I know what you mean.
One silver lining, eh? At least we get a break from the incessant pestering about drink-counting techniques.
I think I'll have a Corona.
What does the sentence in red mean?
I purposely slipped into a very casual register when I replied to Rover's quip alleging his strolls were interrupted by people asking inane questions. Since he began with "Before the lockdown," I remarked that a
silver lining — an unexpectedly happy result of the "cloud" that the lockdown represents — is an end to that daily irritation. We were both joking. In casual English, a verbless sentence like
Xxxx, eh? is a way to say "Xxxx is something remarkable, isn't it?"
The thread was about beer, so
I think I'll have a beer would be one way of commenting "I'm done." Having one of the Corona beers that I have in my fridge is a way of
thumbing my nose (look it up) at the pandemic.
