What They Really Mean...

...when a reporter or anchor says something came "all the way from" and the place is in North America...what they're really saying is
"I haven't traveled much, so I think Canada or Mexico or California is far away."

    What about "all the way from the bathroom"?

    I may or may not contribute.

    Of course, it's equally inane to use it whether or not one is well-traveled.

    Consider, for example, if someone were to come "'half the way' from" somewhere.

    Exactly how would that work?
