    The term "Pain in the neck." comes from the physical results of a stressful situations. When you are tense, stressed or worried about something the muscles in your shoulders and neck become tense and start hurting. So when you are in a stressful situation you say "It's a pain in my neck" (even if it isn't) to explain just how bad a situation it it. Those are just my thoughts, hope it helps.

    I believe he meant that though they are a business GIANT, in truth everything they make is small. Small enough to fit on a table top. So maybe he means that they might be a giant company but they should still remain small and humble. Just my guess, I hope it helps.

    The definition of morale is: mo·rale Noun: The confidence, enthusiasm, and discipline of a person or group at a particular time. So in this example the police officer quit his job because he had lost his enthusiasm for it. It not longer gave him a good feeling to be a police officer. Maybe because his police station was being under funded by the government to the point where their own police cars where falling apart (that's why he gave out the tickets) and if the government didn't care, it was hard for him to want to be there too. Sorry for the long answer but, I hope it helps.

    If you want them natural I'd go with 1: You've been suckered. 2: You've been taken. or You've been taken in. The suckered is a more direct statement. The taken can me misunderstood. Better to just go with "You've been lied to, or You've been fooled." Hope that helps.

    If someone asks you "Will you go out with me?" They are asking you out on a date. Your reply of "Ok, where?" is the right answer. I do not understand why they would laugh and say never mind when you say "OK" unless they are really shy. I would ask them why they asked and then changed their minds. I think I'd be a little angry too.

    What suppose I say if ... (What would I say ...) If somebody asking me, ''have you have your lunch?'' (If someone asked me, "Have you had lunch?") then what should I say? (then what would I say?) ''Yes, I have my lunch'' or ''Yes, I had my lunch'' (Yes, I have had my lunch.)

    Hello there Implicate means that you are suggesting that someone has done something which, may or may not be true. example. The thief's partner implicated him in the same crime. Involve mean to be part of something. example The bystander did not want to be involved in the accident so they did not help. Explicate (I had to look it up) means "Analyze in order to reveal it's meaning" example the Lawyers explicated the evidence in order to discover who was guilty. (side note: explicated is not a commonly used word in this day and age, unless I suppose you are someone that analyzes things) Evolve means to change into something else. Example: The scientists say that humans evolved from apes. Hope that helps.

    A Real-estate agent is someone that sells houses, so the person that owns the car sells properties. Booth have a few different definitions: 1: they are benchs (also know as banquets) used for seating in restaurants. (here's an example) http://www.kpetersen.com/speakeasybeadboard1.jpg 2: a booth could be a station or small unit where product is being sold, not an actual room but an area designated in a large room like a trade show. (another example) http://www.jama.ca/photos/auto2003/tokyo/i/canada_booth_1.jpg Hope that helps.

    When someone tells you "Don't take my word for it." it usually means they don't think they are completely right so ask other people to confirm the information.

    The only reason I can say for the difference is to create more emphasis on how much you like ... or in this case love the thing or situation. To show excitement. Hope that helps.
