    pilate instructor - a teacher of a certain physical fitness system, created by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century

    makeover when they need revamping - that just means to do an improvement when needed. For example, re painting a house when the old paint begins to peel.

    rottweiler - a breed of dog

    possum - small animals (marsupials)

    mind your own beeswax - another way of saying mind your own business. It's what you say to someone if you feel they are being too nosy.

    hickey - a lovebite

    get a clue - a rude way of telling someone that they just don't understand something

    mess up - to make a mistake

    pilates is modern kind of fitness exercise, an instructor is someone who teaches you how to do it or leads a group in a class setting

    makeover is when a fashion or style professional gives someone a new "look" by coaching them on what to wear, how to do their hair, how to apply makeup, etc.

    rottweiler is species of dog, like a pit-bull or a doberman pinscher

    possum is a species of rodent, the female carries her babies on her back

    mind your own beeswax is just a slang way of saying mind your own business

    hickey is red mark, typically left on the neck area, as a result of rough kiss / playful bite

    get a clue is another way of saying wise up or get smart

    mess up is more polite way of saying screw up or make a big error
