Explain this girl to me - what does this mean? Does it mean anything?
I was talking to some friends about our trip to see a Mariners game. One of my friends says "you guys were probably just saying all the bad stuff about me" jokingly - he was to go but stayed home sick. So this girl who I am in love with was sort of listening in, and she says "Oh you guys were probably talking about girls the whole time... Oh, you're talking about me, I'm going to have a heartattack!" or something like that, facetiously. The thing is that she knows I like her (and I think she likes me, but she denies it), but the fact of the matter is, she DOES seriously freak out sometimes when the sparks fly between us. Then she always comes back after awhile and acts like nothing happened. Anyway tonight after she made that comment she sat and looked like she was having a good time but she was real fidgety and then after I looked @her once she started hiccupping which is something she does when she's nervous.But she was still all friendly to me. What do you think she meant?
What does one mean by saying 'words fail me'? explain how these words make sense?
At times, we witness extraordinary events or things which are difficult to explain. When trying to tell others, "words fail me" are used to emphasize the unusual nature of the event. It could be used when trying to describe a beautiful sunrise or sunset, a beautiful woman or handsome man, a magnificent building, and so on. Example: Suppose you had seen a sunset that was very awesome and another person asked you to explain it. You might reply, "It was fantastic! The colors were awesome! Words fail me to explain it."
Could anyone explain me what is meaning of has been done?

Can you explain to me what y=a/x-h + k means and what the letters stand for?
I think you meant to write y= a/(x-h) + k. This equation expresses the dependent variable y as a function of the independenty variable x, where a, h and k are constants (fixed real numbers). The points (x, y) which satisfy this equation form the locus of a rectangular hyperbola in the cartesian plane, which you can think of as a graph with y as the vertical coordinate and x as the horizontal coordinate; this hyperbola has as asymptotes the lines given by x = h and y = k.
How can you best explain what the phrase "you set me up" means?
The term was underworld slang that was derived from theatrical slang. It is an observance or accusation that the person to whom the speaker utters this to has carefully arranged to entrap the speaker so they would be caught in the spotlight, the oft-unwanted center of attention. It could be for a crime they committed, the "set-up" making it clear they are culpable, or a frame-up where they are made to look as though they committed a crime they did not. The "set-up" itself is the plan to lure the victim into the spotlight, often with the use of bait: something that would, as the plan goes, provoke the victim to a single course of action that exposes them.It derives from theatre when one player poses a line of dialogue that "sets-up" the respondent to deliver a crucial, central line, either of humor or drama. In both cases, it is a hidden ploy.
What does "Drive you to drink" mean? Please explain it to me, im a foreigner.?
'Drive you to drink' is what we call an IDIOM. It is one of hundreds of phrases that on the surface say one thing, but often have an underlying meaning also. If someone is really bugging you, nagging you, harassing you to the point of you becoming very irritated and frustrated and sick and tired of it, you would say to that person ' you are driving me to drink', meaning that their attitude and words are making you so uncomfortable that the only thing you can do is go and drink alcohol, enough alcohol to make the pain of this person's nagging have no effect on you. I hope this helps !
Can someone explain to me what Ft-Lbs means?
A ft-lb is a unit of work or energy in the customary English gravitational system; it is the work done or energy expended by a force of 1 pound acting through a distance of 1 foot. It is equal to 1.356 joules. The term foot-pound is also used to designate a unit of torque that is sometimes called the pound-foot to distinguish it from the energy unit. However, this is not the ft-lb that you are referring to. In the case of ballistics, ft-lbs are a unit of measure that tells you what amount of energy is in the bullet. Ft-lbs are a unit just like miles/hour, degrees Celsius, and inches are.

You know what a cassette is, right?They had a magnetic tape, which deteriorated in time.The saying you’re asking about is from the eighties. It’s pretty old, I know.

What does the term “what's understood does not need to be explained” mean?
If you get it, then there is no reason for me to go over exactly what you already know, since it doesn’t help you learn anything more.I believe the word “belabor” helps explain it well. Belabor means to make more work out of a situation than necessary. In this case, the phrase would mean to not belabor an instruction, or to not go over an explanation if it already makes sense.Do I agree with this? Nope. I believe in over-communicating. Sometimes people prefer to get a refresher. It’s a good opportunity to see if everyone is truly on the same page with what they collectively believe to already understand. Otherwise, how would you quickly take note in any potential differences of data?
