...and definitely avoid "fuckin' blow-ass" if you're trying to be nice about it.

Welcome Razz. That's one hell of an entrance.

It could also mean that you are seeking someone to talk curtly to your husband but you didn't like that guy for the job. Of course, as others have stated, no one is actually going to take that sentence to mean anything other than your first definition. You'd need to perform some mental gymnastics to...

Our resident IT specialist, at work is known as "our Geek". He even refers to himself as a geek. I once made the mistake of calling him "our nerd" and he corrected me...a liitle miffed. Strange breed, those fellows.

I agree with Jim. That's it in a nutshell. You have two choices. One choice is to use 8 colours, the other choice is to use 4 colours. You think that the 4 colour option is best. When you say "4 colours are (the) best", I would expect you are about to tell me which 4 particular colours those are.

Gee Celena, are you sure you don't really mean I have a few questions you want to ask? Since you found my question, you must have found the answers...

Not at all, Steve. It's a compliment on a job well done and, as you say, encouragement to continue doing it well. I can't imagine anyone taking it as rude or patronizing, regarless of their age in relation to you.

Just read this on a blog about the US Open: "Andreescu falls behind love-15 but Andreescu raips a pair of winners and she’s two points from the title." She does what to a pair of winners? Precious little info on that one. The only definitions I could see were a Scottish word for rope or a measure eq...

A juicy burger refers to a burger that is not all dried out. Most of the "juice" is rendered fat (fat=flavour) and a bit of blood. Most of the restaurant burgers you get here in Canada, now, have been cooked to hell because of the (real) fear of E Coli. A few years ago you could order your burger ra...

Theyre using mad as a substitute for very , completely or extremely . Its a slang usage that I first noticed about ten years ago and you are most likely to hear it from a younger person. If youre using mad this way (as an adverb), it should be madly . Compare "He was mad in love" "He was madly in lo...

Not in my neck of the Canadian woods, Steve. I don't think I've ever heard it. In fact, I had to look up sprat to see what is was (besides that guy who couldn't eat fat). I can't think of another saying that conveys that same idea (using something small to gain something much larger). I thought abou...

There are also several variations along the lines of "you are judged by the company you keep" which doesn't mean that your company will judge you but, rather, you will be judged by others based on the company you keep. I think it may be a biblical quote. I suppose it could be used to mean that If yo...

Some, if not all, of those meanings can be implied without using "only" at all...try saying "she told him she loved him", using an emphasis on a different word each time you say it.

Most that spring to mind aren't specific to the situation that you describe. They are more generic terms describing someone being bullied by another person, without regard to their gender or their relationship to each other...badgered, browbeaten, coerced, dominated, intimidated. There are two that ...
