What does this mean in regard to receiving info about a boy? It was said very matter-of-factly, like he’s blah blah blah (all the good things…) “but what you see is what you get”. What’s the BUT? Is this something I should worry about?
It means he’s fat.
He has good looks.
Kidding, it means he isn’t pretending to be someone he isn’t; he is inside the same as he appears from the outside. It is usually said as as compliment. Except if he is shvartzawolf, then it is an insult.
could be it means that he is a real dude. lucky you
sg – like popa said. He isn’t some calm funny dude who gets all uptight and controling under pressure. Or some guy who is generally laid back but then at home he is nuts about ironing sheets and keeping socks in his fridge. Not that he’s hiding things on purpose, but some people are very different under different circumstances, and some are pretty consistent all the time.
It probably means what Popa said, when you think you got to know him, you did. However, in my experience, I’ve seen that people shoot terms that have some meaning to themselves but are otherwise meaningless.
It means Efron took away all his money.
I don’t know you personally, but based on how you post I would think you wouldn’t want someone “blah blah blah”. You want someone Rah! Rah!! Rah!!!
Popa’s answer sounds right, I think…
sg- I think that would depend on what he said in the sentence before that he was transitioning from.
Maybe she was dumb?
Maybe the paper contradicts what you see?
don’t bother. it probably doesn’t matter to remember all the details. It was just a reason why they may have used the word, “but” even if it wasn’t a negative intent.
I once slipped on my wife’s sheitel on the newly waxed kitchen floor and it became a WYSIWYG.
I would think it means he’s real. He doesn’t make believe he’s something that he’s not.
But really, it’s impossible for us to know what the person meant. You need to ask that person what they meant.
I think the “but” does say he meant it negatively. Again, ask that person or ask someone else who knows the boy. Don’t ask us. Nobody over here can possibly know.
“WYSIWYG”
I think that’s an ad for a gitten shop
If everything else sounds good about this boy and the only thing holding you back is this “but”, then skip over it for now and finish the rest of the sentence. Go out with the boy and see if what you see is what you want to get! It cant hurt to go out… b’hatzlacha!
Oh, I thought I invented Notepad coding.
streekgeek:
I thought you knew my style already. If you’re from the other class of (deep) thought, I’ll spell it out: I.t.(space)w.a.s.(space) a.(space)j.o.k.e.(period)
“But” meant that there was no need to describe him when you could just look.
Well maybe you should see and not ask us. It could be he is fat or overly skinny or very tall or short or has a distinct look. Really you should call this person up and say “I dedicated a whole thread in the cr to your ridiculously vague and derogatory sounding comment of wysiwyg so please elaborate.”
Whew!!! Still here?!?
It’s been ages!!!!
If you’re still … then Daven, Daven and then … Daven.
HaShem has the answer.. He has the Right One. Sometimes it takes Tefilos… Remember, HaShem DESIRES the Tefillos of the righteous. He wants more of a connection, reliance, feeling of dependence.. לטוב לך.
