Breakfast

早餐之嗎，小學生都識啦，可能你會咁講。其實呢個字好得意，佢係由兩個字組成break & fast。fast 係呢度唔係指快，係指唔食野咁解。晚黑要訓覺，成晚長流流唔食野，朝早起身梳洗完梗係要"break" fast食番夠本啦。

Dinner vs Supper

我一路攪唔清楚呢兩個字，今日終於查清楚。

Dinner 係香港人平時講既晚餐，Supper就係係呢個晚餐之後既餐食，即係接近宵夜既意思。Dinner原來又唔只係講係黃昏既餐食，係星期日中午一家人一齊食飯，都可以叫做Sunday Dinner, 不過呢個用法好易令人混淆，已經好少人用。我諗都係叫”Sunday Lunch” make sense 的。

Pollen

無錯，就係花粉。點解講佢呢？因為Melbourne花多樹多，空氣入面既花粉數量比較多，一到乾燥既時節，對花粉敏感既人就會好容易有花粉症（hay fever）。花粉症係中國國內又收做花粉熱，而日本人就叫做枯草熱。詳細解釋可睇下呢度。

Eat/Drink sb under a table

HKiBBS Post 節錄:

"Kate Winslet 在 Late Show 接受 David Letterman 的訪問。片段中說到她告訴記者關於拍攝 The Holiday 的趣事。 Kate 覺得 Cameron Diaz 吃很多東西但仍是那麼 slim，於是她說："... she can literally eat me under a table!" 觀眾們聽了便哈哈大笑，那是甚麼一回事呢？是關乎英國與美國之 間的文化差異的嗎？"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0A8B-nNjh4


"哩句句子入面有兩個意思, and I think Kate did mean to say both to make the audience LTAF.

Eating her out
- 就係 Dennis' Colleague 所指既 Sexual act - going down on a girl 如用舌頭舔女性的私 處.
Under the table
- 出自去 Bar... if someone drinks you under the table, 就即係呀 Someone 幾飲得, 你同佢鬥吹o個陣, 你都暈哂, under the table, 佢仲好勁咁係咁吹.


一句句子, 兩個用法, 真係妙絕. 佩服佩服. "
