    I have four fairly large tattoos. But not to look a cool guy. Mine are all on the front of my body (why have a tattoo on your back where your never going to see it???) and can all be covered by a T-Shirt. They are for me not for other people to admire. Tattoo's should be for yourself and should never be a spur of the moment thing. Mine are now 14 years old and I love them now as much as i did when I got them. They become a part of you and if you have chosen to get tattoos for the right reasons you will I imagine always love them. The only thing I would never do is get a persons name (with the exception of my child) tattooed on me you never know what your future will hold.

    As a native English speaker this is a very badly worded question. Many of the sentences could have multiple answers. I would not want to confuse you by saying you are right or wrong. for example C) "I will TRY to do something" or as Neal say "I have been Meaning to do something". in both sentences you have an intention to do something. This is a common problem often seen in teaching material especially when learning languages. I'm afraid it is just a poorly constructed question.

    Saucy is still often used in British English in a jovial manner (although it is falling out of favour amongst the younger generation). It is used when someone has done something (made a comment or gesture) mildly sexually rude or flirtatious or an image depicts the same. This is not a bad word and nobody would ever be offended at being called saucy if it was applied correctly. Contrary to Socko's answer a lack of respect would not be inferred (not in modern times anyway)

    this is used to describe when somebody does or says something that upsets another person or many people. It is used when telling someone else what you or someone else did. or as an answer when someone tells you what they or someone else did for example Person A: I told John that I dislike his Girlfriend. It really put the cat among the pigeons or as an answer when someone tells you what they or someone else did Person A: I told John that I dislike his Girlfriend. Person B: Wow I bet that put the cat among the pigeons

    although I won't argue the first two answers here. As a Englishman who uses this phrase often it is used to describe that you heard it first hand (from the person it happened to) NOT second hand. for example : your friend told you he enjoyed the movie he went to see. NOT your friends girlfriend told you that your friend enjoyed the movie he went to see. I hope this explains

    I can only agree with the first two answers here. Whilst they are similar they are not the same. As an Indian yourself you know there are many languages in India and if you understand one you are likely to understand some others through similarity. This is also true of English. American English is an offshoot of original English. The differences are minor but are definitely there . Rightly or wrongly I understand that American English is often taught to students abroad. In my opinion why drink from the sea when you can drink from the pure unpolluted spring.

    Its means "Who would have thought it?" This is a phrase often used by older people. Whilst "woulda'" is not an official English word, rightly or wrongly is perfectly acceptable in spoken (not written) English these days. "woulda'" is even considered as regional dialect when used in spoken English. "Thunk" although little used these days is in the dictionary as a past tense of "think". The phrase as a whole is used when you have been told something that you would not expect to be true. A piece of information that has surprised you.
