disdained

The sentence does not make sense to me. I think you left a word or two out. Can you give us some more?

Here is the short description that I read on the internet:

FINGER-LICKIN’ DEAD: Thomas Scala, who killed wife Blanche, nearly turned up his nose at in-law Mary Scala’s meal, then dug in — and choked to death. Mary (above) yesterday shares the recipe

That's funny. I mean funny "ha-ha". He turned up his nose at her meal, not at her, which makes sense. It's a figure of speech meaning "disdained"—you can imagine him literally raising his nose away from the food as if it stank.

enoon, Thanks for pointing out your doubt on my first post otherwise I wouldn’t have known that I've made such a funny mistake.

Hi tracy,

is your sentence correct grammatically?

I am not sure. Perhaps you can help me by pointing out my mistakes.

I don't know, I hope someone can come and point them or it for us.

Okay, can you please explain why you used Past Perfect and not Present Perfect as she used?

I'll bet that of you thought about it for longer than two minutes, you'd get it yourself, but anyway, I used past perfect because we were already in the past with "would not have known", and the mistake came before that.
