PE 1/29 Fiji – What Should We Eat?

Those guys didn't have time to stand around and shoot the breeze about air quality. Every waking moment would've been spent in search of food, which is what we should be doing.

* shoot the breeze: to engage in casual conversation with no specific purpose

ex> My uncle would shoot the breeze for hours if they were left alone.

Maybe our ancestors never had full stomachs! Always searching, always foraging, always hungry. We do ourselves a disservice by stuffing our faces every chance we get. We've broken the ancient code!

* do someone a disservice: to do something that is unhelpful or harmful to someone

ex> By portraying rumors as facts, the newspaper did its readers a disservice.

* stuff one’s face: to eat a lot of food

ex> We would eat little salads all week so we could stuff our faces at the weekend buffet.

And you’re starting to sound like a broken record. Let’s just head back up the road and stop at the first restaurant we see. I’ll order a ginormous burger, and you can order a tiny charbroiled squid and three pieces of mango.

* sound like a broken record: to speak repetitiously to an annoying degree

ex> Jared sounds like a broken record every time we discuss politics.

ex> Could we change the channel? That commentator sounds like a broken record.

* ginormous: very large

ex> I can’t believe that people used to drive such ginormous cars!
