A conversation about How I Met Your Mother
This is taken from a conversation I had with my friend earlier today,
Him: AWESOME EPISODE !!
Him: FUCKING AWESOME
Me: =>
Him: did lily and robing both get a boobjob.. ?
Me: They were pregnant
Me: ...
My Friend: woot.. ?
Me: Like the whole season 4
Me: They always tried to cover it with bags and bowls and such
Me: Didn't you notice?
Him: actually, no
Him: Ive noticed everything else, like the jägermeister bottle in the apartment
Him: They did a very good job on it. I always notice stuff like that
Him: look
Him: I havent seen the last episodes of season 4 in a loong time... my computer broke
only had the first 14 on my externalharddrive
Me: :<
Me: She looks really tired when she kisses Barney in the hospital
Him: why are they at the hospital now again ?
Me: Ted got beat up by a girl goat
Him: oh yeah right
Me: I think we'll see the mother this season
Him: you will see her. but I dont think that she will be a big part of this season. Probebly start dating or something in the last few episodes.
Him: I think I read something about that they wanna atleast make 6 seasons
Me: And they'd leave us at another major cliffhanger like the proposal in Season 3 and we'll have to wait another summer..
Him: fucking hell..
Him: I was walkling on needels that whole summer
Me: Is that really a proverb?
Him: dunno
Me: Hmm.. Good one
Him: anyway, I stayed up the hole night to download the first episode of season 4
Him: whole *
What I'm wondering is, since he said "The night" would that mean he's referring to the night of the current day or a night in the summer? We had a pretty long discussion about this.
Oh, and I didn't really know which tags to use, so I chose "Regards" and "Clauses".

Not too bad :-) 'the whole night' - I'd assume the prevoius night or maybe another specified night. Not a vague time such as 'in the summer'. To be more vague you'd say 'a whole night'.

- 'girl goat' is not idiomatic in English; I suspect it is a direct translation of a saying in your own language.
- I don't know what it means.
