Same difference.... do the brehs know what that means???

From the Idiom section of Free Dictionary.com:

http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/same+difference

Something that you say which means that the difference between two things is not important. IE, They were married for forty years, or was it thirty? Same difference - it was a long time anyway.

In this case there's really no difference between 30 or 40 years in the grand scheme of things.

Eh....that's being a smart ass but it's not really the correct usage of it.

It's meant to be used when two things are the same, or the differences are so small as to be inconsequential. If I say Endris Elbow and you say "nah man, it's Irdis Elba" and I say "same difference"....that's not the same thing at all. That's how a lot of people use it though, humorously.

If it's any consolation most people would just take it as you making a joke. "Same difference" is so commonly misused that people assume it's on purpose for humor.

now if people could start taking my sarcastic humor as a joke. I guess I can be convincing sometimes, but that's supposed to be a part of the humor.

I have the same problem man. A lot of people are programmed by sitcoms. If you say some funny shyt with a straight face they will assume you're serious.

I have a friend who literally CANNOT SENSE SARCASM. He hated me for the first couple years of highschool until I realized he took everything I said seriously. He's gotten a lot better at recognizing it but he never employs it himself. It actually made me become a much less sarcastic person, which I guess in hindsight was a good thing
