Default Question!!!!!!!!!!

I'm all over you.
Means I like you?
or dislike?
How to use " all over "?

Where can help me to find out the meaning of "English expressions', such as "take the first shot" and "odds and ends"?

Hi, buddy. I am far from a Teacher, but allow me to present my two cents here. It seems to me that "I am all over you" suggest "I had liked/loved you before, but I don't now".

Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English is a good choice. I am talking about the CD version.
:wink:

Eric2004, I'm glad to have been of some help to you. When you're a grandmother it's flattering to be called a girl, so thanks for that. I don't care much for soccer, but my sons love it. BTW, I do live in Brazil, but I'm an American.

Oops, I always made mistakes here. So Mrs, good for your sons, surely they will be able to compete for soccer with other American guys in the future, coz Brazil is the heaven of soccer. :wink: But only for soccer.
