The doctor here refers to a psychiatrist, because this boy has psychological problems, not a health problems. Somebody call the doctor! (=anyone can do it) let Peter call the doctor! (= Peter should do it) SOMEONE CALL THE DOCTOR= This is the way to construct the imperative when we don’t refer to anyone in particular: Going to -> gon’ to (colloquial) -> N+T= N. Here we can say exactly the same comments we used when explaining WANNA. If you speak "in plain English", you speak clearly, so everybody can understand what you say. But "plain" is used like this with a negative meaning, we never say, "you’re plain lovely" we would say "you’re simply lovely". If you’re plain boring, you’re boring and that’s it, no exceptions or nuances. We use the word PLAIN to express the idea that there is nothing more to it, so it gives emphasis to the adjective. YOU’RE PLAIN BORING= You’re really boring. USED TO LAUGH ‘BOUT NOTHING= We used to laugh about nothing, for no reason (but that doesn’t happen anymore). When a battery is exhausted, it has no more energy, we say that " it’s dead". Having the same feelings, likes and thoughts.Ī DEAD BATTERY= A battery is a device to store energy (for example, the two cylinders or the button you put into your MP3 player to make it work). If they are exactly the same, they are called "identical twins". TWINS= Two siblings (brother or sister) born at the same time. USED TO= We use this verb to express the idea that something was true in the past but not now anymore. WANNA is really common in conversational AmE, and also quite common in colloquial BrE. In colloquial English, especially American English, a T may be lost after an N. The "kiss" part is not always taken literally. When two children fight and they are angry with each other, parents can say, "come on, kiss and make up", as a way of making them be friends again. WE MAKE UP= We start a good relationship again after breaking up or fighting. To be up and down may be the same thing, just using opposites, but considering he’s bi-polar, it makes a lot of sense to consider its other meaning: "to be down" means to be depressed, so by contrast here, "to be up" would mean to be high, to feel great (unnaturally great). "To be in" is to be fashionable (doesn’t fit in this context though), but it may also mean "to be introverted" and to be out could be "to be extroverted", but it’s also "to be at home / to be outside", or simply a way of expressing you’re sometimes like this and sometimes the opposite. YOU’RE IN/OUT, UP/DOWN= In the chorus she’s using opposites to explain that he’s always changing his mind, but some of these opposites may also have a precise meaning. You can also spell this like: ‘cause, coz, cuz. It may also be used for men (but not usually) to mean he’s weak and/or vile (hateful).ĬRITICALLY= If you speak critically, you often criticize people (say bad things about them)ĬAUSE (coll.)= Because. So here, she’s telling him that he always behaves like a woman with PMS.īITCH (a rude word, coll.)= A malicious or spiteful woman (offensive). The worst time to be around a woman because they get so sensitive and irritable. An array of symptoms that comes from a hormonal upset as a woman's body prepares to either become pregnant or expel an unfertilized ovary. YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND= If you change your mind you change your thoughts or decisions, you think differently. Wedded is the past participle of "to wed", to marry.
LAWFULLY means "recognized by law", "legally". YOUR LAWFULLY WEDDED HUSBAND/WIFE= Notice the formula they use to marry two people. If we want to represent this we usually spell it like this: hot 'n' cold, rock 'n' roll (using apostrophes to mark the missing sounds).
HOT N COLD= Though it's not usually written like this, the conjunction AND is very often pronounced "an" or simply "n". Alexander, do you take Katy to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Katy, do you take Alexander to be your lawfully wedded husband?
