saying.

Saying "Thank you" when someone steps out of your way or holds the door open for you goes without saying. Although I admit this is experience rather than hard fact.

That when Flint has TOO Much Xmas Candy he Makes a Bunch of Silly threads

That I fucking rule.

That you're the reason they're putting out a DSM V?

Mimes.

excellent.....

"yes, well..... mimes....that goes without saying."

If my aunt had a dick she wouldn't be my aunt. I always thought that went without saying.

Well technically, if she was a blood relative and trans-gendered, she would have a dick and still be your Aunt.

Which was the exact situation of a guy that used to work at our shop.

Well that certainly goes without saying.

No, I don't think so Sundae. If my uncle who has a dick, thus making him my uncle, thought he was a girl it would not make him my aunt. It would make him my uncle who is a bit fucked in the head.

Bigot.

Or "my uncle who's fuckin' Goofy."

Or your uncle who is a dick.

You guys are missing the point here. This whole thread should go without saying.

That, there, What Cic said...that goes without saying.

Dana goes without saying. :)

I go without saying what? What am i not supposed to say?

Shh!

Needless to say. :3eye:

Generally very obvious or very gross and embarrassing things go without saying. Or more accurately, obvious things "go without saying" while gross and embarrassing things are "better left unsaid".

For instance if someone asks you to pass the maple syrup at the breakfast table, he really wouldn't have to tell you he means to use it on his pancakes. You'd probably guess that if you saw a stack of pancakes in front of him. It would go without saying.

If he intended to give himself a maple syrup enema, it would be better left unsaid.

And shouting very loudly from the bathroom, "I'm pissing!" --

Is not going without saying.

"I'm speechless!" should go without saying.

that sitting in this thread will rot your brain...well that definetly goes without saying

Too late...goes without saying..:)

[humph]It's obvious, nothing goes without saying, because everyone says "It goes without saying that .... " and then proceeds to say what it goes without saying.[/humph]

Silent lucidity.

chronic laryngitis
