Same Difference?

OK can someone please explain to me what "same difference" means? its grammitically wrong surely? (Is grammitically a word?) Surely we should say "no difference"?

no difference is the correct way to say it and is quicker to say?

No difference is the boring way to say it.

so it's more exciting to NOT make sence?--That makes sense

The pharse 'same difference' makes sense if comparing something like a quantity, the difference bettween 1 pint and 2 pints is the same as the difference between 3 and 4 pints, i.e. 1 pint.

I think that how the pharse is normally used is wrong and either 'same thing' or 'no difference' would be right in those cases...

If you cared to look into the english language you would soon find out how it doesn't follow clear rules. There is no proper or correct english. Don't believe everything you were taught in school.
