It's not a term that you hear often, but if you have lots of legal paperwork and you have to make certain it is researched and done properly, then you would hire this person to make sure all the i's are dotted and all the t's are crossed. Does anyone know what term I am talking about?? Again, it is not a common term.

Everyone says it, and I just have no idea what it means. I'm too embarrassed to just ask someone, so I figured I'd ask here. Can anyone help me out? Can you give me some examples in which the expression could be used? Thanks.

All the usual swear words are used so frequently they no longer have any zing to them. I need a new, more offensive swear word to liven up my swearing. Preferably one that can be used in conjunction with other swear words for added effect.

Consider if we found what we were looking for on the first attempt of looking. It would be correct to say that it was the first place you looked for it and also the last place you looked for it (unless you are dumb enough to continue looking after having found it!).
My point is that the phrase is incorrect because it will always be the last place that you look for something that you find it.
