Do you sometimes have a hard time understanding what Americans
are talking about
among themselves? Do you want to know why? The answer is,
Americans are crazy about using
slang. They tend to overdo it, though.
Otherwise, slang is fun to use. You should try it. And some
slang is easy to
understand. For example, if someone is "off the hook,"
it means that he is no longer in
trouble. The "hook" is a fish hook. If a fish is
on the hook,of course, it is in trouble.
If it is "off the hook," then it is out of danger.
Didn't we tell you slang is fun?
Besides, it should at least help you feel more at home and
not like a fish out of water
when you speak to Americans.
