I’m not just getting a nose job. I’m
getting a chin implant, my cheekbones changed, my eyes done, and the corners of
my mouth turned up so I’m always smiling a little.
What prompted this decision? I mean, you
aren't some plain Jane and you never
lack for guys asking you out on dates.
* plain Jane: a female who is neither
beautiful nor ugly
ex> My mother was a plain Jane
as a child, but grew up to be a beautiful woman.
Well, my mom thinks it’s a good idea so
I can land a rich man, plus the
women in the magazines and on TV are so much prettier.
* land: to catch; end up with something
ex> After hours on the boat, Kristen
finally landed a fish.
ex> When Rodney went out to the
nightclub, his main goal was to land a date.
It’s a safe bet that the women in magazines aren't real, Rhonda. They
manipulate the pictures to make them taller or thinner.
* a safe bet: a low risk gamble
ex> It’s a safe bet that
another bus will arrive shortly.
They want to make you feel insecure so
you’ll buy more of their products. Will you at least sleep on it for a week before you make a decision that will affect
the rest of your life?
* sleep on it: to wait for some time
before making a decision
ex> Your offer is very good, but I’d
like to sleep on it before making my decision.
Okay. I’ll put it off for a week and talk it over with a few more friends.
Thanks for being so concerned, Travis.
* put it off: to delay something
ex> If you keep putting it off,
someone else will ask Julia out on a date.
