They used the phrase I hate in the teaser for next week! I have told John he's off the hook until I get context, but he's being watched.
Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
I thought of you when I heard it. I'm very curious about the context.
What phrase?
I saw Kane tweeting that he's going to do an actual cooking show on the web. I had no idea he really liked to cook.
Damn fine knife cuts in the episode(Not that I do anything but watch)
I know CK does a lot of his stunts and fighting, I was wondering if that was really him chopping the celery and so forth.
chopping the celery
Is that code?
Not this time.
What phrase?
"You can't con an honest man"
Drives me batshit, that expression does. The only way to make it true is to define "con" as what you do to dishonest people which is, well, cheating. Or to make it a rule, as in "Don't con honest men".
Hustle says it, but Hustle has also had episodes where they've mistakenly cheated an honest person out of money by lying about the profit said person will realise (the fact that the person is actually honest drives some of the episode's plot--they have to give the money back) as a result of their investment.
Oh, my, Breaking Bad. I don't even know what to say.
"You can't con an honest man"
I think it means - supposedly - that only a dishonest person would be trying to get rich quick, and thus be vulnerable to the con.
I disagree, though. I think an honest person tends to believe other people are also honest (until he's been burned enough times, anyway), and is vulnerable to a con because he's too trusting.
