Freddies English Teaching Course


Recommended Posts

Okies I liked seeing the thread on English and lots of MFCers dont have English as their first language

 

This thread is for me / us / the MFC to help you :thumb_yello:

 

Feel free to ask questions about phrases or slang or general sentances that you see and we will try and help

 

I do see that "slang" english catches people out so we will try and answer

 

English speakers feel free to help

Ha, weird English idioms.

 

One I like is "(to) hit the nail on the head." It means, to get something exactly right.

 

PERSON A: Wow, Freddiesdouble is so mega awesome!

PERSON B: Yup, you hit the nail on the head with that one!

Another one I hear is "the coolest thing since sliced bread."

 

It implies that pre-sliced bread, as opposed to having to slice it yourself, is one of THE coolest things ever - only, whatever else you're referring to is even cooler.

 

"Guys, did you hear that Freddiesdouble just spent a year's pay on a Porsche?"

 

"Ha, that's the coolest thing since sliced bread."

Jibe .. well thats to have a humourous dig at somebody ... ., example .. mika should really stop cancelling tours ... its not nasty or hurtful , its just a jibe ...

 

Definate ... thats means for certain ... we will see Mika live for definate! .. example

 

Crassly ... well to be crass is to be rude and overt ..... , you are sooo crass!
