META: "Title says it all" should not be followed by more information.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
True. Unless the title doesn't say it all. Or unless you want to repeat information twice.
Unless you like repeating it twice. Or if "all" isn't what the title actually includes. True.
False.
Do you understand that the world does not revolve around you and your do whatever it takes, ruin as many people's lives, so long as you can make a name for yourself as a[ hating repeated infor on MGoBlog guy], no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so you can make a name for yourself as a[ hating repeated infor on MGoBlog guy], no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way?
Do I put anything after that?
How about this:
"Title says it all" is a logical fallacy, if followed by more information.
No longer an opinion.
What do you mean?
That's what I wanted to say.... but I couldn't well have put that in my OP, now could I?
Such a conundrum.
Go on...
when did it become the norm to reply "absolutely!" instead of "yes" or "correct" or "that's right" when someone is being interviewed on TV or radio?
What's wrong with this? There's nothing wrong with being emphatic. I will do this at work. If someone asks me if my company can offer something or if my product can do something, I will answer "absolutely." Simply saying "yes" is succinct but lazy. If you asked your friend if XYZ hotel was nice and he said "yes" would you hurry up and book your stay? "Did you enjoy your trip to ABC island?" "Absolutely!" Now you're excited!
The point is that people use "absolutely" so often that it completely loses meaning-- when everything is emphatic, nothing is. So just say "yes" or "right" or "correct" most of the time and save absolutely for when it's genuinely a point of emphasis you're trying to make. Unless you're emphatic about every damn thing, in which case, I pity the poor son of a bitch who is the other party in the conversation.
Subject says it all.
Don't really care on this issue. My life would be miserable if I cared whether people put text after saying "Title says it all."
While we're on this sort of topic, anyone who still uses the phrase "nuff said," should strongly consider smoking a cigarette while bathing in lighter fluid.
That says it all.
Meta: Nice thread
^This comment said "Hahahaha, foolish mortals" in blank-title-subject-speak.
I think that the risk we run here is illustrated below. Does the title say it all?
literally means to stop at the first word (and that at minimum, 3 people are involved in the discussion). Otherwise, likely someone else will find a way to say less than you, which then by definition would negate your claim.
It should go without saying.
like, 'everything he says is a lie. he's lying'. oh, man. i'm like the scarecrow and i need a brain.
it gets deleted
I really hate it when people say or write 'look' before making an argument.
AWESOME STUFF.
and just watched most of episode 3. Now recording it on the DVR to rewatch soon, along with the other 2 episode.
History Channel is doing a great job with the material, given that they had to condense everything down into 3 2-hour episodes.
'The Bible' was awesome as well. I'm not religious, but the way it was presented was awesome. Interesting stuff.
Title says it all.
