She died and left them high and dry.
* leave sb high and dry

leaving 50 employees high and dry.
Don’t make fun of me just because I got
a little teary-eyed about a sad
story. At least I’m not as cold as ice
like you.
* teary-eyed: crying or on the verge of
tears
ex> I often get teary-eyed
when I read stories about endangered animals.
* as cold as ice: without feeling or
empathy
ex> The dictator was as cold as
ice when he ordered the execution of the prisoners.
I think the whole idea about men always
hiding their feelings and women being hysterical half the time are just outdated stereotypes.
* outdated: 구식의
* stereotype: 고정 관념
When
all is said and done, we’re going to be our true
selves around people we really care about.
* when all is said and done: after
everything is considered; a generalization about what is most important
ex> When all is said and done,
it will be up to the next generation to fix the world’s problems.
And that’s why I love you! You’re so
compassionate to everyone, even actors in a sappy movie.
* sappy: excessively sentimental
ex> My mother and father used to sing
sappy old songs together.
