Water doesn't get thrown away it gets poured in a drain.

@SteelHands I can always tell when a person has given a lot of thought to their reply.

@ProfessorPlum
Absolutely, though your sarcasm is so very nuanced I can barely tell it's there.
Truly, it's a psyche manipulator phrase meant to appeal to emotions for the purpose of inhibiting taking action when calculating or announcing a increase loss of a continuing investment scenario decision.
Well chum, I've been hearing that one off and on for over a half century. Still sounds as blatantly obvious now as it ever did and probably was one of Bernie Madoff's favorites.
Lots of people say you gotta play the hand your dealt, especially shady dealers and great bluffers. Yet still there will always be poker players that think they can match Bobby Fischer.

@SteelHands "Nuanced." I like that. It's a power word.

@ProfessorPlum Again with that sissy sarcasm.
Keep it up if you're trying to get me to conclude you wouldn't know power from puta, you're succeeding well.
Quit while you still have some hope of retaining a particle of self illusion about your intellectual prowess.

@SteelHands Prowess. Give me a second to look that one up.
SteelHands · 61-69, M
@ProfessorPlum Prowess: Observable superiority in verbal , physical, moral, or other qualified trait under scruitiny.

@SteelHands I would have summed it n one word: Skillfulness.
SteelHands · 61-69, M
@ProfessorPlum Skill is practiced agility, accuracy and coordination of person to carry out mental and physical tasks.
Prowess is the immensity of the creative thought to rise to a challenge.
You shouldn't let the distinction confuse you since by today's literary guides our historical language is apparently 'too wordy' for them to bother to learn properly. So is also beyond their intellectual depth to teach anyone.
I did warn you not to keep nit picking. Maybe you should consider reading some old books. There are plenty of contextual comparisons you could make to throw off that horrible education you were duped by.
