- As a native English speaker, I have never heard of loose skin for a human being referred to as "baggy", but I have heard "baggy skin" being used for Elephants and Rhinoceroses.I would advise against using the term "baggy" to refer to skin, as it may be outdated.It would sound more natural so say "wrinkled" or "wrinkly" skin for loose skin, not baggy.Sometimes people might say they have eye bags, or under-eye bags which sounds similar. This means a hollow or puffy/swollen under eye area from lack of sleep (same area as "dark circles").I hope that helps!0 votedJune 8, 20200
- When the woman says "GET IN!" it is a cry of joy. She does this because she must be from Belfast, too. She is cheering for her home's representation. It's very Northern, and might be used in response to good news. Your child got top scores in an exam ? GET IN! Your favourite sports team won ? GET IN! When David Walliams says "Get into who, darling ?" he's being sarcastically comedic, or "sassy". He pretends not to know what it means, because it wouldn't be very upper class to know Northern slang. You see, "getting in" to someone implies s*xual penetration. Obviously she doesn't mean anything s*xual by her cry of joy. I hope this helps!0 votedJune 8, 20201

- Both are correct sentences, however they mean different things. I don't know how long your semesters are, but let's pretend they're 3 months long for my explanation. 1 = I don't have classes for 3 months, starting now. 2 = I don't have classes for 3 months, from the semester's starting date. In addition, neither of these sound quite as native and colloquial as something like "Next semester my classes are online", or "All my classes are online next semester". EDIT: You could also say "I have online classes until [date]". That sounds much more natural.0 votedJune 8, 20201
- You can use the phrase "Nice to meet you" for all of those scenarios ! It is most commonly used in this scenario: When meeting someone for the FIRST time, at the end of the FIRST conversation. The second most common use is saying "Hi, it's nice to meet you", at the START of the FIRST conversation with a new person. This is more formal, and used with important people such as when meeting a new boss/employer, or as a polite greeting of someone personally important like a sibling's fiance. You do not have to say this at the end of the first conversation with a new acquaintance/friend, but it is considered polite to do so. You should NOT say this if you have met them before (because it will seem like you don't remember them). You SHOULD say this to important people when meeting them for the first time (for example, meeting a new boss/employer) even if you weren't happy to meet them. If you want to express that you were happy to meet someone for a second or third time, you would say "(it was) Nice seeing you (again)!", or "Nice talking again!", "Nice catching up!". Hope this helps. :)0 votedMay 25, 20200
- If you're VERY close, harsh words are more acceptable (such as b*tch and b*stard, or some racist ones if permission is given). Unless it's said to you first, don't use the word c*nt. It's one of the worst ones. Some insults change severity and usage frequency based on region (Scotland, Ireland, and Northern England are known to use insults more commonly, and in a friendlier way). My Irish friends are "Gobshites" (they're cheeky and rude. Gob = mouth, shite = fecal matter), and I tease my Welsh friends for being "Sheepshaggers" (it's an old, racist joke about Welsh people having sex with sheep- which they obviously don't). Australians and New Zealanders also tend to have a few swearword insults that are acceptable in friend circles - If you're unsure, listen to the ones your friends use most and what context they're in. Softer swearwords and insults include: Douche or Douchebag (full of sh*t), Git (rude man), Minger (unhygienic person), Sod (cheeky man), Ass/Arse (human bottom), Bugger (like f*cker, but softer), Prick (penis), Twat (vagina), D*ckhead, Muppet (silly/foolish), Nerd (geeky, smart but not very socially skilled), Turd (fecal matter). Some words can be VERY soft and used by children, but this means they may be taken more seriously when used by adults, as they are not outlandish. These include: Jerk, Creep, Cretin, Coward, Freak, Flake, Liar, Loser, Weirdo. Insults to do with intelligence (because this is usually something said when laughing after someone does something silly): Doofus, Dunce, Dolt, Idiot, Retard, Moron. Do NOT use these on someone with a disability affecting this (like someone with Autism). It is important not to use insults that are racial slurs, or about sexuality and gender. Some people may also be sensitive to insults about being overweight or other physical attributes. Again, when in doubt, check which ones your friends use commonly and follow suit. Hope that helps, and sorry for all the swearing !0 votedMay 18, 20200
