PE 10/6 Long-distance Bicycle Tour

Let’s pull over here for a break. I’m pooped!
* pooped: exhausted, tired, wiped out
ex> When my family finally arrived at my grandparents’ place, we were pooped from the 10 hour drive.
Note> To “poop,” means (of a wave) to break over the stern of a ship, sometimes causing ti to capsize.

I’m so glad you twisted my arm and convinced me to go on this long distance bike trip with you. I’m having fun and getting in shape!
* twist one’s arm: to persuade someone to do something against their will (often used sarcastically when offered a good opportunity)
ex> You don’t have to twist my arm to get me to go with you.
ex> Jenny felt like she always had to twist her kids’ arms to make them take a bath.

My GPS says we've done 30 miles so far. And we still have about 14 more to go before we reach the campground for the night.
* so far: at the point currently reached
ex> So far this fall, the weather has been very pleasant.

I’m game if you’re game! We can get there in about 90 minutes if we don’t waste any more time.
* be game: to be willing to do or try something new
ex> Tom was game to try new things, even at risk of hurting himself.
ex> Even at 80 years old, my grandfather was always game for a new challenge.

By the way, I have your credit card, so I’ll just charge the room to you. You’ll find me in the indoor swimming pool!
* by the way: incidentally
ex> By the way, you still owe me money for last month’s rent.
