I commented on Stack Overflow, and someone replied "that's too fine" to me.
What does this sentence mean?
Best Answer
It appears like they were trying to say "that is fine too" or, in other words, "that is also an acceptable way of doing it".
If they really meant "that's too fine" (which I really doubt), it would mean something like:
that way of doing it is too satisfactory
That is just nonsensical. It is most likely a typo or a non-native English speaker. Looking at their other answers/comments, it would appear they are from a non-Enligh speaking country. See this other example:
where the brackets are needed
That is out of order, and should be: "where are the brackets needed?" That isn't the kind of mistake a lazy native speaker would make.
In a very different context, it could be understood as a compliment. But that is only for urban slang, and it only refers to attractiveness of another person (or body part).
That booty is too fine.
I feel embarrassed just typing that, but I figured you should know it could be said. That is definitely not what that user was trying to say though. That's just some trivia.
It doesn't mean it's an important thing; in fact it's sort of the opposite. What Ronan means is that he wished they learned more than "a bit", but he's glad they're at least learning something. He might have said instead "Well, that's better than nothing."
This is generally used when you wish something more/better than what is happening were possible, but are accepting what you can get. For example:
Jim: "Did you get everything we needed for the party? Sally really wanted those special crackers she likes."
Mary: "They didn't have those, but I did find paper plates with unicorns on them!"
Jim: "Well, that's something. Sally does like unicorns."
Wherein Jim really wishes Mary had gotten the crackers, but is pleased that at least something Sally likes will be present.
I'm not quite sure, but it seems it's about "forming a neat stack of corpses".
Of course in the context given it's all spoken figuratively - "carnage", "chitlins", "eviscerating", that's all metaphors - everything in the mentioned text is about politics: ruining careers, compromising reputation, costing fortunes.
In this context, it's a tongue-in-cheek use of a really psychopathic expression that might be used by a mass-murderer might say, in context of politics: how a whole lot of people lose all significance, dead to the world of politics - and for the one who caused this, their only redeeming value is that "they stack neatly" meaning now that they are out of politics they don't cause any other trouble.
