PE 1/29 Lunch in the Company Cafeteria

I was thinking about eating down in the employee cafeteria. They’re having meat loaf today.

You haven’t the faintest idea about the cafeteria, do you? Come on.
* not have the faintest idea: to be unaware; not know something
 = have no clue about ~; be completely oblivious about ~; be clueless about ~
ex> I know I said I had the scissors right here, but I don’t have the faintest idea where they are now.

You had a preconceived notion about this place. In fact, you’re the only one on our floor who has never been here.
* preconceived notion: a belief based on previous experience or rumor, not on relevant facts
ex> Before I went to a cricket match, I had a preconceived notion about a slow and boring game.

Don’t you feel like you've just hit the jackpot?
* hit the jackpot: to win big; get many good things at once
ex> When I found the old seafood restaurant down the narrow alley, I felt like I had hit the jackpot.

I’ll say! And cast your eyes over there – it’s an ice cream bar!
* I’ll say: to emphasize one’s agreement
ex> A: This story has everything!
    B: I’ll say! I think I saw chainsaws and watermelons.
* cast one’s eyes: to look at something

ex> If you think that Mercedes is nice, cast your eyes on the Ferrari over there!
