"minus well" for "might as well"

“This is my first Martial arts moveset project, which I had been working on since ‘07. The main purpose of this project is to see what it would be like if Nico Robin (My favourite One Piece character) were a full-fledged master of Rokushiki. I’d figure that I minus well share this with the rest of the DA community. I’ll be updating this every now and then when I get the chance.”

Re: "minus well" for "might as well"

So does minus well mean something like “not entirely well” and does the perp get from that to “might well (but don’t have to)’” ? Or how do you see it working?

Welcome to the forum, bm. (Do you attack baroque cobras? (Do I fit that category?))

Re: "minus well" for "might as well"

Yup, I think you’ve probably got it. It puzzled me for a while, but eventually I reached the same conclusion as you.

I would probably attack a baroque cobra if I ever met one, but everyone on the early music scene seems to be extraordinarily nice, at least here in the UK.
