:blink:

this is such an educational thread! :naughty:

 

I have two questions:

- what's pettifrogging? My dictionary has only pettiflogging .

- what expression "devil may care" means?

 

at your first question, it's a made up word by FD i guess:naughty:

it's origin is pettifogging:roftl:

 

and as far as i know devil may care means something like taking it easy :bleh:

 

my dictionary says:carefree or easy-going,without worry or responsibility etc..

 

*waits for the teachers to correct her*

ok, thanks (loving pettifogging doesn't make sense to me either, but I guess there's some story about it I missed, doesn't really matter when it's not real word)

 

thanks for explanations :thumb_yello:

 

and your avatar :shocked: very very unhealthy :shocked:

 

You know that here when someone smokes a lot we say 'smokes like a Turk' seriously, that's very common expression :naughty:

There's exactly the same expression in Italian :D .... and I found this explanation:

 

"Smoking is so widespread and deeply rooted in Turkey that even the French and the Italians -- no slouches themselves when it comes to lighting up -- have made "smoking like a Turk" their byword for chain smokers"

 

No more, says the Turkish Parliament, which has just joined many other countries in Europe by enacting a law that will ban smoking in bars, restaurants and cafes as of next year."
