    I admittedly know it and have used it at least once. (not often though)

    What's the prize for being old and knowing what this means?
    Lol. I will send you a cookie. What's your favorite kind. 

    or maybe some adult diapers. 
    Seriously though, how old are you? My cousin's wife said this to me the other day and I don't think she's that much older than I am!

    "This is when plans are made to do something or a way of doing things has been established, but then some know it all assfuck has to chime in with his/her bright idea. The consequences and repercussions of said assfuck throwing a monkey wrench into the clockworks is what ruins everything that has been running smoothly otherwise. This then causes confusion much like if a applecart would spill out and apples would roll all over the place in a crowded market."


    ETA: according to Urban Dictionary.

    A box of Thin Mints please. The Girl Scouts here must all be frozen in snow drifts because we never saw any.

    I am late 30s and not yet in need of Depends. Hooray!

    The No option is redundant to the question.

    Haha...I'm loving the use of the term "know it all assfuck". I'll certainly be adding this to my repertoire.

    you're welcome 
    ;)
    just kidding. But I said the same thing.

    I'm more likely to say "throw a monkey wrench in it".

    I'm pretty sure I've heard it used in Corporate Speak. Usually "let's not upset the apple cart".

    "know it all assfuck" is so much better though
