I am glad you like it. Since I am on my maternity leave now, I guess I can do something before my due date, only 40 days to go. Ok, I will try to post 2 stories each day which contain useful slangs or idioms. Wish you like them as well.

I do like it. I found somehow quite difficult to understand people's slangs here. I tried to get the meaning once I know it. Good summary! thx!

Awsome. The first time I went to McDonald, I was totally confused by "sunny up". Luckily my BF(my hubby now) is with me. :)

One more. When you say sth. is "on the tip of your tougue", you mean you really know the thing, but cannot remember the name.
