the costs of exploring space are "astronomic", but are vital for the continuance of the the human specie (as we know it)...the present human conflicts and power struggles are not cost effective and waste billions through warfare etc....(albeit we have technological breakthroughs as a result that benefit us too)
can we possibly unite the human race for space?

Why do people include "all but" when referring to a certainty?

For example, why should I say "The battle was all but lost" instead of "The battle was lost"? If I included "all but", that implies the battle was not lost, even though it was

Sometimes Norman Chad, an ESPN commentator who covers the World Series of Poker, sometimes says that someone is giving an "ooshka-ooshka look." I'm spelling out the word phonetically, as I don't know the actual spelling of the word.

This phrase is killing me. What is "ooshka," what does it mean, where does it come from, and how do you spell it? I know, I'm odd, but I'm compulsive like that. I won't sleep until I find out the answer.

I realize that another term that Norman uses -- whamboozled -- is his invention, but it is a combination of "wham" and "bamboozle," so it's not completely made up. At any rate, "ooshka-ooshka look" has to come from somewhere. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.
