What goes “without saying?”

Flint • Dec 25, 2008 11:25 pm
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
Beestie • Dec 26, 2008 12:25 am

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.

If my aunt had a dick she wouldn't be my aunt. I always thought that went without saying.
Sundae • Dec 27, 2008 5:13 am
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.
regular.joe • Dec 28, 2008 3:41 am
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.

TheMercenary • Jan 2, 2009 8:39 am
Or your uncle who is a dick.

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.
sweetwater • Jan 19, 2009 1:41 pm
"I'm speechless!" should go 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]
