What does a person mean when they say "They got the vapors"?
"The vapors" was a catch-all name for many different "female conditions" during the Victorian Era. These included hysteria, mania, clinical depression, fainting, mood swings, and what we refer to now as PMS and bipolar disorder. The vapors were attributed to the practice of wearing corsets, the poor diet of wealthy Victorian socialites (anemia was common), and the belief that a sickly woman trying to recuperate was viewed as desirable. Of course, when the fairer sex were overcome with the vapors, they would have their fainting couch nearby to regain their composure.
What does a person mean when they say "you wreck me"?
An interesting turn of phrase. Much like the phrase “you’re so bad,” “shut up” or “she tore it up”.. these phrases have multiple meanings to me depending on how they are used.If someone said “you wrecked me,” in the past tense, I interpret it to mean that I’ve hurt or “ruined” them.If someone says “you wreck me,” in the present tense, I interpret it to mean that I’ve made them laugh or surprised them.Even in those cases, who says it, how, and the context can easily change that meaning.

What does "said person" or "said thing" mean?
Said person refers to an aforementioned person. It is not the kind of thing that is normally used in conversational speech, though it could be used tongue in cheek, or perhaps in an elevated or legal diction. I've used it in writing humor, when referring back to a ponderous description of someone, or perhaps pretending anonymity. It's a very stuffy term and quite easy to poke fun at. In legal documents, "said person" would be a tool so you didn't have to keep referring back to "said parties" or to keep the persons involved in the contract from having to sign their name 123 times in the course of one document. example: " Said person shall pay said probation fee once each month during such time as said person remains on supervised probation." http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/276-8...
What does it mean when someone says you have a big personality?
First of all, it doesn't mean anything when someone gives you their opinion. They may be accurate or they may not be. Your example would suggest he thought you were outgoing and/or very friendly. But what he actually meant would depend on what "big personality" meant to him. It could be something positive or negative. If you really want to know what someone means when they use an expression like that, just ask them. Most will clarify their comment and you would have a better idea if it was "good" or "bad". Also, notice their body language: were they smiling or frowning, relaxed or tense? What was their tone of voice? You can usually tell if someone is paying you a compliment or being sarcastic by noticing these things. A big personality (versus a small personality) would likely be a positive thing, though. He probably thinks you're interesting or he wouldn't have commented at all :)
If a person said "I love you" when he was drunk, did he really mean it? Did he forget "what he said when he was drunk", when he was normal?
It really depends on the circumstances. How drunk was the person? Are they a raging alcoholic? Are they a social drinker who just happened to have a few too many? Were they drunk to the point of being in a blackout state?Furthermore, when the person said, “I love you,” is this something they had said to you before? Is this a sentiment that they’ve relayed to you in the past? Because if it is, it’s probably just drunk talk. If it isn’t, it might be that the alcohol allowed them to say something they’ve wanted to say. That it required them to be drunk is another matter altogether, obviously, but as I've heard it said, “A drunk man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts,” and I agree with that.As to whether or not they remember it—if they were in a blackout state, then no, probably not. If they were simply tipsy and in their tipsiness acted more drunk than they actually were, which does happen; intoxication can cause a heightened and false sense of inebriation; (high school kids on one wine cooler aren’t as drunk as they might act), in such instances, they probably do remember it.Intoxicated people do have a tendency to run their mouths, so it really is hard to tell in this scenario. The “I love you, man….” is a common trope for the drunk, and if they carried on and on repeating it, I wouldn’t put much stock in it. But if this was an “I love you” came across in a romantic manner from someone who wasn’t babbling on and on, then it’s quite possible they did mean it. It might have been the case that their drunken behavior may have been a catalyst for them saying something they were otherwise too nervous to say. Best thing to do is wait until the next day, when they’ve sobered up, and have a conversation—not a judgmental or an angry one, as drinker’s remorse is real and should be taken into consideration—and try to clarify what they meant when they said what they said.Good luck trying to figure it out.
