Well, it's not very nice, it is a very crude and impolite term for a homosexual. (mind you I don't agree with that life style) it's just me, but the saying is disgusting. :D\n\nOkay I am chuckling and turning red, but it's still disgusting :S

That's pretty cool.... the problem is I don't know what it means! By the way, where are you from?

Yeah, I think it's saying that something has no meaning or worth.\n\n"Oh no you di'n floccinaucinihilipilificate me!"

It means.." Kill the Americans"... This is a motto that President Vincente Fox is pushing in Mexico.

It is not a very good word, and there is no direct translation. It is something like f**k or s**t, and usually used when you drop something or do something wrong.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking.\nAre you asking what an American would mean by using that phrase in a sentence?\nIf so, it would mean an extremely loud noise ( as in an explosion) that could "shatter the glass". In other words, loud enough to break it.\nOr a high-pitched or very loud voice could cause someone to say, "Her voice is so high, it could shatter (break) glass."

It's a slang word where I am from and in it's context does not mean anything close to what the white people meant when they said it.  But on the contrary I do not use that word and I don't take offense if a black or white person says it.  Come in we are in the year 2006 slavery days are over people need to lighten up and stop using philosophy on every little thing.

It sounds like it means don't overexamine things (level downward to our dullest perception) and use common sense.  Something like that.\n\nEverybody does need common sense though, if you think about it.  No matter how much higher education you have, if you don't have any common sense, you might be worse off than an auto mechanic who has common sense.  A business man with all of these degrees making choices without using common sense is a disaster waiting to happen.

It is an idiom intended to mean "be careful, pay attention to detail"  it has morphed, in recent times, to mean many other things including "be polite".\n\nThere are several theories about it's origin, but the one I believe makes the most sense is - mind your Pints and Quarts.  Meaning to keep track of what you order in a pup so you are not over charged.

The phrase comes from a Norse (and then Middle English) verb that has been lost to us.  You might even trace the expression to the Greek verb "agein," which means "to lead," or maybe "agon," which is a contest.\n\nRegretably, it has nothing to do with eggs, egg products, or the laying of eggs.

Good question:\n\nMaybe Society or people in general.  Also, if its a quote it could just mean that you dont know who originally said it.

In its simplest form it means what you don't know won't hurt you.\nIt's from Thomas Gray's 1742 poem, "Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College" and the full quote is:\nWhere ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise.

Nothing. It is a phonetic abbreviation. It means "to come" which is just what you said.

I do not know what this means.

Nobody actually knows where that phrase comes from.  There is an urban legend about where it came from that can be found here: http://www.snopes.com/language/stories/brass.htm
