PE 8/8 I Can’t Believe You Fall for Every Fashion Trend!

Forgive me for being out of touch, but that is, by far, the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
* out of touch: not familiar with something; out of sync
= not being up-to-date; being in the dark; uninformed
ex> My mother is so out of touch with today’s music that she thinks the Beatles are still touring.
Note> This also means to be no longer in contact or communication.
ex> I’m completely out of touch with most of my friends from high school.
* by far: unquestionably; without peer
ex> This is, by far, the longest vacation I have ever been on.

You just painted a really silly picture. What grown man would walk around looking like a schoolboy or a clown?
* paint a picture: to describe something in such detail, that the person listening can see it in their mind.
ex> The doctor painted a grim picture of the patient’s chances of survival.

I pity you, I really do. If you gave fashion a chance, your mind would be opened up to a whole new world.
* give something/someone a chance: to try something different; not make a judgment about something too quickly
ex> Don’t say you don’t like something before you try it. You have to give it a chance first.
Note> If you give someone a “second” chance, you give him another chance to earn your trust.

The lifespan of fashion trends is very short these days, which makes them a waste of money. I think I’ll stick to my classic blue jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers, thank you very much!
* stick to: to continue doing/using something that one has been habitually using/doing

ex> The tour guide insisted that everyone stick to the trail and not wander into the forest.
