The funny thing about halves

When you say "I'm half kidding", you actually mean (or at least you sound like you mean) that you're more serious than you are kidding.

When someone says, "I'm only half serious", it sounds like you're not serious at all.

But when you say "The glass is half full" you're being optimisitc, "half empty" you're resigned about things.

So which half is it more?

It's like "half a hole". It doesn't exist. :)
