Excuses mean nothing (explain nothing.) Excuses, excuses. \nA bridge to nowhere.\nIgnorance of the law is no excuse. \n\nThese are considered proverbs or popular sayings, their origin going back centuries. They are used to illustrate a point. A bridge to nowhere would be used for something that is futile, in other words, why would someone go to the trouble to build a bridge to nowhere?

Existentialist angst--man is adrift in a universe he cannot possibly account for, and yet is accountable in.  Accountable to what?  To forces beyond his control; beyond accountability.  And if that is not enough, accountable to his own conscience: "Between our own thoughts, we are accused or excused."

meaning no substance. \nsimilar to 'lots of sizzle, but no steak'

Not all things come back to you.  Life is not a story book were all the villians are punished.  That said, what may happen is that your deed is remembered and another person will suffer for it, because they won't be trusted.\n\nYou wrote "there is no way I can apologize". You can apologize, but what you are afraid of is that there is no guarentee you will be forgiven.  That's a chance you ought to take, not only for your sake, but for the sake of the person you wronged.\n\nThe word "Forgiveness" comes from a Greek word which means "to let go".  To let go...of the past, the anger, and whatever else is involved.  Perhaps,....just perhaps...you will have a chance to experience what forgiveness means on a deeper level. \n\n Take the chance.  Apologize.

I've forgotten the exact details of the story,but once there was a man who for one reason or another was being unjustly hanged in Dublin.The hangman didn't tie the noose properly and instead of breaking his neck,the man slowly choked,hanging there.His wife begged for him to be released,but the only thing that the cruel judge would allow was for her to pull on his leg,speeding up his choking,and killing him faster.That's where the term comes from.

There was a person who complained and whined about having no shoes. \n\nUntil they met a person, who had no feet.\n\nThanksgiving is a day for being thankful for what you have, not for feeling sorry for yourself for what you do not have. \n\nI have a feeling your question backfired on you.  \n\nDarryl S.

In my opinion he didn't mean it. Instead of apologizing it was a mistake, he said he didn't remember saying it. Some people don't have enough courage to admit. Forget is the easiest excuse which save him from explaining anything. You deserve someone better!

I don't know, but I can guess- it looks like a contraction. Written out with spaces in it, it is 'You no gaw no'- just add an 'n', it becomes 'You no gawn no'; then, 'You no gawn know.' Finally, 'You are not going to know', or 'You will not know (this thing)'.\n\nObviously it's slang- I imagine that you might use if someone asks you a question that you don't want to answer in order to annoy the person asking you.\n\n"What do you have in the bag there?"\n\n"Younogawno, fool!"\n\nThat's the best I can do... I'd be interested if it meant anything very different than that though.

It is a figure of speech.  It means not taking the blame or responsibility for something and pointing your finger "passing the buck" at some one else as the cause of the problem or situation.

The phrase is really,"It's neither here nor there." and what it means is that "it"  isn't relevant to what is going on, or what you are discussing.\n\nLike if you are complaining about your homework not getting done because the computer crashed and won't boot up again, and then your little sister tells you that its not fair that you always get to use the computer and she never does and now you broke it, and....\n\nAnd while that may be a big deal to your sister, at the moment, your problem is that you can't finish your homework now and concerns about who broke it or whether the computer time division is fair or not...all of that is neither here nor there, since you still have to find a computer to get your homework done.

it is probably the only lame excuse he could come up with
