John is accused to saying things such as "Say hello to Uncle Elton"

Can someone explain how this is a sexually harassing comment? Thanks.

From Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea:

"If I were towing him behind there would be no question. Nor if the fish were in the skiff, with all dignity gone, there would be no question either."

I suspect you should write, "Nor if the fish were in the skiff, with all dignity gone, there would be ANY question either." if you put 'nor' at the start of the second sentence, 'cause nor contains 'not'.

Any explanation would be appreciated. Thank you.

Is this just that some people are too lazy to add there after up?

What's the difference in meaning between "Hello to everyone up." and "Hello to everyone up there."?

Thanks

Do not set unattainable goals and then blame yourself when you fail to achieve them.

Also avoid obsessing about 'how' no one can do things as well as you.

1.in what way or manner; by what means

2.for what reason; why

Thanks

He obsesses about how he can do things better than anyone else.

He obsesses about how no one can do things as well as he.

Thanks.

So some girl got this message from the guy she is so into, but she isn't sure if also he likes her.

What do you guys think this message means?

"You had better forget about me cause I'm a dangerous man."

"You can play with me as long as you like cause I'm not burning out."

We are what is called a "hipster".

We are what are called "hipsters".

I lost a book whose cover is yellow.

I lost a book whose cover was yellow.

And if so, what's the difference?

Thanks!

A. Where are you? and Where are you at?

I noticed some people tend to use the latter, but 'at' is redundant, isn't it?

B. Where did you buy it? and Where did you buy it from?

I think both are correct, but wonder if there is any difference in the meaning.

'I love you.' 'I adore you.'

Can these sentences be said to someone of the same sex without being mistaken for gay?

Does anybody know what thanksP means like they use in this page?

Mi sono affezionato all'Italia conoscendo la cultura, la storia, la musica, il cinema, i drammi tv, i cibi e cosi' via mentre imparo la lingua italiana.

Grazie!

Vorrei sapere cosa significano queste frasi e in quale occasione si usano. Grazie.

2. "un bacio a chi mi ama e due a chi mi odia"

Hello folks. I can't quite catch the lyrics of this song cause English is not my language.

Can someone help me understand the meaning of the lyrics? From what I gather, I suspect that it's about some dude having regret about his ex girlfriend since he is singing like "love don't pay the bills she yell, drop to her knees and fell" but I'm totally at my wit's end. Thanks.

Qualcuno potrebbe dirmi cosa dice il Presidente come la linea di punch al suo scherzo su un bolscevico guardando la carneficina? Non posso afferrarlo.

Presidente - Lo sai quello che fa un bolscevico quando si tuffa nel mare rosso?

Umberto - No. Melo dica.

Grazie
