What Does "I.E." Mean?

I've always thought this was "in example" because everybody seems to use it in that kind of context all the time. "I hate my job because of all the paper work I have to do i.e. transaction forms, contracts, toilet paper..." But I knew that wasn't right (the "in example" part) and I wanted to clear it up for the faithful readers out there. And anybody else who cares.

Google: What does IE mean. I got the following from answerbag.com in this section:

Directly translated, it means "It is" or "That is".

Generally, it's used to mean "That is to say" or "for example".

However, "for example" is not the correct translation. It is commonly misused/misinterpreted, possibly being thought of as "in example". "For example" should be used as "e.g." (exempli gratia).

So there you have it. Never forget this day when you finally learned what i.e. really means.

I should also mention that I use this blog to create a written record of many of my life questions in the hopes that when I forget the answer to those questions I will have a place to find them. i.e. this blog.

Why is it called the Hurt Locker?

This is a movie that I had watched in theaters with some of my best friends and I really enjoyed it. Then a few months later my dad rented it and we watched it again. But the rental sparked the question in my mind "Why is the title the 'Hurt Locker'?" For me, unless I get hit over the head during the movie through blatant obviousness or the title actually being said in the movie as somebody's line, I pretty much have no chance of figuring out what the title means. So, I googled it.

Google: Why is it called the Hurt Locker. Nothin.... All I got was a wiki page about the movie and some random critics choice articles. So... i refined my search to:

Google: What is a hurt locker. And the answer is... obvious? Thanks to this from Urban Dictionary, a site which never fails to make me feel increasingly stupid at the lack of slang I know, definition for a hurt locker is a period of immense, inescapable physical or emotional pain. So, yeah... pretty obvious, makes sense with the perspective of the movie and basically reassures me that my "deep thinking" skills don't swim farther than the 3 ft. zone in the pool.
