Hi Everyone:<br/><br/>Dear Concerned:<br/>Thanks alot for your very kind and helpful emails. It is further requested to help me with the meanings of the following<br/><br/>thanking you in anticipation.<br/><br/>sincerely<br/><br/>aagha<br/><br/>1. What nerve (=fear)! Okay, I admit I'd given her the opening(=give a chance) , but what business was it of <b>hers</b> anyway ?<br/><br/>2.I never want to hear you <b>put yourself down</b> about your weight. (to criticise about your weight?)<br/><br/>3.The phrase gave me a funny feeling inside because I'd always <b>thought of myself </b>as 100 percent American. (consider myself?)
