What is the meaning of the phrase "I want a marriage, not a wedding."? I can’t understand this point.
MARRIAGE= lifelong commitment to another personWEDDING=event that does not usually last longer than a day where marriage is started.Some people tend to want to get married just because it is an opportunity to have a big event where all the attention will be on them. People dream of their wedding day since they were little, and it tends to become like a fairytale event rather than the start of your life as a married man/woman.In other words, in their priorities, the wedding comes first and the relationship aspect (getting married) comes second.I may be wrong, but this could be the reason why there are so many divorces. Many hopeful brides and grooms jump into getting married, only to then fall out of love after the reception is over.Hope that helps!
Where did the phrase "inquiring minds want to know" come from?
"Inquiring minds want to know" originally came from E. F. Hutton (Stock Brokers) commercials on TV. Probably as early as the late 70's. They were funny, too. You'd see these two business types in the middle of a crowd and one of them would say, "Well, my broker is E. F. Hutton, and he says..." and, in the next scene, you'd see the whole crowd stop in their tracks and look over at the guys, straining to hear what he'd say. Then, the commercial would end with "Inquiring minds want to know" across the screen.Screw National Enquirer - they stole it.Oracle · 1 year ago
I want to know what british people mean when you say the phrase "right proper"?
I've never heard that in the UK, but, I have heard it in Newfoundland. It means totally correct - even a little better than that. Like, just right, but, extra. Like ordering a brownie, and getting ice cream on the side. Sort of. Or, if someone offered to wash your clothes for you, they dried them, ironed, them, and folded them up for you to, doing it "right proper."
Which word is correct? If you want to know the exact meaning of this word, you have to tell me a full/complete/whole sentence?
Part of the problem is in your question, in that you don’t make it clear that a word’s meaning may change depending on how it is used in a sentence. Using it in a sentence doesn’t give the word an “exact” meaning: it demonstrates one of the possible meanings of the word when put in a specific context. Another way to say this would be that the way the word is used in a sentence illustrates (or demonstrates) one of several potential meanings/interpretations of that word. A word that has more than one definition does not have one “exact” meaning that can only be understood by using it in a sentence: it has two or more potential meanings/interpretations depending on how it is used in a sentence or phrase. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a full/whole/complete sentence: it just needs to put the word in context so that the listener/reader can understand what is meant.For example, take the word “face”, which can be either a noun or a verb, with some variations of meaning in either case. You can illustrate the meaning(s) of the noun by saying, for example,“You have a beautiful face”, “He is a bald-faced (or “bold-faced”) liar”, etc. For the verb, you might say, “It’s time to face the music” or “Face up to your responsibilities”. It can even become an adjective, as in “face time” or “Facebook”.One of the factors that makes learning English difficult for many people is that it has so many idioms (phrases/expressions that use words in ways other than their standard definitions). This isn’t limited to English, but English seems to lend itself to multiple meanings/interpretations, partly because it has borrowed words from many other languages and also because (to the best of my knowledge) there is no specific authority that determines whether or not a word will become part of the English language: and the coining and addition to our vocabulary of new words has only increased in the age of computers and mass media.
What is the meaning of the phrase "You can't have the cake and eat it too."?
The expression is actually: You can’t eat your cake and have it too.Literally, it means that once you have eaten your cake, you can no longer hold it in your hand (to eat later or do something else with it) — it’s essentially gone once it has been eaten.Metaphorically, it’s a way of saying: You can’t have it both ways.You can’t spend your money on a piece of candy and still have your money to for a carnival ride.You can’t be a part of the problem AND a part of the solution.It’s saying: You have to make a choice. It’s a true dichotomy. There’s no middle ground. Either this way or that way. Not both. No compromise.
