Answer 2

Avatars refer to a concept that is not any different at all from your "real" name as also only concept. This is a spiritual question because, in fact, there is nothing such as a You that exists. The You/Me/I which folks think they are is a linguistic convention for something that exists only in a dualistic consciousness. Importantly and ultimately, there is not a You and Your Life. There is not God except as your dualistic consciousness thinks one up. Knowing this or even just acting as if this were true changes behavior in a positive way. Thinking there is a God usually (not always) results in the worst kind of behavior because of the divisive delusion and ultimate arrogance it is based on. The practice of remembering and reminding one's "self" this is usually called religion in the broadest sense. Kshetra means a field of action and a holy place - sometimes site of a war - which affects consciousness in the way that physics describes reality. The World Trade Center Site in New York is one such Kshetra.

Answer 3

It's an internet meme stemming from lolcats.

They point out the fact that the user of the phrase noticed the pun or joke. Often, even if the pun was too obvious to be missed. You need to see the images with which it captioned to understand it, I guess. =P



..to others, yeah, I guess it makes grammatical sense too.

It's very clear that he's questioning this praticular phrase, which is so common on the internet that it clearly has an actual origin.

Answer 4

It's like "I know what you're getting at" or "I know what you're trying to do."

If someone makes a joke or pun but it's not really funny, someone might say that to acknowledge the joke but to let them know it wasn't funny.

Answer 5

As an internet meme, it started as sarcasm - sort of meant "you think you were being clever; making a real 'inside' joke, but it was actually too obvious to be funny."



-Mr Obvious is obvious.

-I see what you did there.

it means different things depending on the situation. Its not like an expression people say to explain something its just something someone can say and it can mean anything.

Answer 7

It means that the reader is showing he is able to understand the thought processes of the person to whom he is talking. It is usually used ironically, and in electronic exchanges like this one.

Answer 8

Pretty self explanitory, but it depends on the context. Use it in a dialogue? xD
