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.
