PE 12/23 I Need the Newest Smartphone!

You are flat broke. You spent everything on new video games.
* flat broke: having no money at all
ex> Shirley wanted to go on a backpacking trip with her friends, but she was flat broke and couldn't even buy a plane ticket.

That ship has sailed, Wes,. I ordered your gift a month ago and, I might add, I spent a fortune on it.
* that ship has sailed: an opportunity that has already passed
ex> It's a little late to turn in your application for the manager position. That ship has sailed.

I don't want to be the troglodyte who's still carrying around an early-2013 model.
* troglodyte [|trɑ:glədaɪt] : a cave dweller; a person who doesn't embrace technology
ex> My father is such a troglodyte that he doesn't even have an email address.

When you get a job and live in the real world you will see how unrealistic you are being.
* the real world: the demanding and often disappointing life of adults
ex> Many college graduates find the real world so stressful that they go back to school for their master's or another bachelor's

You'll have to wait until the 25th, but I promise you won't be disappointed in the least.
* in the least: not at all
Don't worry, I wasn't offended in the least. I have come to terms with the fact that I am bald.
