"I may be way out on a limb here, but do you have a problem with Janice?"
In this sentence, what means " be way out on a limb"?
"Way out on a limb" can mean to take a risk (as if one were climbing a tree and moving toward branches that will not support one's weight). In this case, it means to be in a position that others would not put themselves in, to invite criticism for making a foolish statement. :wink:
What means "Bite me!" and " climb out of my butt."?
Both are expressions of irritation. "Bite me" is just a hair less vulgar than "F*ck you". Climb out of my butt implies that the person has been up your butt -- being very demanding and pushy. :wink:
, two teachers, you missed a question of mine which located in the end of page 1. Please tell me what it was supposed to mean?
