...that it was supposed to be wisecrack from the beginning, and now he's laughing at both of you, mwac for going to all that trouble to give a lesson on American slang only because he himself didn't get the American slang, and you for somehow thinking it was a misunderstanding. I thought it was an obvious play on words to begin with. But then, I also thought "boysball" was an obvious play on words, yet someone actually "corrected" me and told me that it's called "baseball" where he's from. ;) (No, BTW, not "busy as a pussy". That doesn't make sense, and mwac didn't say "busy as a beaver", he said "busy little beaver", that's why the joke worked. Just think about it, okay? I'm sure you'll sort it out...) |
