 On The Loose a. What’s with you guys? All of you have never been to a zoo? - “what’s with you guys?” here means “what’s wrong with you guys?”, right? b. All units attention! We have a chimp on the loose. - “we have a chimp on the loose” means “we have a chimp escaping”, right? Thanks very much Namsteven |
