Bob Marley sang, “No woman, no cry.”
Trump says, “No English, no drive.”
Yesterday, I asked you to interpret this headline:
“Trump administration threatens to yank state funds over truckers’ English proficiency.”
Thank you for your replies on the blog.
Here, “yank” means “to revoke”, “to cancel” or “to stop.”
So you could say, “Trump Will Stop Giving Money To States who Give Driving Licenses To Truckers Who Don’t Know English.”
That’s nice.
But the important question is, Will it fit on a baseball cap?
MASEA? (Make America Speak English Again)
MTSEA? (Make Truckers Speak English Again)
MEGA? (Make English Great Again?)
Let me know your size and I’ll send you your cap.
FORGOTTEN CONVERSATION WORD #3
What happened to spring?
It’s chilly in Prague this week!
Yesterday we had a high of 51.
I guess no picnics in the park this weekend.
Maybe I’ll just chill at home.
CHILL
What does this common word mean?
And how can you use it?
Let me know in the comments.
And we’ll talk about it on Thursday.
TOMORROW: Super-Useful Forgotten Conversation Word #4
Cheers,
Mr. Vig
chill=hot
Chil, I think it means “relax and take it easy “
I have just heard chilly related to the weather.
Nowadays in Spain teenagers use the word “chill” as a slang. They speak Spanish but “chill” to say they are relaxed at someone ´s place taking beers, for example.
