We came here for a little R&R, not to lose our heads
about imaginary bears. And there aren't any lions on this entire continent
except in zoos.
* R&R:
rest and relaxation
ex> After this busy week at work, I
need a little R&R!
cf> “R&R” can mean the following
different things:
Read & Review (in publishing)
Rest & Recuperation (in military)
Rescue & Resuscitation (in surf
lifesaving)
* lose
one’s head: to no longer have control over one’s reactions to things
= lose one’s minds; go crazy; flip over
ex> I lost my head when my
brother told me he crashed my car.
Give me the flashlight, Rex. I’m going
to put an end to this silliness
right now. If there were a bear outside, we would have smelled it before we
heard it.
* put
an end to: to cause something to stop happening
ex> The sales manager put an end
to employees making personal phone calls while at work.
I've been roughing it in the wilderness since I was a little girl. And I’m
sure we followed all the procedures for keeping wildlife away from the
campsite.
* rough
it: to go into a wild area without any provisions, like a tent
ex> My friend and I roughed it
on our trip to Europe this summer.
Well, it’ll give you a fighting chance,
and maybe give me time to run away while you’re screaming bloody murder.
* scream
bloody murder: to yell as though someone were being killed
ex> The woman screamed bloody
murder when the man tried to steal her purse.
ex> It sounded like someone was screaming
bloody murder, but it was only a howling cat.
