why do you worry about that stuff? well, I'll do my best.
1. Its called the second hand because it counts seconds
2. I have never heard of slow up.
3. Because they don't want to hurt the fat guy by only referring to the slim guy.
4. Wise guy is another way to say smart a$$
5. Slang.
6. You got me there
7. It's after it got dark
8. fonics just doesn't look right
9. Love may be blind, but there is a guide dog.
10. ?
11. I dunno, ask a women.
12. Because you are expecting the unexpected, it does make the unexpected expected.
13. Cause no one likes pushy people
14. There is no air in the bottle to dry it.
15. Because your a$$ and your gender specified privates are never clean enough (unless you are a hot girl).

First of all the second hand counts seconds.
Slow up and slow down have different meaninging in the proper context.
Same with fat and slim chances
Love is blind but lust is visual.
Abbr. is the abbriveation for itself.
Glue only sticks when it is dry.
Bath towels pick up bacteria. You are gradually getting dirty from the time you rinse off.
