Please, check some items.

Hi, there !

Please, could you check if the following is correct ?

" The students were double-dutch on the concrete during break" (Does double-dutch mean = skip rope ?);

- Gotta love your husband. (Does gotta love mean = you have got / have to love your husband ?) ;

- Is To cram in the same as to fit in ? E.g.: Can a clam cram in a clean cream can?

Thanks in advance,

Adam
