Essay & Composition Writing
Quotations need to be clarified
Hi! I need to know what the following sentences exactly means and whether have special meanings or they are idioms, etc.
1) "Give credit. Take the blame."
This must mean trust and take responsibility, but what is the logic that connects these two sentences as an advice? Any other meaning?
2) "Unless you have served in the armed forces, no fatigues."
Does it mean you cannot understand what weariness is until you join armed forces or don't make a tiring activity until you join armed forces?
3)"Don't tip the owner. A handshake will do."
Does it talk about shopping? When you buy something, just handshake with the salesman? Something like that or another meaning?
Thanks in advance.
