Most of the time, my husband is MUCH smarter than me. Every now and then...
The other night we were talking about the presidential election and Ryan said,
"For all intensive purposes..."
"For all intensive purposes..."
I replied, "Did you mean to say, For all intents and purposes?"
Which lead us to a little debate, which lead him to google it.
The results: (found at Urban Dictionary.com)
Nonsense, it means nothing. It's what people say when they really mean to say "for all intents and purposes".
1. For all intents and purposes = Correct
1. For all intents and purposes = Correct
Apparently, Ryan's not the only one.
