Contents About This Dictionary v Guide to the Use of the Dictionary vii Terms and Symbols ix Dictionary of Common American Phrases 1 Key Word Index 241 This page intentionally left blank About This Dictionary This dictionary is a collection of more than 2,100 everyday sentences and utterances that Americans use over and over in their greetings, good-byes, and everyday small talk. The third edition has been enlarged and updated to include the latest contemporary, high-frequency con- versational idioms. Whereas it is true that there is an infinite number of possible sentences in any language, it is also true that some of those sentences are used repeatedly from day to day. The effective use of language is not in being able to create and understand an infinite number of sentences but in knowing and using the right sentence in the right way in a given context. Nonnative speakers of English have found the first two editions extremely useful for unraveling the short- ened sentences and sentence fragments that they hear in personal encounters, both formal and informal. The kinds of expressions recorded in this collection include com- plete sentences as well as sentence fragments and phrases. In many instances, fragments are punctuated as complete sentences (initial capital letter and terminal punctuation) because such utterances can stand alone just like complete sentences. Phrases and fragments that are always included or imbedded in other sentences do not have initial and terminal punctuation. The utterances here are presented without profanity, swearing, or slang unless the latter is a necessary part of the utterance. Depending, on age, class, context, and personal choice, actual use of these entries may be replete with profanity, swearing, and slang. The style of the typical entry and the examples is highly collo- quial. Many of the examples express joking, anger, and sarcasm. In general, this is not the type of language that one would choose to write, unless one were writing dialogue for a script. It is the type of language that one hears every day and needs to understand, however. This collection is not only a dictionary but also a resource for the learning of these expressions. The user is encouraged not only to use the dictionary as a reference book but also to read it from cover to cover. An index of key words is included that allows the user to find the full form of a phrase by looking up any major word in the phrase. v This page intentionally left blank Guide to the Use of the Dictionary 1. Entry heads are alphabetized word by word. 2. Entry heads appear in boldface type. Cited entry heads appear in this type. 3. An entry head may have one or more alternative forms. The alter- natives are printed in boldface type and are preceded by “and.” Alternative forms are separated by semicolons. 4. Definitions and descriptions are in roman type. Alternative or closely related definitions and paraphrases are separated by semi- colons. 5. A definition or paraphrase may be followed by comments in parentheses. These comments give additional information about the expression, including cautions, notes on origins, or cross- referencing. Each numbered sense can have its own comments. 6. Many expressions have more than one major sense or meaning. These meanings are numbered with boldface numerals. 7. Sometimes a numbered sense will have an additional alternative form that does not belong to the other senses. In such cases the and and the alternative form follow the numeral. 8. The definitions of some entries are preceded by information in square brackets. The information provides a context that narrows down the scope of the definition. E.g., [of truth] undeniable. 9. The first step in finding an expression is to try looking it up in the dictionary. Entries that consist of two or more words are entered in their normal order, such as Act your age! Phrases are never inverted or reordered like age! Act your. 10. The alphabetizing ignores a, an, and the at the beginning of an entry head. Look for expressions beginning with a, an, and the under the second word. vii Guide to the Use of the Dictionary 11. If you do not find the expression you want, or if you cannot decide what the form of the expression you seek is, look up any major word in the expression in the Key Word Index, which begins on page 241. Pick out the expression you want and look it up in the dictionary. viii Terms and Symbols ᮀ (a box) marks the beginning of an example. and indicates that an entry head has one or more variant forms that are the same or similar in meaning as the entry head. catchphrase describes an expression meant to catch attention because of its cleverness or aptness. cliché an expression that is overused and sounds trite. compare to means to consult the entry indicated and look for simi- larities to the entry head containing the “compare to” instruction. entry head is the first word or phrase, in boldface, of an entry; the word or phrase that the definition explains. go to means to turn to the entry indicated. see also means to consult the entry indicated for additional informa- tion or for expressions that are similar in form or meaning to the entry head containing the “see also” instruction. ix This page intentionally left blank A an A for effort recognition for having tried to do something even if it was not successful. ᮀ The plan didn’t work, but I’ll give you an A for effort for trying. ᮀ Bobby played his violin in the concert and got an A for effort. Tom said, “It sounded terrible!” Able to sit up and take (a little) nourishment. Go to (I’m) able to sit up and take (a little) nourishment. About that time. Go to (It’s) about that time. Absolutely! a strong affirmation. ᮀ Mother: Do you want another piece of cake? Child: Absolutely! ᮀ Q: Are you ready to go? A: Absolutely! Absolutely not! a strong denial or refusal. (Compare to Definitely not!) ᮀ Bob: Will you please slip this bottle into your pocket? Bill: Absolutely not! ᮀ Bob: Can I please have the car again tonight? Father: Absolutely not! You can’t have the car every night! Act your age! Behave more maturely! (A rebuke for someone who is acting childish.

  • Witty Songs ©Ted Schaar 2011
    Witty Songs ©Ted Schaar 2011 Several years ago through eBay I bought colored-vinyl versions of The Beatles 1962-1966 (The Red Album) and The Beatles 1967-1970 (The Blue Album) from a major fan named Ed. After I paid, he asked if I would be interested in some bootlegs he had that featured sessions recorded while The Beatles were working on their amazing albums—he was willing to transfer them to CD free of charge. I mentioned in my thank you e-mail that I was old enough to have seen the Beatles when they first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. He replied it was "an honor" to meet someone who saw the Beatles live (Ed was born in 1966). This made me think that although those who watched The Beatles that night were part of a huge television audience—almost 74 million1—it's a set whose numbers have decreased tremendously in the 45 years that have passed. That realization, Ed's comment and generous offer to send the CDs, and the about-the-same-time coincidence of having dinner with a man named Bill who saw the Beatles perform in Milwaukee in the fall of 1964 started a chain of events that led me to write two articles. The first, "A Day in the Center of Beatlemania," is about the band's September 4, 1964, appearance at the Arena in Milwaukee. The seed for the second—this one—was planted after Ed's CDs arrived. These were interesting for their roughness and for the insights they provided into the experimentation that produced musical passages such as the unusual Paul McCartney organ part that opens and becomes the backbone of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds." On one I was hearing works in progress ranging from the acoustic beginning of "All Together Now" to John Lennon performing an early version of "Good Morning, Good Morning" when out of the blue comes Pete Drake, his talking guitar, and the sliding-steel-words: "I'm just a guitar, everybody picks on me." The track is from the bootleg Through Many Years that focuses on George Harrison and Ringo Starr.2 Ed had combined various bootlegs on each of the CDs he sent.

  • The Dead Letter Detective Finds a Clue
    lori brack The Dead Letter Detective Finds a Clue The leaves outside the window each could turn a lock. The bird’s feathers, the pickets of the fence, everything is keys. Purple blooms are each a miniature key scented of marsh- mallow and a little girl’s first perfume—watery lavender in a transparent bottle, a gift from her aunt. The detective imagines feeling the click and turn, hands full of nerve. The family dog digs a hole in garden dirt. The hole, a key too, waits for a key to drop a key that will sprout a key. All the keys, especially the fat bumblebee, have to be tried. volume 2, 2010 1 karen an-hwei lee H U A N G Y U: Y E L L O W R A I N Yellow rain is darker than tea, hue of unrefined olive oil purest though nearly mineral earth, kin root on the other side of ash.

  • Cannibalism and Aztec Human Sacrifice Stephanie Zink May, 2008 a Senior Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Require
    CANNIBALISM AND AZTEC HUMAN SACRIFICE STEPHANIE ZINK MAY, 2008 A SENIOR PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- LA CROSSE Abstract As the nature of Aztec cannibalism is poorly known, this paper examines the extent to which it was practiced and the motives behind it. Using the methodology of documentary research I have determined that the Aztecs did in fact engage in cannibalism, specifically ritual and gustatory cannibalism, however, the extent of it is indefinite. The analysis that I have conducted suggests that, while several hypotheses exist, there is only one that is backed by the evidence: Aztec cannibalism was practiced for religious reasons. In order to better understand this issue, other hypotheses must be examined. 2 Introduction Cannibalism is mostly considered a taboo in western culture, with the exception of sacraments in Christianity, which involve the symbolic eating of the body of Christ and the drinking of Christ’s blood. The general public, in western societies, is disgusted by the thought of humans eating each other, and yet it still seems to fascinate them. Accounts of cannibalism can be found throughout the history of the world from the United States and the Amazon Basin to New Zealand and Indonesia. A few fairly well documented instances of cannibalism include the Aztecs; the Donner Party, a group of pioneers who were trapped while trying to cross the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the winter of 1846-1847; the Uruguayan soccer team that crashed in Chile in 1972 in the Andes Mountains (Hefner, http://www.themystica.com/mystica/articles/c/cannibalism.html).

  • Views in the Formation of Their Identity
    (Not) White: The Autobiography of My Biracial Body by Brittney Blystone A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Brittney Blystone, 2016! !ii Abstract (Not) White: The Autobiography of my Biracial Body combines historical research with creative nonfiction and autobiography. I trace the history of scientific racism from the late 1800s to 1960s, from the American Emancipation to the Civil Rights Movement, from the era of my white great-great- grandmother’s birth to the era of my Filipino mother’s. Rather than arguing or defining races, I play with the structure of historical and scientific research to express and explore my life as a biracial woman in the cultural, political context that surrounds and influences this identity. My thesis aims to reveal scientific racism’s ongoing influence in contrast to my maternal line and my personal experiences. It aims to leave the reader emotionally invested yet unsure of racial categories. Biracial bodies may seem like valid proof against races as strict categories; however, biracial people do not control racial categories—even as it pertains to their privileged/unprivileged body. As with other people of colour, biracial women cannot easily locate their personal history or cultural views in the formation of their identity. Even when biracial people pass as white and receive white privileges, they never receive the privilege of defining themselves, especially contrary to racial profiling. Whiteness can only be bestowed or be withdrawn. Those with privilege over racial categories constantly categorize and re-categorize biracial bodies without considering nonphysical aspects, such as family relationships, community ties, and the biracial person’s relationship to their body.
