There is one 3 a.m. each day. However, it isn't the morning. It is between sunset and sunrise which is night, right?

We should use the 24 hour clock, then there would be no confusion.There is one 3 a.m. each day. However, it isn't the morning. It is between sunset and sunrise which is night, right?

I guess, but it doesn't seem that confusing to me.We should use the 24 hour clock, then there would be no confusion.There is one 3 a.m. each day. However, it isn't the morning. It is between sunset and sunrise which is night, right?
Plus it would probably encourage a lot more use of the phrase "Oh dark thirty," which would then end up in this thread.

More than a couple years. It first confused me in about 1997. ("It's cold." "I know, right?" What are you asking? Are you asking me to agree with your agreement with me?

Hmmm... I didn't really begin noticing it in Michigan until about 3-4 years ago. My GF started doing it, her friends, and all the girls I teach at school. The odd part is that it is always said with the same inflection-like it was from a movie or TV show. When I asked my GF why she was saying it and where it came from, she was perplexed as she wasn't even aware she was saying it.More than a couple years. It first confused me in about 1997.

You don't hear people say "3 in the morning"? It's pretty common.There is one 3 a.m. each day. However, it isn't the morning. It is between sunset and sunrise which is night, right?

We get 3AM in the morning and the other permutations on the news here. Aargh.
And then there's "one of the only..." Either something is the only one or it isn't. There's no "one of the only".

It is a big thing on imgur these days - usually with a Jonah Hill meme from some movie. Its a few month catch phrase, it will go away soon, unlike the granular, granularity bull#### that continues at the workplace.
Technically, there is:
only Use Only in a sentence
on·ly [ohn-lee] Show IPA
adverb1.without others or anything further; alone; solely; exclusively: This information is for your eyes only.
2.no more than; merely; just: If it were only true! I cook only on weekends.
3.as recently as: I read that article only yesterday.
4.in the final outcome or decision: You will only regret your harsh words to me.
adjective5.being the single one or the relatively few of the kind: This is the only pencil I can find.
6.having no sibling or no sibling of the same sex: an only child; an only son.
7.single in superiority or distinction; unique; the best: the one and only Muhammad Ali.

You do realise that the definition you provide agrees with me, right? The example you highlight doesn't actually illustrate the definition they give, because it's wrong. The phrase you are looking for is, "one of the few".

I'm pretty sure the first time I heard this, it was from an early-twenty-something woman in the office I worked at, which would have put it around 1999, actually. (I said 1997 before, but I think it had to be 1999-2000.) I thought it was weird, but it caught on and hasn't gone away. It's mostly a female thing. It has morphed into just "Right?" in the last few years. As in: "I love Breaking Bad." "Right? So good!" Or: "That guy is really tall." "Right?" And so on.
It might go away, but it's been around for more than a decade in SoCal, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

I have been saying it (for good or bad) since about 2002. I still say it. Not proud of it. FWIW I picked it up in Texas.

"Happy wife, happy life"
I absolutely despise that saying and all of its implications.

I do too. But, I've also found it to be very true. I guess I hate life as it turns out.

I've seen women on Facebook post a selfie next to a jewelry display, tag their husband, and put that as the caption.

unboxing videos.
nothing screams 'nerd' more than some porker fanboy so in love with his electronic devices (usually an Apple device) that he feels the need to share the unboxing of his latest ipad/playstation/mac with the world, probably just before he finds a way to stick his penis inside it.

what's the phrase?
I find these videos very useful when I want to buy something (usually electronics) and need to know what's in the box.
