| Re: Phrases I dont understand... That's an interesting question, but it's difficult to answer without knowing what the context is. For example, it could refer to a storey in a building, or it could be talking about a stock exchange or a meeting. Could you give us a bit more? Perhaps the complete sentence? |

| Re: Phrases I dont understand... Is it in a political context? If so, then the floor means the Senate or Congress- so when it comes to the floor, it would be debated: http://www.yourcongress.com/ViewArti...article_id=175 |
