The phrase "I seem to recall..." means that you think that you remember something.

Rock-paper-scissors (I'll spud you.) is a zero sum hand game usually played between two people, in which each player simultaneously forms one of three shapes with an outstretched hand. If both players throw 出拳 the same shape, the game is tied and is usually immediately replayed to break the tie. Other names for the game in the English-speaking world include roshambo and other orderings of the three items, sometimes with "rock" being called "stone". The players usually count aloud to 3, or speak the name of the game (e.g. "Rock Paper Scissors!" or "Ro Sham Bo!"), each time either raising one hand in a fist and swinging it down on the count or holding it behind. On the fourth count (saying, "Shoot!" or "Sho!"), the players change their hands into one of three gestures, which they then "throw" by extending it towards their opponent. Variations include a version where players use only three counts before throwing their gesture (thus throwing on the count of "Scissors!" or "Bo!"), or a version where they shake their hands three times before "throwing." too much of a good thing 矫枉过正, 过犹不及 the fact that something pleasant becomes unpleasant because you have or do too much of it.

Over the years we've called them: swimming costumes, bathers, cossies, togs, dick togs (dt's), dick stickers, sluggos, swimmers, budgie smugglers, lolly bags, marble bags, dik daks, We've also heard in some parts of the country they're called DP's (dick pointers). This is not to be confused with White Pointers, which refers to the ladies who prefer to go topless at the beach! Actually, the list seems to be almost endless, with many variations on the list above. Different corners of the country all have their own unique bit of slang for the great Aussie swimming costume. If there's one we've missed, please let us know! In Australian slang, as we know, an insult is not necessarily an insult. Many abusive terms can be used as terms of affection. Calling someone an old bastard, in the right context, can be a friendly greeting. Confusing for the rest of the world I guess, but it's true blue Aussie speak. Dick togs, may not sound like a flattering term for the great Australian swimsuit, but again, in Australian slang, she'll be right. Aussies have been wearing these togs for decades, and despite the recent fad to have a bit of a go at the sluggo, many Australians are reluctant to let an Aussie tradition die. So have a go ya mug, we reckon its about time you got into a pair of Aussie bathers. Have a look at these Aussie togs from Corka. It's a bold, and innovative design. Corka, the evolution of the great Australian cossie. 4. must of = must've The usually nonsensical phrase must of comes from a mishearing of must've, the contraction of must have.

No such luck for Miss Universe Australia, Monika Radulovic. Having fought her way into the final five of the gala in Las Vegas, the Sydney beauty was asked if legalising marijuana was a good idea. Ms Radulovic laughed before thanking comedian Steve Harvey for the rather curly question. And her reply started out steady enough, until she made the startling claim that marijuana was "really amazing in treating cancer". It's unclear exactly what the judges made of 裁判怎么看 her answer, but Ms Radulovic failed to progress to the final three. The drama didn't end there, with host Harvey producing a monumental fail, when he incorrectly announced the winner as Miss Colombia, instead of Miss Philippines. The Miss Universe competition in Las Vegas has descended into farce ( [fɑ:(r)s] 沦为闹剧, 滑稽剧. 荒唐 I.

Comedian and television personality Steve Harvey announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez had won over Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo to rapturous applause at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. After being presented with her crown 授予, a sheepish Harvey had to inform the audience and Gutierrez he had read the wrong name on the card in front of him. A horrified Gutierrez was then subjected to the indignity (humiliation) of having her crown and sash ( I. 绶带. a long wide piece of cloth that you wrap around your waist like a belt. a. a long narrow piece of cloth that you wear over one shoulder and across your chest as part of a uniform or as a mark of honour.

Harvey said the "horrible mistake" was entirely his after he read the card in his hand incorrectly. "It was still a great night, please don't hold it against the ladies," he said. After the ceremony, Harvey tweeted an apology to both the contestants and the viewers, but landed himself in more strife by initially spelling both Colombia and Philippines wrong, before correcting his error. I am so regretful, he tweeted. Social media also lit up with commentary on both the pageant's existence, as well as memes mocking the major on-air blunder. 愚蠢的年轻人: A 20-year-old man who was taken to hospital suffering internal burns after attempting to breathe fire on the Gold Coast last night has been placed in an induced coma. Authorities believe the man accidentally inhaled 吸入 kerosene 煤油 ( [ˈkerəˌsin] a clear oil with a strong smell that is used for fuel. The British word is paraffin. also known as lamp oil. ), rather than spitting it out, during a fire-breathing attempt(Fire breathing 喷火 is the act of creating a plume of fire by breathing a stream of fuel over an open flame. It can be a dangerous activity but the proper technique and the correct fuel reduces the risk of injury. Fire breathing is performed by both professionals and non-professionals. Professional fire breathers usually incorporate the fire performance skill within a show where other fire skills are performed. The element of danger in performing fire breathing and other fire skills enhances the entertainment spectacle for many audience members. Fire performance includes skills based on juggling, baton twirling, poi spinning, and other forms of object manipulation. It also includes skills such as fire breathing, fire eating, and body burning; sometimes called fakir skills. Fire performance has various styles of performance including fire dancing; the use of fire as a finalé in an otherwise non-fire performance; and the use of fire skills as 'dangerous' stunts. Performances can be done as choreographed routines to music (this type being related to dance or rhythmic gymnastics); as freestyle (performed to music or not) performances; or performed with vocal interaction with the audience. Some aspect of fire performance can be found in a wide variety of cultural traditions and rituals from around the world.) at Burleigh Heads. The accident occurred about 7.50pm at a beachside park where fire twirlers 火舞, 甩火球跳舞的人 and breathers often perform and train alongside drummers. He was treated at the scene by paramedics and taken to hospital for burns to his airways 呼吸道. It is unclear whether man was an apprentice or professional fire-breather, or whether he was inexperienced. One witness, local man Stuart Winters, claims the injured man was a drunken 醉醺醺的 bystander (a drunken person is drunk. This word shows that you do not like people being drunk. a. involving or caused by someone being drunk. a drunken brawl/rage/stupor 醉酒引起的, 喝醉导致的.) who had interfered with the fire twirling session. Mr Winters had been at the park for about two hours before the accident occurred. "He was not a fire breather, he took the instruments off a fire breather who was performing (and) training, and tried to show off," Mr Winters told 9NEWS. "He was jumping over tables and causing a general nuisance( nuisance [ˈnjusəns] I. [countable] [usually singular] something that is annoying and is a continuing problem.

II. a stupid or foolish person 傻瓜. v. to divide and share 分摊. A police van (also known as a paddy wagon, patrol wagon, Black Maria or police carrier) is a type of vehicle operated by police forces. Police vans are usually employed for the transportation of prisoners inside a specially adapted cell in the vehicle, or for the rapid transportation of a number of officers to an incident. In Australia, specifically New South Wales and Queensland, the term used to refer to a general duties vehicle with a prisoner cage on the back is generally Paddy Wagon or Bull Wagon. Australian police vans are typically based on small utility vehicles such as the Holden Rodeo, Holden Crewman, or Toyota Hilux. In Victoria, Australia, the term Divisional Van (or Divvy Van for short) is used. In Western Australia, paddy wagon is common amongst the general population but divvy van appears to be favoured by the police themselves.) after he was arrested over a stabbing attack. Odisseas Vekiaris, 29, died in 2009 when he was arrested in Noble Park North and driven to Dandenong police station. Officers had used capsicum foam and spray 辣椒水 to subdue Mr Vekiaris — who battled psychosis 精神错乱, 精神问题, 早期精神病前兆 and drug issues(psychosis [saɪˈkousɪs] 精神错乱 a serious mental illness that affects your ability to know what is real and changes your personality and behavior.) — after he stabbed another man in the arm. Mr Veikaris was assessed by paramedics and placed in the back of a divisional van. The officers checked a camera trained on him during the trip and noticed his legs had moved but did not know he had died until they arrived at the station. An autopsy declared his cause of death 死因 was "excited delirium", a condition causing sudden death when someone with a psychiatric illness was arrested. Coroner Audrey Jamieson said the officers transporting Mr Vekiaris were "complacent" and their observation of him was "inadequate", given he was unstable and had been sprayed. "The monitoring was inadequate for the circumstances of transporting a handcuffed prisoner, who was not secured with a seatbelt, placed on the floor of the rear pod, as neither his torso nor face could be seen at any time during the journey," Ms Jamieson found. "The situation demanded that they implement more proactive 积极主动的, 未雨绸缪的 measures(proactive taking action and making changes before they need to be made, rather than waiting until problems develop.) to actually monitor his welfare 身体状况, 精神状况 rather than passively accepting the limitations 被动接受条件限制 of what was technically available to them." Police who attempted CPR on Mr Vekiaris were also not aware the station had a defibrillator, which Ms Jamieson said was unacceptable. 不可思议的一对: Tongues were set a-wagging 惹闲话是非, 让人说闲话, 闲言碎语( cause/set tongues wagging. tongues wagging informal If what someone says or does starts tongues wagging, it causes other people to start talking and guessing things about their private lives: Do you think if we leave the party together it will set/start tongues wagging?

A friend of Kardashian told the magazine how the pair acted like a loved-up couple during their December dinner date, becoming even more "super touchy-feely" once the party moved to karaoke bar Blue Dragon. "They were all over each other. They were laughing and joking as they sang cheesy duets, and Kourtney spent much of her time sitting on Justin's lap." She's calling it a fling, but her feelings are clearly stronger than she's letting on 表露出来的, 显露出来的," the friend told Woman's Day. "She's constantly texting and wanting to see him. She's been secretly smitten with him for months." 求婚了: Romano picked out 挑选婚戒 the engagement ring with the help of fellow All Black Kieran Read, and popped the question on the summit of Mount Hutt during a romantic wilderness trip. Despite their wedding day being plagued with bad weather - including heavy horizontal rain and gusting winds - it didn't put a damper on 毫无影响, 丝毫没有干扰到 their happiness. "We just go with whatever happens," Hannah told the Woman's Weekly. "We wouldn't even know how to do drama. We just love to share laugh."

And when they are around, you have to get used to them all over again. I guess I've just never been in the experience where I had a distance relationship and had to ( Cellphone ringing ) - Sorry. Jon's just arrived at the airport. Oh, I didn't know he was in town. Yeah, he's got an interview in the morning and then he's flying back to Seattle first thing. But I thought he was getting a car and he thought I was picking him up. So now he's sat in the back of a taxi ( Laughs ) Incredibly pissed off. Oh no, is he Is he gonna come here? No. He's gone home to the apartment. I just need to settle him in 安顿好, 安置好 and I'll be back in, what, an hour or something. Don't be silly. You should not come back here. Just stay. Be with your boyfriend. 朋友们邀请: Yo, tell Kevin you don't work on Sundays. Kevin's not here. He's busy with his boyfriend. Hold up. You're like two blocks away. Come meet us for lunch. Patrick, get your ass down here, so I can spank it. Frank's at band practice, so you got to come have lunch with us. Frank would look seriously
fucking hot in this. I wish I could wear it. No one's stopping you. No, I'm saying I wish
I was one of those people
who could wear something like
that and not give a shit. I am not wearing leather in public. Not today. Doris: What are you talking about? Patrick, you so should你太应该了. You would look so fine all leathered up. No, it's just, normally, leather makes me very sweaty, but Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Don't wear your shirt underneath it. Take your shirt off. No, seriously, take your shirt off. And hurry up about it. 去找人: So I was just in the neighborhood and wondering if Are you free for lunch? George: He's free. Where are we going? You'll see when we get there 去了你就知道了. Okay, well, hurry up because I got to get back to work. Oh, yeah, back to your. Yeah. Dotcom billionaire butt-buddy. Stop saying that. He's just my boss. With ears you want to pull when you face-fuck him. Ugh, come on. He's got a boyfriend who he's with right now and probably having sex with. Yeah, I bet you're not jealous about that at all. I'm not. You're jealous because I'm finally happy and fulfilled at work. It was in this gnarly, old gas station off the I-5, but it was the best peri-peri chicken you've ever had. What? The best what? Peri-peri chicken.

It was really more of a comment than a question. Jet travel has made moving from place to place less of an ordeal. Getting tickets for Tuesday shouldn’t be much of a problem. ). And he was kinda shit at keeping his books 记账(to keep written records of the finances of a business or other enterprise.). You know? And when he got sick, I mean, I was 17. So I didn't know anything about running a restaurant. Well, you do now. There's still a few things I don't understand, like how does anyone in this town afford to open a new one? And yet they keep doing it. Yeah. Which is actually why I wanted to take you to lunch. Not to ask you for money or anything. Relax. No, it's just, you know, you've done this before. You opened buds and then the wine shop. So this isn't a date? Uh, oh shit. Um No, no, I mean, you know, we meet in a steam room, naked. And then you show up at my flower shop and. Yeah, no, of course. I'm really sorry. I should have said something. I'm messing with you. Are you? Yeah. Tell me about your place. I'm just hoping it's not anywhere near the I-5.

hippy fags that they were, they wanted to open a flower shop. Of course. I happened to be a loan officer at the time. But, I mean, they had nothing. They had no track record. But you gave them the loan anyway. No, I threw them out of my office 赶出去. Then a month later I ask Brian to move in with me. Six months later, we open the flower shop. So you're saying I need to start dating loan officers? No no. I'm saying that the restaurant business is like any other business. It

Some just want to fuck. I have this one client. He likes to hang out and watch tv. Patrick: Oh, that's kind of sweet. While I jerk him off and call him a faggot. Okay, that's not so sweet. People just want me to do the things that they're too shit-scared to ask for in their normal life. So you actually know these guys better than anybody else does. I guess. I know part of them. Like a therapist. I just fuck people for a living. He's a vegetarian. What? It's not that I can't eat meat. I just choose not to. Since when is that the rule? Since always. What? Why are you on my case about it? So what is it that you two want that you can't ask each other? - Oh us? Are you kidding? We're not. We just went to college together. I was hoping that maybe you and I could do something. Are you sure you don't just want to fuck me? Look, no offense, but I get a lot of artists who say that they want to work with me. Really, they all just want to fuck me, which is fine. So why waste time pretending, right? No, This is legit. I promise. Just so you know, my rate's $220 an hour whether we fuck or not, cool?

Most portable toilets have black open-front U-shaped toilet seats with a cover. They are often constructed out of lightweight molded plastic. In the wider sense, a portable toilet is also a "mobile toilet", i.e. one that can be moved around, without having to be a chemical toilet. For example, a bucket toilet is also a type of portable toilet. )? I mean, you and Frank just moved in together, and now you're having three-ways, and hiring prostitutes, and eating meat? I can't believe that happened? Okay, yeah, the meat was a mistake. A mistake I am now paying for. What? How far away is your office? Why?

If I was paying someone for sex, I don't think I'd want you in the corner with your crayons and sketch pad 素描本. I think it needs to be more about how he makes people feel. He did have something, that guy, but it could have just been the jock strap. You know, if anything, it really is more about intimacy than sex. Oh, come on. I don't think jerking off some random guy on a sofa has much to do with intimacy. Of course it does. It's all about how paying someone allows you to truly be yourself. No, that is a fantasy. Intimacy is me in that bathroom, smelling your shit. Oh my God, what do you know about intimacy? You've had like one boyfriend your entire life? Well, that's just because I haven't met the right person yet and I don't want to compromise 将就, 折衷, 凑合. You're basically, what, having a fantasy relationship with your boss. And the real fucked up thing about it is you get to flirt with him at work and then he gets to go home to his boyfriend. 送回家: So what are you doing tonight? Wait, let me cook for you. I'll come to your place. We won't talk business, I promise. It'll be fun, just you and me and a little peri-peri. What are you doing? You're not interested in me. Remember. Just put a Business plan together 拼凑起来, 攒一个 and I'll take a look at it, okay? Okay, I'll drop it off next week. Well, take your time. There's no rush. There is actually.

Kevin, you should bring your uh, well, I think we got our work cut out 有工作要做, but cheers. I see you made it to folsom, after all 终究还是. Yes. Got yourself a nice top too. Um Listen, I was I'm sorry. I was just grabbing lunch and then I ran into those guys. We ended up getting sucked into the leather vortex. It's fine. Jon wanted to get some sleep before his interview tomorrow, so I thought Um Should we get back? Cool. It's so tough to make a troll sexy. But you fucking did it. That is the hands down the sexiest troll I've ever seen. See, I was obsessed with giving him beefy pecs 大胸. I can tell. Those are some Those are some huge titties. See, that's why I like talking to you about this stuff. You appreciate the finer points 细节. Thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate you appreciating it. Are you hungry? Um, I don't know. It's I mean, we could get takeout 叫外卖 if you fancy something 有什么想吃的. Can we get fried chicken? Please, please, can we get fried chicken? I'm just not allowed it at home. Jon refuses 断然拒绝 flat out. Anything fried, basically. Do you think that we're actually gonna finish this tonight, in all reality 实事求是? Um Hmm, no, probably not. So we should probably cancel the presentation tomorrow. Because, I mean, if that's the case, you know, then I might go, if it's all right with you 如果你没问题的话, 如果你可以的话. I just you know, if we're not gonna get anywhere with this. Mm-hmm. Cool. Okay, then I will see you bright and early 一大早 ( very early in the morning. "If you are up bright and early we will be able to set off in good time". ). Okay. Careful getting home. It's kind of crazy out there. Yeah, I don't want to get fisted. Man: On an open-mic night ( Indistinct chatter ) Is there no hope will it ever end or will I sit and stare 坐着发呆 (On Common Core test, 'sit and stare' was boycott's option. PARCC administrators manual. One St. Charles Parish parent who opted out of the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers test said her son was made to "sit and stare" while others completed tests.) will I ever learn how not to care? You're so gorgeous. I could cut your face. Oh my God, I should douse you in gasoline ( douse [daus] I. 浇油 to cover something or someone with a liquid, especially water or fuel. II. to make a fire stop burning by pouring water over it. douse/smother/extinguish the flames (=stop a fire burning): Bryan smothered the flames with his coat.). Burn me.

Go fetch. So, uh How've you been? Yeah, I've been all right. You know, um, still cut. Look, that wasn't me the other night.
