When I was watching a British TV series "Miranda ",I came across a line as mentioned in the title .I couldn't make sense of it. Please help me.
By the way I have two more questions also in connection with this TV series.
1. After Miranda makes a cock-up (She falls onto floor clumsily when she is trying to convince her friend Stevie that she is indeed feminine),she gets back on her feet and says[FONT=宋体]“[/FONT] It’s all about the recovery ,isn't it" ,apparently as a sort of covering up of her embarrassment .So what does this sentence mean? I did some checking and found that "all about" is something like "for the reason of ", but I still can't comprehend it in this context. So please help me to understand.
[FONT=宋体]2. When one of Miranda's old friend learns that Miranda is still single at the age of 35, she exclaims, “Hideloa”,apparently expressing sympathy. What does this word mean here? I only learned that it’s a title of a film. So please help me with it.[/FONT]

I think this refers to this person attracting men, cock is slang for penis. :oops: Thus a "cock magnet" is someone who attracts men!:oops: Shoot me is more an American expression, sorry cant help there. Ps Best use this term with friends only.:)

Shoot me- this sounds like she is saying she can't help attracting men, so don't expect her to change or do anything about it.
