PE 10/21 Caroline Tries Her Martial Arts

Okay, but don’t overdo it this time. I’m not in the mood for another face-plant into the carpet.

* overdo: to do to excess; cook too long

ex> Express emotions when you perform, but don’t overdo it.

* face-plant: a sudden, face-first fall

ex> Did you see that goalie do a face-plant after missing the ball?

Note> This is commonly used in the world of sports. But for Kristen, it happened on the stairs. She tripped and fell flat on her face. Ouch!

* Uncle! : Said to admit defeat

ex> Uncle! Wow - you’ve really become good at wrestling!

I must be a glutton for punishment, but okay. That was actually kind of fun. Just don’t go blabbing to Colin Fortney that you can do that, okay?

* glutton for punishment: one who is eager to do difficult or unpleasant things

ex> Tim must be a glutton for punishment: he’s going to run the marathon again.

* go blabbing to someone: to eagerly reveal information to someone

ex> I stopped telling her my secrets because she always goes blabbing to Brenda.

ex> We have to be certain that Bill won’t go blabbing to the press if we tell him.

* keep mum: to not reveal a secret

ex> Let's keep mum about the trip until the kids are finished school for the year.

@ I want to try it out on someone bigger than me.  그거 나보다 큰 누군가에게 시험 삼아 해 보고 싶어.
