PE 4/18 Packing for the Weekend

You crack me up! We’re going to the beach for three days, not a month. Why do you need so much stuff?
* crack someone up: to make a person laugh or amuse them
ex> It cracks me up how you always seem to appear out of nowhere.
Note> crack “something” up: to crash something; to destroy sth in an accident
ex> The driver cracked the car up in an accident.

I don’t think you understand what us women go through in order to look like a million bucks for you men. I need options when we get there.
* look like a million bucks: to appear very beautiful or handsome
= look drop-dead gorgeous; look like a knockout; look stunning
ex> With a tuxedo and a nice pair of shoes, you’ll look like a million bucks.

Like what? What’s in these monstrous bags?
* monstrous: 말도 안 되는

Don’t be silly. Towels, sun block, bathing suits, three hats, extra sunglasses, more shoes, and a few odds and ends. Where’s your bag?
* odds and ends: miscellaneous items
ex> My top desk drawer is mainly full of odds and ends like paper clips and sticky notes.

I’m all squared away. I just crammed a few things in my computer bag and tossed my sandals in the back seat. Guys can be ready at a moment’s notice.
* squared away: ready; arranged properly
ex> Once you get squared away at your desk, I’ll drop by with some papers for you to fill out.
* at a moment’s notice: with very little warning
ex> A Navy Seal must be ready to go on a mission at a moment’s notice
