Idiom 1.
Spoken American English.
Word-for-word translation:
What does it mean?
1. What kind of day is it? Apparently it's busy with last preparation and
organizational moments.
(Какой это день? Очевидно, очень занятый последними приготовлениями и
организационными моментами.)
2. Can it be busy with promoting your goods and meetings with futur
customers? I doubt it very much. It's not time for that yet.
(Может ли он быть занят продвижением товаров и встречами с будущими
покупателями? Вряд ли. Еще не время.)
ПРЕЖДЕВРЕМЕННО.
| - Take it easy, Tim, I'm sure you'll pass your exam. You started worrying a day before the fair. | - Успокойся, Тим, я уверен, ты сдашь экзамен - ты слишком рано начал волноваться. |

Idiom 2.
(REFRESH!)
Spoken American English
Word-for-word translation:
Let's guess the meaning!
1. I'm giving you only one hint today. To get the meaning we have to base
ourselves on such a feature of a nut as "hardness". Taking into account
that acorns are nuts too and that they grow on oaks....
(Подсказку дам только одну. Здесь нужно отталкиваться от такого качества
ореха, как твердость. Если учитывать, что желуди тоже орехи, а растут
они на дубах...)
Here's the meaning:
ТУПОЙ КАК ДУБ (о человеческой сообразительности).
ТУПИЦА.
БЕСТОЛКОВЫЙ.
Actually this word is more teasing than rude. You can even say it to you beloved one. For instance, for the 5th time you are explaining your dear husband how you want to place the furniture and still do not see understanding in his beautiful eyes, you may say:
| - Darling, you are nut, aren't you? | - Дорогой, ты у меня бестолковенький, а? |
I wish nobody ever cooked your goose! And till tomorrow!
Please write to my e-mail about
your impressions and wishes. Bye-bye! Tory.
