Make an appointment for a week Hi! In a movie I'm watching a doctor says this to a woman: "Just get this filled. Make an appointment for a week" Saying this the doctor hands over some blank. Most likely it's a prescription. Could you tell me what "make an appointment for a week" means, please? "For a week" doesn't sound right to me. Shouldn't it be "in a week"?

Made famous in a spectacular showing Hello! I started playing a fantasy video game today. This is a description of one of skills the main character can use while holding a shield: "A secret technique that automatically counter-blocks all oncoming attacks for a short time. Made famous in a spectacular showing in the Bullhead Court." I find the word "showing" confusing here. Does it mean that there was a event held to specially demonstrate this technique? Or maybe some knight demonstrated it during a jousting tournament? I just really don't know. Any chance you could help me understand it? Please.

raking snakes over dry, dry cereal Hi! I'm playing a video game where an old fish asks you to find her grandchildren scattered around. She says that "Keeping tabs on the little rascals is like raking snakes over dry, dry cereal." Unfortunately I don't know what she means by that. What is "raking snakes over dry, dry cereal"? Does it make sense to you?

Either myself or my admitting will follow up with you Hi! I was watching the latest take on Invisible-Man yesterday and in one of the scenes a doctor said this to a woman: Either myself or my admitting will follow up with you with the results of the blood test. Okay? Can you just leave a number with the nurse? Is there any chance you could tell me what the doctor means by "my admitting"? I thoroughly looked up the word admit in various dictionaries but still have no idea what "my admitting" could possibly mean here. Could you shed some light on it please?

I ordered it from the TV. Hi. While I was watching an American movie I heard this: Man: It's the Badger Milk. I ordered it from the TV. The man saw a TV ad for the milk and he ordered it. "From the TV" sounds really weird to my ear. Could you tell me why he used the definite article there? He is not talking about the TV set, is he? Thanks in advance.
