Who is "everyone"? Because it certainly isn't actually everyone.

"Everyone" not remotely everyone.

You and I may be defining "everyone" differently.

"almost everyone" is not everyone

It might not be everybody.

‘Everyone’? That is a vast assumption!

"Everyone" is usually going to be a stretch. I know it's not true, in this case.

borism | karma 2745 | avg karma 1.96 · | 2010-04-01 23:25:12+00:00

depends on who's "everyone"

"Everyone else" is pretty broad and the kind of categorization I wouldn't expect from someone with an open mind

nullsense | karma 1429 | avg karma 1.69 · | 2023-06-05 22:35:28

Doesn't mean absolutely everyone knows who absolutely everyone is.

Not to you. But to some. You're not everyone, and everyone else isn't you.

SgtBastard | karma 228 | avg karma 1.21 · | 2022-12-21 15:47:26

I don’t think you made the comment you thought you made. If you’re caveating “everyone” to mean something other than every single person, you should state those caveats.

jkhdigital | karma 3284 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2021-05-28 00:02:37+00:00

Not just some people—everyone.

enraged_camel | karma 16714 | avg karma 2.78 · | 2014-01-13 23:41:03+00:00

Yep. I'll go even further: in this case, "not everybody" means "nobody."

cakedoggie | karma 199 | avg karma 1.2 · | 2017-08-22 05:32:00+00:00

You could do what a lot of people do, and don't use the word everyone when it is not the case, or not even close to being the case.

heywherelogingo | karma 140 | avg karma 0.75 · | 2022-11-30 08:34:59

It's not you, it's everyone else?

tbabb | karma 3467 | avg karma 5.57 · | 2017-07-02 18:52:05+00:00

"Everybody does it" is not really a statement about its validity.

xtal | karma 47 | avg karma 2.94 · | 2011-07-04 20:58:08+00:00

Not everybody is you.
