That’s a nice sentiment, but did you
have to go overboard?
* go
overboard: to do something in an excessive or exaggerated way
ex> I think the decorator went
overboard with her use of leather.
Either way, I think you should return at least half of what you bought. I don’t
want Christ to turn into a spoiled brat!
* either
way: to suggest that both possible choices are equally good or bad
= At any rate; One way or another; In
any case
ex> It’s your choice, but either
way, you’re going to have to drop one class this semester.
* spoiled
brat: a child whose every whim or wish is provided for; a selfish child
with poor manners
ex> Timmy was a spoiled brat
because his rich grandparents indulged his every desire.
If I did, would you seriously hold a grudge against me for long?
* hold
a grudge: to retain one’s anger for something someone else did in the past
ex> Unlike most young girls, Tabitha
never held a grudge against her peers when they made mean comments.
Don’t
try me! I might not talk to you for a whole hour if
you do!
* don’t
try me: do not test me; do not challenge my decision
ex> Don’t try me! I’m tired
and not in the mood for jokes.
