    As an extreme optimist the glass is always half full even when it's half empty

    Those that say their glasses are half-full are considered optimists. Yeah, but shouldn't we be more specific about the contents of the glass? If it's a glass of shít, I'm going half-empty. I don't like shít as an optimist. "Yeah, we gotta half-empty shít glass right here."

    The glass is always fully full! You did not specify what it is full of!

    My glass is half full of water, the other half is full of air!:D

    Yeah, maybe the person who says it's half empty is the optimist? That old chestnut was always a bit of a grey area for me...

    A glass is half full if you take an empty glass and only fill it to half of it's capacity. A glass is half empty if you have filled it to capacity and then removed half the contents.

    Your question is half decent, because I'm an optimist.

    Geek answer: The glass is always completely full unless it's in a vacuum. It's filled with air/liquid etc.

    Technically speaking, the glass is always full, because half of it is filled by either water or alcohol, but you're forgetting the air molecules that is present which gives off the optical illusion that either the glass is half empty or half full.... :P

    Sober. Half full- oh well it's closing time.

    it depends whether the glass was in the process of being filled or emptied prior to the question being asked
