YOU WOULD THINK ...

I'd like to take the time to share this little piece of wisdom from a my dad's good friend Kenny.

Nothing good will come on the end of a sentence that starts with the words:

" YOU WOULD THINK ..."

It's similar to "WHAT HAD HAPPEN WAS ..." in that manner.

This expression is used to heighten the patronizing and condescending attitude of the speaker.

"YOU WOULD THINK that after driving in Miami for over 30 years she would know not to take the Palmetto at this hour!"
