Review Icon georges11 reviewed Don't get mad, get even in Aphorisms, Whimsical and Otherwise:
Yes! If someone wrongs you you must respond. They have wronged you somehow in some way that you feel wronged. It may be a small wrong-doing, it may be a BIG wrong-doing. If it is small, let it go but keep note of it. If it is a big wrong-doing then you MUST do your best to kick their ass!
You must get even. In some instances this is as gentle as a quiet 'Sorry', yet in other instances you must gain revenge. You decide how.

Review Icon CanadaSucks reviewed Handshake in The Hand List:
Pretty much a universal custom held over from our primitive tribal days. . .separates and categorizes those by how much communication you've had with them. Guess it's a big five. . .

Review Icon Victor83 reviewed Talk to the hand (suggested by Andrew Scott) in The Hand List:
I've heard that this originated in the 90's...more specifically, that Hillary routinely said this to Bill at bedtime.
Can anyone confirm?

Review Icon CanadaSucks reviewed Second-hand in The Hand List:
I like this one.

I have a second-hand store in my town and I make a trip once or twice a year. The phrase still works. The metaphor is still appropriate.

Review Icon CanadaSucks reviewed Handy dandy in The Hand List:
Quite stale and hackneyed.

It was probably a cool expression when white people dominated the NBA.

What kind of square 1956 tv show kid's catchphrase is this? "Gee willikers Dad, will we really be getting ice cream after all? Handy Dandy!"

Highly annoying addition to the list. Guaranteed to get you a beating in Philadelphia if used.
