definition -

“Not for nothing” is used to soften the blow of something that would normally be offensive or come on too strong.

idk how the hell you used it but thats not how I intended so.

I know that a kid just died (i used not for nothing to “soften the blow”) however lots of people in this forum are within that same age and drive way over the speed limit as well… Again, it could of happened to anyone. It sucks, but dont talk about making a stupid decision because im sure you will drive fast this summer as will 90% of others on this forum… I know I will.
