Respecting everyone, is a good starting point for this world of ours.

COP15
No offense Marina, but it smells like money to me…Money and profit are great things in my opinion, but there’s water on the [Moon] so let’s scuttle this place [Earth] and start over.

Hey, this live-type update is a very cool format though, I just don’t like the topic.
Tissue + Sneeze
Nice piece of teaching Marina, really well done!
Hwk: I try to sneeze honestly with some consideration for anyone around. In the restaurant business you are suppose to sneeze into the inside of your arm were the elbow bends and not your hands. I’ve incorporated that into my sneezing routine–most of the time.
Those Limeys! Plus a little Gymkhana
Yeah, well Shakespeare is full of many surprises, i.e. the first reference to the “jet set” is Shakespeare’s.
We would say ‘kick the shit out of’ not “kicked in the shit”, or ‘that hurt like shit’. Maybe Fat Bastard would say, “kicked in the shitter”; that of course, would mean ass (arse).

But for bollocks, what the hell do I do except get another stamp in my passport show-up and start throwing the word around and see where it gets me…

I got the “balls” part (so to speak), it’s just I don’t really understand the broader usages, significances or (try this) the “nonlinguistic cultural correlate[s]“. (Dictionary.com) I mean, it seems to be used to express disbelief, distain, noncompliance…In the U.S. maybe it’s similar to how we use ’shit’: “Let me count the ways.” (Shakespeare, Sonnet 43)

Hwk: – bollocks – I mean yeah, I kinda understand the word but…really I don’t. I even had the Sex Pistols [album] but that word escapes me.
I got a WRX when they first came to the states–I love it. Then I upgraded to a [souped up] legacy GT, then I even [tricked it out] a bit more; but still, never loved it like the WRX. I’ll never own another Subaru but that’s a whole other story…well, one car was a [lemon] which is not the same as a “limey”–I believe.
