Problems in Translation Today, I was stumbled by a phrase and a word in my translation. I have searched for them for almost an hour. “Don’t Lay Out” is a mnemonic device for “Do Lots of Omega 3s,” which can be found in SWaWB (Salmon, Walnuts, and Weird Bread). And what does the phrase "Lay Out" mean here and 'WEIRD BREAD" refer to? Please help me.

Don't lay out = 不要攤开. Weird bread can mean anything or nothing. It is just unusual so that you can remember the mnemonic and its meaning easily.

Thanks for your response. This sentence is from a book named Bossypants written by Tina Fey. And this is about skin care.

"Don't Lay Out" most likely refers to Don't lay out in the sun aka, don't sunbathe. "Weird bread" probably just means any bread that isn't common. Most people in America eat wheat or white bread, so "weird bread" might be something like 9 grain bread. I am not sure where you got these phrases, but they are a bit unusual.
