It’s hard to believe it’s only June and
it’s already sweltering outside!
* sweltering:
very hot weather
ex> The desert is known to be sweltering
during the day and extremely cold at night.
I hope this isn't a sign of things to
come this summer. I don’t know if I could stomach
three or four months of this!
* stomach:
to tolerate something
ex> I don’t think I could stomach
sitting through another pointless meeting this week.
Note> Aside from being a vital
organ, stomach (noun) also means an appetite for food and drink.
ex> I don’t have the stomach
to eat anything right now.
You say that every year. You’re starting
to sound like a broken record.
* broken
record: someone who repeats him/herself over and over
ex> My five-year-old son is like a broken
record when he decides he wants something.
This time I mean it. Look at this
catalogue. We can get an above-ground pool installed by next week and it won’t
be too expensive.
You've got a point, but I already looked
into it. We would be on a waiting list forever and a day!
* forever
and a day: a very long time
= for an eternity; for a really long
time; forever and ever
ex> After forever and a day,
we finally got our tax refund back from the government.
Maybe we should just get his-and-hers inflatable baby pools and
try again next year.
* his-and-hers:
a matching pair of a thing for a couple
ex> The teenagers wore his-and-hers
sweatshirts to school.
