REQUEST FOR THE MEANINGS OF BOLD WORDS
Hi Everyone!
Dear Concerned:
I've sent an earlier post but did not get its reply. Therefore, you are requested to help me with the meanings of the following bold worlds; in some cases the possible meanings have been given and I am uncertain of their meanings. Please do guide me for their correctness.
1 .... nothing short of an earthquake could shake them loose from the kitchen.
2. I'd never understood their fascination with cooking. (attraction or obsession with cooking?)
3. I stifled a bored groan as Tonya went on.
4. All the time I thought I was dazzling him with my cool moves, I was actually driving him away. (making him crazy with my actions..?)
5. There is nothing wrong with a guy using his brains instead of his muscles. (there is no harm if a guy is more intelligent than being strong?)
6 .... he looked every bit as hot as he had yesterday in shorts. (he was looking very hot in shorts yesterday?)
7. I stood behind it with a pasted-on smile.
Thanking you in anticipation.
sincerely
