PE 5/11 Driving vs. Walking

Hey, we've been working on this ceiling for three hours now and my neck is killing me. Can we take a break?
* killing one: causing one great discomfort
ex> I sent Jenny home early because her back was killing her.

Great idea. We've had our noses to the grindstone all morning. Why don’t we go to that sandwich place just down the way and partake in ta little grub? I’ll drive.
* keep/have one’s nose to the grindstone: to continue working hard
ex> We kept our noses to the grindstone until all the floors were completely clean.
* down the way: Americans are more likely to say “down the road” or “down the street,” but it means the same thing. People will also say “up the road” or “up the way” if they’re referring to something that is uphill.
ex> Is there anything like a toy or stationery store down the way?
* partake: to join in an activity; eat or drink something
ex> Would you like to partake in a game of table tennis after lunch?
ex> The guests can partake in the sandwiches and soft drinks when the speeches are over.
* grub: food (informal)
ex> Everyone on the tour will be much happier once we get some grub into them.

You know, it does feel good to take a stroll after grabbing a bite. My grandfather always used to say that.
* take a stroll: to go for a walk, especially in a relaxed way
ex> The women took a stroll in the park while the men washed the dishes.
* grab a bite: to have a short, informal meal
ex> Let’s grab a bite at the next coffee shop we see.
