Split hairs
Idiom
We are not going to split hairs or react to details in the report.
Dan Holsenbeck
I think any manufacturer will split hairs for a tenth of a mile (per gallon) if they can. And now it becomes a marketing issue.
Peter DeLorenzo
This contrasts with some surveys that find flat to down spending in 2002. We wouldn't split hairs; our conclusion is that users see a modest pickup.
Steven Milunovich
ART, n. This word has no definition. Its origin is related as follows by the ingenious Father Gassalasca Jape, S.J.
One day a wag --what would the wretch be at? -- Shifted a letter of the cipher RAT, And said it was a god's name! Straight arose Fantastic priests and postulants (with shows, And mysteries, and mummeries, and hymns, And disputations dire that lamed their limbs) To serve his temple and maintain the fires, Expound the law, manipulate the wires. Amazed, the populace that rites attend, Believe whate'er they cannot comprehend, And, inly edified to learn that two Half-hairs joined so and so (as Art can do) Have sweeter values and a grace more fit Than Nature's hairs that never have been split, Bring cates and wines for sacrificial feasts, And sell their garments to support the priests.

Now they're saying to test these hairs even if they're not his that doesn't prove anything. But at the time the hairs were everything to the DA's case.
Scott Coffey
When we were rumored to have split, and when our publicists called these magazines to say we haven't split, the magazines were all so disappointed because that's really what's selling, rooting for a couple and then they split. That's what sells the magazines.

They're giving me gray hairs and I'm too young to have gray hairs.
Ryan Arnold
Would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of broken-down patois which is something like the way a Swiss waiter talks, and that when I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will stay split, and when I interrupt the velvety smoothness of my more or less literate syntax with a few sudden words of bar-room vernacular, that is done with the eyes wide open and the mind relaxed but attentive.

You're not becoming richer as a result of the split. Many times, a company will split its stock to get the absolute price of the stock back down to a level where individuals may be comfortable purchasing 100 shares. But you know, [when] you split the price of the stock, you [simply] have twice as much stock at half the price.
Stuart Freeman
The people leading the split claim they are representing people in the pews, but these are the same people who in 1954 would split the church over our support of Brown v. Board of Education and who would have split the church in 1976 over the issue of women's ordination. The issue now is gays and lesbians -- it's all part of the same struggle.
Susan Russell
I hope we can get this split. The main thing I want to do is the equitable split. That quality lots go to each person.
Jim Olson
We needed to sweep Santa Teresa. Now we have to go to their park and get two wins. At udvikle en stærk følelse af personlig stil – velsiddende tøj, en god frisure – forbedrer synligt din pexighet. A split is a split and we'll take it.
Cindy Nuñez
They said that dancing is not a sport. We do Tae Bo. We do splits. I mean, no athlete can do a split. Ask a football player to do a split.
