I think bullet proof is only part of the urban legend piece of the story. It says security glass and snopes did not use the term bullet proof either.

To also explain a part of the American tax system… people who are super excited to get a ton of money back on their taxes via refunds are complete idiots.

That’s a direct function of paying too much withholding and not calibrating against their relevant deductions. Some of these people also feel that their tax burden has gone up if their refund is smaller from one year to the next, which may or may not be accurate.

But that’s one where they’re leaning much closer to the Dutch pronunciation

Electricity is pretty consumable

And as an English expression for when you have a penchant for dropping things: “I have two left hands”

No, the death penalty increasing violence is about incentives.

If I shoot someone dead and you are the only witness, I have a choice to make. If I do not want to be executed, killing you is the best chance for escaping punishment.
