justinb · 06-11-2008, 07:23 PM

is that like calling someone a wet blanket?

Creo que wet podria significar timido, de poco caracter...etc.

Yo utilizo este t�rmino a menudo como slang. Por ejemplo en referencia a una comadrona que tuve en el hospital que nunca ofrec�a ayuda concreta sino comentarios como *oh well she is only little, and I understand, that's babies isn't it". She seemed to be too emotionally empathetic but no help at all. I'd say stupid in an emotional way, if that makes any sense.

A bit like cheesy, I guess, one of those things people use but are not exactly proper English. (cheesy como cursi)

Now what about the rest of the English slang from Europe... ?

Can anyone else drop a list of them? That'd be nice to know.

It�s not a reference to illegal substances? "Didn�t know you liked to get wet."
