More sugar for Europe! Explanation: You may not take it seriously, but I like it as it is about another ambiguity - sugar as informal term for money :-)))) |

A lump of sugar helps the medicine go down Explanation: Just thinking of Julie Andrews skipping through the Alps. I know she said "spoonful of sugar" ... poor Austrians must not have had sugar cubes. |

You'll see, Europe Explanation: Just fresh off of interpreting for Zlin Region within framework of Informal Meeting of EU Ministers of Employment and Social Affairs in Luhacovice, CR. I'm not going to go into why I know this, but you all know what the phrase infers. It's harder to understand why they found it important to say it. It's a bunch of B.S. In the meaning of the phrase, when one uses it, it is pretty "strong coffee". It basically means tit for tat when tat is gonna deliver you much worse than tit did. in short: you got me, now I'm gonna get you :( -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day12 hrs (2009-02-16 06:30:54 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- here's a question for you linguist out there...Is it important at this point to convey verbatim, or meaning? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days22 hrs (2009-02-17 15:59:13 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- No Stuart, everything was laid back, no nonsense, hats off to Luhacovice, Zlin Region, etc. for representing the CR in high style. Mr. Necas was great. As much anxiety such phrases and behavior at the castle created, the Czechs in my opinion are off to a fine start in their Presidency. Let us not forget that the last evening ended up in Jelinek for "decentni degustace" ;) Example sentence(s):
