Graduate Studies; One step at a time!!!!

Slangs (USA)

Posted by saintdeb on January 30, 2008

I decided to give you guys a healthy (and maybe not so healthy) dose of american slangs as I felt that for prospective grad students planning for USA, it might turn out to be a very important tool. It is not that I profess it’s use in the day to day conversation. It is just that it might happen that we lose track of what’s being said in a conversation of which we are a part! Moreover, I have always found american lingo to be very amusing and hope you guys have fun as well in reading them!

What an awesome sunset. (great)

I was blown away by his donation of a million dollars. (greatly impressed)

Put the hammer to the floor or we will be late for the wedding. (accelerator)

It’s OK. Don’t get so bent. (angry)

I hope it is useful. I for one am planning to go through all of them (taking a few months probably, considering how lazy I can get!)
