Question

worse?

Answer 1

U know...that actually makes sense. Let's start a petition...

Answer 2

That's easy. Think about it like you're riding a bike going downhill. If you riding the bike downhill it's pretty easy, you don't have to pump as fast and hard, you can pretty much relax and enjoy the breeze...however, if youre going downhill and it's a little too fast and you can't control the bike, you flip, break your arm, and then you're messed up. So that's why it's a good and bad thing. It depends on how you look at it.

Answer 3

People are silly in their euphemisms. They also say "I could care less" when they really mean, "I couldn't care less". Other sillinesses are when people say "like" twenty million times a day. Doubling words up such as "compact cd" which would mean "compact compact disc" or "ABS breaks" = "anti-lock breaking system breaks"...and I'm supposed to be the colloquial one?

Answer 4

because it can mean that its easier cause it is easier to walk downhill than uphill or it can mean stuff is going to get worse because everything is going down. nothing is looking up in your life!!!do you get it???

Answer 5

cause people like to use certain sayings in different ways....take for instance 'your stupid' in black slang that could mean something different other then what i think of it as being white which would mean you are mentally defficient to the average person.
