Question 1
Some of friends are discussing the dialogue in PRISON BREAK and here next is one of the sentence they don't understand to the full.
QUOTE
- Are you a religious man, Scofield?
- Never really thought about it.
- Good, 'cause the Ten Commandments don't mean a box of piss in here.We got two commandments and two only.
- The first commandment is you got nothing coming.
- What's the second commandment?
unquote
so what does that mean exactly, you got nothing coming??
Question 2
This a frequent phenomenon we Chinese always see, the whole page would display in an incorrect way when we check information in other languages,it looks like there's something wrong with the coding. so what do we say to this? Is there any fixed words or phrases we can use to mean INCORRECT CODE? What do native speakers say then??![]()
You got nothing coming is an Americanism. I assume it means 'you have no hope' or the 'situation is hopeless' BobNY will probably elaborate![]()
I think "you got nothing coming" means, no one owes you anything or you are starting out at zero, with nothing! You've got to "earn" everything.
Then about the answer to question 2??
Thanks
Sorry, I was supposed to say
Then what about the answer to QUESTION 2?
Thanks, Mike
