people who say

"the better part of"

when they mean "almost".

quote: "we transferred the better part of 1,000 people, including their belongings."

i'm asking myself, what about the parts that weren't transferred? where'd they end up? and how did they separate the better parts from the worse parts? who decided which were best?

oh, wait... you mean you transferred almost 1,000 people, including their belongings. i get it now.

:)
