Boys will be boys and they can't read a nice let's get back on topic notice from yours truely... So I will say it again; Back on topic ...Pretty ******* please with sugar on top... (I like this thread) Pig in a poke It has the same meaning as ? kitten i saekken? (cat in a sack). If you didn't check your poke carefully before you buy it, you would later find it didn't contain a pig. Exp : A 50 years old man : ?She's the one for me, we have been chatting for months now. I really want to meet her. I?m going to send her some money for visa and airplane ticket. So she could come and visit me here? His friend : ?Don?t be silly, do you really want to buy a pig in a poke?? A 50 years old man : ?I'll take my chances.?

Ok, how about a vulnerability in something that is otherwise flawlessly perfect. The one thing that can make something/someone fail.

Next; All bark and no bite :wink: Meaning: The Admin...(oh, I'm so going to regret that possibly...probably... :joker: ) Anyhoo, someone talking like a proper tough guy on an internet forum for example who likes nothing more than rip people's heads off to s**t down their necks (to cite a well known Sgt Major in the marines) but turns out be a slight-build bespectacled accountant still living with his mum who starts crying when he has to cut a daisy on his front lawn. Someone who threatens a course of action he/she is clearly not prepared to follow through with (for all to see). Example: *Concerned World Leaders* "Ok Kim, stop playing around with them rockets at once or we'll stop your weekly porn deliveries." *Bespectacled Usurper* nonchalantly making a 2-finger gesture Next: You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very poor so please advice. Thanks, Poor thing "fine line" usually refers to a narrow separation between 2 things. For example, you could say "It's a fine line between drinking regularly and being a drunkard (kii mao)." Although on TF this particular fine line is usually ignored. Also, I guess you mean your English is poor (mai geng), rather than you are poor (yaak jon) :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enchanted Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Next: You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear It is impossible to make something excellent from poor material. Example: To make chairs that'll last, you need good strong pieces of wood. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Oo.Cloud.oO Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 "It's no use crying over spilled milk" One should not worry about things that have happened that one cannot change. Ex.... Economy "He's in the dog house." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchanted Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 "He's in the doghouse." In a situation in which someone is annoyed with you because of something you did and you will have to face some kind of punishment. Based on the idea of being punished like a dog who is forced to stay in a doghouse, away from people Example: The president's aide is in the doghouse over remarks she made to the press.

pandorea Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 People who live in glass houses should not throw stones The Newton?s 3rd law pop up into my mind when I read it ?action is equal and opposite to reaction,? It?s like if you say/do something bad to others, they will/can/might do the same to you. Example : ?Have you gained some weight? You look fatter then we met last time.? A Thai friend greets me at the airport. Me- after looking at her big butt, I say ? sweetheart, you?re living in a glass house, don?t throw stones?
