Actually it makes alot of sense when you analize the true meaning of it. my most used “saying” I just love it and it cracks people up when I do. they sometimes say it before I do because I have become predictable with it.

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 01:07:29 +0000 http://www.oxymoronlist.net/same-difference/#comment-58 The reason I hate this phrase is because no one uses it correctly. People generally use it in order to dismiss the fact that they don't know what they're talking about. For example: Person 1: "I saw you at Kroger yesterday." Person 2: "You mean Wal-Mart?" Person 1: "Same difference." What would that difference be? The fact that you can't remember which store you were in yesterday, or are to much of a jackass to say, "My mistake, Wal-Mart"? Correct usage of this phrase would be something like the following: Person 1: "The boy's head is upside down." Person 2: "So is that boy's over there." Person 3: "Same difference." An odd choice, to be sure, but it was the only example I could think of to illustrate the fact that with the subject in question, there was in fact a difference (i.e. something against the norm), and that because they were actually comparing the exact SAME DIFFERENCE, this is a great example of where the phrase is used correctly. "Same difference" should never be used to dismiss one's own idiocy. The reason I hate this phrase is because no one uses it correctly.
