American Idioms

Loading ...True Story: I went to lunch at an Olive Garden restaurant with a group of co-workers one day. One of the guys who went with us, Ilya, is a Russian immigrant who is still working on his English skills. I had been encouraging him to use more American idiomatic expressions and slang.
The waitress at the restaurant seemed very nervous. When she brought out the drinks she spilled them all over the table. Of course everyone broke out laughing. Except me, that is, because I had been a waiter in my college days so I knew exactly how she felt.
Ilya also knew that I was a former restaurant worker. So he said to everyone including the waitress, “The reason he is not laughing is because he has been in her pants before.”
Pants, shoes, what’s the difference?
