What’s With This, “If You Will…”
Ya know, I can’t stand hearing this phrase, “if you will”.
I first remember it coming to my consciousnness as part of Darth Cheney’s famous quote about the insurgency {if you will} being in it’s last throes.
Does this mean anything? Now everyone seems to be saying it, liberals, consevatives, wingnut morons, everyone. But this phrase means nothing. I always find myself thinking, “No, I don’t think I really want to, thank you”.
I wish they would just stop.
