He's a performer, so he's a /WE®.

How about "none of the above"? I've always heard it called "splash guard".

Nihil obstat® so far.

The phrase is Latin, meaning, "nothing hinders" or "nothing stands in the way."
Earendel trademarked the Bored phrase for use in the transcript threads as a more elegant way of saying "I knew all of these." 8)

Thank you very much for this. It was interesting to read the history behind the phrase as well, so thank you for the link that was included in your explanation.

Marley explained that with graciousness, but I will add. . .

Some of us (well, me, for one) believe that the phrase is pretentious, arrogant, and obnoxious when used in any way except with tongue planted firmly in cheek, as I believe was Nelly's and most folks' current usage.
