Thanks guys, all of you
I have Some more questions.
1- What is the meaning of "you're not above murder"! Does it mean that you're not worse than death or murder?
2- What does "She's gonna snap" mean
3- What does "on edge" mean? for example we're all on edge
4- And what's the meaning of "come to a head" for example Things are coming to a head
"You're not above...." followed by anything just means the person does not have the morals to avoid doing it. So "You're not above murder" means that "You" would consider murdering someone.
"She's gonna snap" means there is a lot of pressure on her, and she is trying to remain calm, but when she "snaps," she'll do something crazy or violent.
"On edge" just means nervous, like if you were on the edge of a cliff, you might be nervous that you might lose your balance and fall off. It's that sort of metaphor.
"Come to a head" means various actions are about to reach their conclusions, usually according to someone's plans. You can see that something big is about to happen as a result.

Thanks, then "Come to a head" means that I'm working hard on a game and after 2 years when my game is almost complete I can say things come to a head and I'll can release my game soon. correct?
Does it just mean reaching to a conclusion? or reaching to an end?
And about "you're not above murder" even with your guidance I couldn't find out what this exactly means
You're not above means you are likely to do it and or have done it in the past
It is a way of accusing someone in a way by saying someone is not above... you are basically saying you have done it in the past and are likely to do it again Lilly in TWD was basically saying that Kenny was a murderer and is not the kind of person who won't repeat it

Does it just mean reaching to a conclusion? or reaching to an end?
Or "things are coming to a head," which is the usual way to say it. It also tends to be used for big things, so your 2-year project would be good, but you would not use that phrase on a 2-hour project. It only works for reaching an end if it is according to plan.
And about "you're not above murder" even with your guidance I couldn't find out what this exactly means
Normally, "not above" is used when talking about someone else, like: "Stay away from Bruno. He's not above shooting you if you get in the way." That is, most people would not shoot you for getting in the way, but Bruno might.
if you're after the meanings of individual words, a dictionary would probably be more useful than us!
I'll give it a go though:
The difference between an edge and a ledge is that, while the edge of something is where it stops existing (the edge of a table, for example, is the point where the table stops), a ledge is something like a shelf that's sticking out of a horizontal surface. A window ledge, for example, is that little bit of wood (or whatever) that sticks out beneath the actual window.
"Go sideways"... in the more literal sense it means to move to the side, as in the left or right. If someone goes sideways then they're going to the left or the right instead of straight ahead. If this is being used in conversation, I'd probably need to hear the context it's used before I can give a better definition.
As for coupling, there's a couple of different meanings.
- When two objects join together (for example, when the things that connect train carriages are actually connected together, that would be a coupling).
- When two people form a relationship (for example, if I got a girlfriend, we would be a couple, and the act of us becoming a couple is a coupling)
if you're after the meanings of individual words, a dictionary would probably be more useful than us!
I'm using three dictionaries for this purpose, But it's hard sometimes to understand what's the exact meaning of a word like "flirting"
My language is a lot different from your language
For example I've read description on dictionaries about word "flirting" but still I have doubt
Does it mean having s*x with someone or it means talking or acting with or around someone only because they have s*xy attraction?
If you're acting flirty with someone, then you're teasing them with sexual advances. It's not always a straight-up declaration of wanting to have sex, but it's a good start.
For example, if I approached puzzlebox and said "You have the most beautiful lips. Do you mind if I kiss them?", then I'd be flirting with her (and she'd no doubt slap me in return, given my past history at this sort of thing).
If someone is "not above (something)" it means they are not exempt from it, or that it's not out of character for something they would do.
In Star Trek 6, the president says "This president is not above the law." This means that he has to follow the law and isn't allowed to do something which is illegal.
If someone says "you're not above murder" it means that either your personality or your past actions suggests that you are capable of killing someone.
Today I saw a part of TWD again and chuck told Lee " These people look up to you. Rightly so"
Now I want to know what does exactly "Rightly so" could mean?
I think "Rightly so" in here means "Really"
Is it correct?

Not quite. In this context, it means "As they should". Basically it's saying the look up to him, because he's worth looking up to (as a role model).

Thanks then It means "The right is with them"?
For example:
First person: I hate him because he stolen my book when I was a child.
Second person: rightly so = (You have right to hate him because of what he did to you)
Am I correct now?
That is one of Russ Meyer's best. My wife gave me a Russ Meyer collection for my birthday a couple of years ago, which also have the Vixen movies and the classic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!.
Up starts off as sort of a murder mystery farce in which Hitler, having survived the war, is killed by a single piranha dropped into his bathtub. Gradually though it seems like Meyer forgets where he was going with the movie and it just gets more and more over the top crazy. I'd give it 10/10 for what it is.

So I'm on it right now. What is the difference between persuade and convince?
Maybe in your language difference is obvious but I have no idea what makes a difference between these two in my language. Please somebody help,thanks

Persuade and convince are synonyms. (which means that they mean almost the same thing).
I suppose the difference between them is that if you are trying to get someone to agree with you, they could probably be persuaded without being entirely convinced.
That is to say, if you are convinced about a certain line of thought then you have little or no doubt. If you are persuaded, then you might agree but still have doubts or unanswered questions which keep you from being entirely convinced.
Thanks then It means "The right is with them"?
For example:
First person: I hate him because he stolen my book when I was a child.
Second person: rightly so = (You have right to hate him because of what he did to you)
Am I correct now?
Yes.
Although "the right is with them" isn't correct grammar (though I do know what you mean by that).
The proper way to word what you meant by saying "the right is with them" would be to say "they are in the right."

Thanks a lot. That was a great description, It helped me to found the difference between persuade and convince in my language
My second question is about Idiom "take something in stride" does it mean to doing or getting something in cold blood?
No, "take something in stride" means something bad happened to you but you did not let that bother you and just kept going. For example, today I tried to go to a restaurant, but it was closed due to a water main break. I took that in stride and went to a different restaurant.
A stride is a walk at the same pace, so it's like you find an obstacle while walking but are able to move past it without slowing down, which is what the saying means.
To stride (as an action verb) is to take a step at a longer than normal distance.
Also, your stride (as a noun) is the distance between your steps when you walk or run.
To "take something in stride" means you don't let it stop you. You keep on going.
So, yeah, what WarpSpeed said. It means when something bad happens but you don't let it bother you.
What does "drastic" exactly mean? can't find an equivalent for this word in my language
In The Walking Dead E5, Christa said "I know it's drastic" (When they decided to cut off Lee's arm)

The term "drastic" often refers to actions or measures that are very effective but also quite risky or brutal and tend to have great influence on the future.
In your example, cutting off the arm has the benefit of solving the problem quickly once and for all, but the loss of an arm is of course brutal and of great importance for one's future life.
I'm gonna straight up ban you from posting in half these threads one of these days, coolsome. In a nice way, obviously.
Less of the off-topic stuff, if you would.
Oh yh cos the thing I was replying to was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo on topic wasnt it. :rolleyes:
Comments
Anyway, the usual usage would be "I made" over "I did make", but "I did make" is OK if there is a special emphasis on it. For example:
Mother: Why are you eating those cookies? I told you to make a sandwich!
Child: I did make a sandwich! And I'm still hungry!
I have Some more questions.
1- What is the meaning of "you're not above murder"! Does it mean that you're not worse than death or murder?
2- What does "She's gonna snap" mean

4- And what's the meaning of "come to a head" for example Things are coming to a head
"She's gonna snap" means there is a lot of pressure on her, and she is trying to remain calm, but when she "snaps," she'll do something crazy or violent.
"On edge" just means nervous, like if you were on the edge of a cliff, you might be nervous that you might lose your balance and fall off. It's that sort of metaphor.

I consider it's a good result, thanks all for helping.
For now I'm going to work on the next new 500 words and idioms and........

Sooo thats what that was about.

But that example about a closed restaurant is a good one?
The idiom "like water off of a duck's back" also comes to mind as it means almost the same thing.

... my brain ... cannot ... process ...
