Part 3 Flashcards
Screw it
= Whatever happens, I don’t care.
In teamwork, people often slack off. That really annoys me sometimes. But you know what, SCREW IT. I will just do my part and I’ll PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER as usual.
Crunch time
= Busy period of time when everyone has to work hard.
The tax season is just AROUND THE CORNER. In Canada, it’s between March and April. It’s CRUNCH TIME for accountants to file tax for their clients.
What’s the catch?
It sounds weird. What’s the reason behind it?
AT&T is giving away free iPhone
Really? so WHAT’S THE CATCH?
You have to sign a 2-year contract with them costing you around $70 everymonth.
Recoup (v)
= Recover what you have lost.
I lost $3.000 in stock market last week.
Yesterday, I earned $4.000. I have not only RECOUPED THE MONEY but made a profit after all.
Fit into the picture
= Does not fit with the overall plan.
Having a job is important. But having a job that is not related to what you study doesn’t really FIT INTO THE PICTURE. And of course, doesn’t give you more BANG FOR YOUR BUCK after all.
I wasn’t born yesterday.
= Come on, i’m not stupid.
One of my friend suddenly called me FOR THE FIRST TIME after 3 years and said she had a business opportunity that could help me earn several thousand dollars per day without working. Come on, I was’n born yesterday.
Up and running
= Active, actively working, functioning
My iPhone 4 is so slow and isn’t working sometimes. I may have to reset it to get it UP AND RUNNING again.
I love when I see my money-counting machine always UP AND RUNNING.
