    Could you tell me what the meaning of this expression is?
    I´m sitting in front of the telly WITH A TAKE AWAY.

    I also want to know the meaning of RIGHT THROUGH.

    A TAKE AWAY is the same as TAKE OUT MEAL - it is food that is ordered from a restaurant or over the phone and eaten off the premises.

    Regarding RIGHT THROUGH, could you give a little more context please?

    Would that be some fish and chips, perhaps?

    "fish and chips" - yes! Or perhaps a take-away pizza.

    Right Through means from beginning to the very end. I don't know of a meaning to do with take away food.

    It might "go right through you".
