CAUTION: NOT A TEACHER
There is a popular TV show in the United States where the host looks at the studio audience
and then yells to one particular person in the audience:
Come on down! (Leave your seat and join me up here on the stage)
I guess it's more enthusiastic than simply "Come down here."
Is that "The Price is Right"? Wow. I didn't realise that was still going anywhere in the world. I think it stopped in the UK in the late 1980s. There was one memorable clip where the host (Leslie Crowther) beckoned a young lady down to the stage with the words "Come on down!" and as she skipped down the stairs, her top - a boob tube - slipped down revealing a part of her anatomy that I imagine she didn't plan to broadcast on national TV!![]()
Hmmm... I think in AmE that might sound mildly offensiveHere, we call it a "tube top". "The boob tube" is strictly reserved for a TV set/bad TV shows. (I assume from boob: a stupid awkward person - source.)
Yes, I meant, 'I get/understand you' or 'I take your point'.
I thought I saw 'I take you' meaning the same among the examples given in the OALD.
But can't find it anymore. Apparently, I confused something.
