“Oh my gosh!!! This teacher is a total windbag. He just talks and talks and won’t stop!!”
Slang of the day: windbag
Meaning: Someone who won’t stop talking and is rather boring.
Usage: My dad is a windbag when it comes to talking about fishing.
Dialog:
Professor McHenry – So as I was saying the blue piece actually connects to the red piece and then you look at the purple piece and….
Dawn whispering to Sam – Wow, who would’ve thought that rocket science could be so boring?
Sam whispering back to Dawn – I know. This prof is a complete windbag. Here’s hoping the semester passes quickly!
Wow, one’s more you teach us a great new slang.
I know some windbags!
Thank you Yvonne
I know this might not be the right place to ask you some questions. However, please could you explain me the meaning of “SCORE”! ? I often read it in your tweets.
Also I would like more examples of “I get my act together”.
I’m sorry but you are the person who explains pretty well.
Bettina, This is a great place for questions like this! Score means something like I scored a point in the game of life. 🙂 I mentioned my daughter liked to wash dishes and taught my son how to do it. So, that to me, is a point scored in the game of life or simply “score!”
For your other question: I woke up late this morning. I couldn’t get out of bed. The kids didn’t want to get dressed. Everyone was hungry and needed to eat breakfast. Finally, I bucked up and got my act together and made breakfast. It means that I got organized and finally accomplished what I needed to do.
I hope that helps!
