The phrase is Cellar Door. It's from the movie Donnie Darko, which is one of my favorites.

i wouldnt consider it profanity, but slang,,,, and i guess it depends the context they are using it in would define it as really bad  slang or not,, "oh crap i hit my toe", is different then   "i have to take a crap", it does stand for shit,,, like heck stands for hell,,,,,i would discourage my child from using it,\n\nps: i think right here is a example that people dont take it too seriously, crap and hell didnt get censored, but the 4 letter word starting with a s that crap stands for , did , lol

I think he means "living"\n\nDespite the cost of living, _living_ remains popular.\n\nSounds like a case of wit to me... a foreign language not spoken by the yahoo answers crowd...

I think the actual quote is "Stupid is as Stupid does."\n\nOnce you put the "as" in there it is much more obvious that the phrase means our stupidity is defined by our actions.

Ask, 'Would the other soldier tell me this door leads to freedom?'\n\nIf the answer is yes, then it is the other door. If no, then that is the correct door.\n\nExplanation (sort of): say guard A, by door A (which leads to death), tells the truth and guard B lies; you ask A. B lies, so would tell you yes, A does lead to freedom. So guard A would truthfully tell you that B would say yes. Do you see the logic? I am not brilliant at explaining it, but trust me, it is right!

Well in my opinion that is a false statement. \n\nFirst of all IF your spelling is incorrect and should be "nobody".  This example is only the way one person is living, therefore can not be assumed for everybody else.  And if it is spelled correctly and is to mean "no body" then it is still false.  Yes your body lives for yourself it doesn't live for some Tom or Joe down the street....they have their own body that lives for them.\n\nSecond this boy in the example did live for himself.  Did somebody make him capable to feed himself and his parents?  No he did it for himself, granted yes with the help of others, but he didn't have to become capable he could have led another way and been very opposite from that.  Same idea with his marriage, children, looking after parents, etc., he didn't have to do these things he did them for himself because he wanted to do them that way.  He wanted to get married for himself he didn't have to, he wanted to have children for his own personal reasons, he didn't have to do it for anybody else, etc.  \n\nYou become who you are make your own decisions and live for yourself.  Yes with the help, guidance, encouragement, etc. of others and others may be part of your life (kids, wife...) but in the end it was all done that way for yourself not for anybody else and you chose to have the kids, wife... in your life it didn't have to be that way.  Also as you say "gone" I don't think I feel the same way.  I may have "passed on" but I will not be "gone"!  I still exist in memories of those that knew me and we will meet again when they pass on...  in a place I call heaven!\n\nHope that makes sense and isn't confusing, but that is how I feel about the statement.

I actually asked a teacher about this and also a professor who lectures on Shakespear so now you got this:\n\nNo matter how you intend to use the words, the true expression is definitley “as well." They are always two words, despite the fact that many people seem to think it should be spelled “aswell.” \n\nExamples: “I don’t like plastic trees as well as real ones for Christmas.” “Now that we’ve opened our stockings, let’s open our other presents as well.”\n\n"as well" is used to emphasise the following:\n\n1. Besides\n\n2. Too, \n\n3. Also\n\n4. Likewise\n\nOk, u heard it from the true source. Now she can't argue with you, as well as debating it till she's blue in the face.

You leave your house with a loaded gun...  You are on your way to kill Bob.  On your way there, you accidentally hit a pedestrian and kill him... As it turns out, It was Bob!\n\nMurder?\n\nPremeditation?\nIntent?\n\nYou were intending on killing him, and he is now dead at your hand!

One interpretation would be \nKeeping Everything Completely F*'d Up\n\nOr it might be\nCrikey! Everything's Completely F*'d Up.\n\nHowever, I don't think it's in usage as commonly as SNAFU.

The term is actually a reference to the size of a grave... 8 feet long, and 6 feet deep... hence it refers to something being "dead."\n\nIn the restaurant biz, and many other contexts, when someone says "86" something, it means that they've run out, or they want to stop it, etc.

It makes no sense, I speak spanish. The translation could be something like "I love the bullets killed" that would be literally but there is a syntax error.\n\nWhere did you here it? What's the context?

The semicolon should be later, as in:\n\nPhysical beauty: with disease it fades; with age it dies.
