NO DICE!
Dear Teachers,
1. "flight attendant" and "air hostess" are the same meaning, right?
2. Are these sports correct?
- Javenlin-throwing, marathon, horse-racing, car-racing, bike-racing, motorbike-racing.
3. Sometimes things get out of control, so I'll have to stick up and pass by.
- What do "stick up" and "pass by" mean?
4. If I should call you up, invest a dime.
- What does "should" mean here? and "call you up" mean "call your name", right?
5. "no dice!" means "I don't agree!", right?
Thanks very much to Teachers,
Stevenukd.

1. Flight attendent - you get plenty of men doing the job now as well as women and that is the job title. I don't think air hostess has been used for well over a decade.
2. I think perhaps auto-racing is American English. In British English we might say car-racing but usually specify the type of racing - Formula 1 racing, stock car racing, rally driving.
