What does it mean if someone says "I'm in danger of breaking sweat at any second." ?
And what is sodding fertilizer?
Thank you very much in advance!
1) The phrase is usually "break
a sweat" and simply means to start sweating. I used to hear this a lot in the days when I regularly attended a gym. Some of us would be in the gym, very hot and sweating a lot, but there would be other people there who appeared to be working just as hard but somehow stayed completely sweat-free! We would say "It's not fair. Look at her. She's been on the treadmill for 30 minutes yet she hasn't broken a sweat!"
2) Sodding fertilizer?!! I have no idea if this is a technical term. Fertilizer (fertiliser in BrE) is the substance which is put on the ground or on plants to "feed" them.
A "sod" is a lump of soil.
I haven't heard these two words together unless you count the fact that "sodding" is a BrE swear word, in which case the speaker was for some reason annoyed about some fertiliser and chose to refer to it as "sodding fertiliser".
Can you give us the context for the phrase?
