English Idioms

Posted on December 27, 2009 at 05:53am

My dad has been in America for a long time, but his understanding of idioms and phrases is still limited.

Me: Frank Sinatra could sing for a long time.
Dad: Yeah, he could really belch it out.
Me: Belch?  What the hell?
Dad: Yeah.

Me: I fucking love Lady Gaga.
Dad: She’s just a flash in the pants.

Dad: He’s butt-naked.
Me: Butt-naked?  Isn’t it buck-naked?
Dad: That doesn’t make any sense.

    I love the "belch it out". and yes, lady gaga is indeed a flash in the pants!
  • Stephanie
    butt-naked is acceptable.
  • sunnivaixchel
    I'm an american, but I have to ask:

    it isn't butt naked?
  • The description of Lady Gaga as a flash in the pants is great considering her horrific fashion sense...
  • Flora
    I'm really disappointed mydadisafob.com has profanity in it, seeming that the concept of funny fobby postings should be family friendly.
  • Forts
    Belch... Belt that's funny.

    No idea about the Lady GaGa.

    But Butt-naked is readily accepted! Even more than buck-naked nowadays.

    A family of FOBs! :D

  • elwood013

  • Robin
