Title: Meaningless Term
Post by: sinamun on April 14, 2009, 12:52:53 pm
What is the most Meaningless term you know?
Well, the most meaningless ive ever hear is;

'Near-miss' - When two planes nearly collide, they call it a 'Near-miss'
Its a Near hit!
a Collision, is a 'Near-miss'

BOOM!
"Look, They nearly missed.."

Well they missed when they were really close, so near to each other so yeah it was a near-miss.

when they nearly hitm its called a 'near-miss' when it should be called a 'near-hit'
a collision would be a 'near-miss'

Uh no. You were near each other but you missed. It could also be called a near hit. But when two planes hit, its called a collision.

Definition:
Near miss - A narrowly avoided collision involving two or more aircraft, ships, boats, or motor vehicles.

that is pointless because they hit so its not a miss nor is it nearly a miss..

They do not hit, definition says, avoided collision. So as they were near each other, they missed, so I do get it why it is called near-miss. In Estonian it is called napikas.

Yeh, what's wrong with that one? If it's TOO cold it will not snow. It has to be a certain degree < NERD!

Yeah it has to be in between a certain degree to snow. If it gets too cold then it will just be hail I guess.

As i know there are just ice not snow

Yeah.........most of it is ice. And the poles do get warmer for it to snow. And on absolute zero, then it is too cold to snow...

There is snow and tons of it over 10 metres deep.. it snows everyday, 24 hours a day in the right seasons..
But yes I guess you are right with the fact that it cant snow at abolute zero.. infact nothing will happen cos everything would be dead and frozen    :conf:

But back on topic - the reason why it is a meaningless quote ( ''Its too cold to snow'' ), is the fact you hear it in places like here in the UK where the coldest it will get all year round is -5... or -10 if your (un)lucky.

Very famous term in my country, it has more sense in my language, but there we go..
"You are fine, but you'll get better."

I just remembered another one:

''Oh just grow up!''


I mean, lets be honest, think about this quote logically for a second  :conf:
