Wow, it’s hot today! What do you say we walk down to
Circular Quay and enjoy the fresh sea breeze?
* what do you say…?: a way of asking if
someone agrees to do something
ex> What do you say we move
the bookshelf to the corner and put the sofa in the middle of the room?
How about taking a ferry across the
harbor to the Sydney Zoo? Does that work
for you?
* Does that work for you?: Is that an
acceptable option?
ex> Tell me if this works for you:
two-week vacation in the summer and two weeks in the winter.
Look at the line for ferry tickets.
There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell
we’ll get tickets for the next two or three boats.
* a snowball’s chance in hell: a very
unlikely event
ex> There’s not a snowball’s
chance in hell that your favorite team will win the championships.
I guess we’re walking across the bridge after all.
* after all: anyway; despite what has
been, done, or planned
ex> We aren't going to the beach after
all – my car won’t start!
Come on. You’ll be right as rain after some excuse. I’ll race you to the other side!
Haha!
* right as rain: in very good physical
condition
ex> I've been drinking fresh juice
for a month straight and I feel right as rain.
