I’m
gathering up my contributions for the
clothing swap at Brenda’s. I told you about it, remember? It starts at five, so
I’d better get going.

We
try things on, we pick things out for each other, we talk… it’s a blast. Hey –
why don’t you host a clothing swap
for all your guy friends? Then you’d see how fun they are!
* swap:
바꾸기, 교환
Let’s
see if I have this straight. I invite a bunch of guys
over, they bring all the old clothes they don’t want, we dump ‘em on the floor,
and if we see something we like, we try it on, in front of everybody else.
* have something straight: to understand
something correctly

Ron made his apprentice repeat the directions until he had them straight.
Yep.
That’s it, in a nutshell.

manner
= in
a few words; briefly; succinctly

In a nutshell, she wants you to stop bothering her.
What’s
so funny? I’m sure you've got things you never wear any more. That means all
those other guys are probably in the
same boat. Some of my most cherished items came from clothing swaps, and
they didn’t cost me a dime!
* in the same boat: in the same situation
as someone else

You’re not the only one in trouble; we’re all in the same boat.
* not cost a dime: to have zero cost; to
be free of charge

A walk in the sunshine can improve your mood, and it doesn’t cost a dime.
Oh,
you’re impossible! I have to go. Have a nice evening laughing your head off alone while I have a great time with my
girlfriends!
* laugh one’s head off: to laugh
uncontrollably for a long time

We laughed our heads off through the entire movie.
