haha thank you very much jess!! i like the way i talk to! keeps ppl laughin at my retardedness!!

um...what is an idiom?? you people are way too smart for me! hehe

for the second time...we are all dorks in here!!

 

[Afraid_of_Fish]

an idiom is like a saying that doesnt translate right. like "Sacre Bleu" in french means "Sacred Blue" but what it really means is "oh my God". like that. lol.

 

[amazingbiologirl]

oooo...that sounds complicated! is that sorta like false cognates?...but not lol

 

[Afraid_of_Fish]

not really, they're just expressions. like how you can say "Holy ****!!" but if u translated that to german it wouldnt make sense, get it?

 

[amazingbiologirl]

oo yeah now i get it!! still weird...but i get it! lol

 

[baltimoron]

yeah- things like, "well, the cat's outta the bag now!" and "How do you do?"

 

[Afraid_of_Fish]

err.. last one was a little.. descriptive. lol. but yeah, you get the idea.

 

[amazingbiologirl]

hahaha yeah i get it....has ne1 read of mice and men? we are readin it in english

 

[Afraid_of_Fish]

nope. the 7th graders read it at my school.

 

[baltimoron]

that doesn't say anythign though. Its timeless. YOu can read it at any age.

Same with my favourite book of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird. Its just soo good on many levels.
