O que significa Log rides?

Question

dspeers · Answer

A “log ride” is a ride at an amusement park.  It’s like a water slide where you sit in a car shaped like a log. The idea is a log going down a river, but the slide is much faster than that. You are sure to get wet. :)

Oh hey!  Great to see you again!  One minute you were here and the next you were gone, so suddenly!  I was hoping you’d come back.

@h_foroutan Hey, I’m here. Stepped away to start making dinner. I’m here for another 30 minutes or so.

@h_foroutan 1. Get that weak stuff outta my kitchen

It’s not a common phrase, just a taunt he made up. He’s saying the kid’s shot was weak, very easy to block. “Weak” can refer to both physical strength as well as how flavorful something is, lacking flavor. He’s playing with these two meanings by referring to it as being in the kitchen.

2. Go over to the club and hit a few balls. He’s going to the golf club (usually a private, member’s only club with a golf course). He’s going to hit some golf balls, likely on the driving range.

3. The third clip does not contain a reference to the city mouse, country mouse, but I still know what this means.  It's one of Aesop's Fables, describing the difference in lives between a mouse who lives in the city vs. one who grew up on a farm in the country.  It highlights the differences in people's experiences, and learning to appreciate these differences.

4. Is there anything that scares the coco out of you?

Heh, so, this is a kid's party, which means he can't use vulgar language.  When he says "coco," he actually means "crap" or "sh*t."  To scare the sh*t out of someone is a common expression.  It's not commonly said with the substitution of coco, that was just him being creative in the moment.

5. I don't hear the word "tank" in this clip.  "Oh my god, you are not making comb sheaths?  (I'm not sure that's what he's saying.). I am, and I know it's really lame and everyone hates it."  That's what I hear.

BTW, the show advertised next, "Cougar Town," is one of my all time favorites. :)

6. The Christmas specials with the ugly little clay people.

There are Christmas shows on TV every year that were made back in the 1970s (I think).  They are claymation, stop-motion animation using clay to create the characters.  You'd make these little clay puppets of your characters and scene, take a picture, then change the position of the characters a fraction, take another picture, and so on.  When you put all the images together it makes it look like they're moving.  Very primitive animation technique, but they are still charming to watch.  It's part of the Christmas tradition in the US to watch these; they're usually on lots of times during the month of December.

She's calling them ugly because, even though they are really charming and endearing, they are really bad.  It's funny how bad they are.  :)

5. I know it's really lame.  This definition of "lame" as used here is "uninspiring and dull."  She's just saying she knows the things she's making are not popular or interesting, but she still likes making them.

dspeers · Answer

My pleasure!  I love that you’re improving your English with pop culture shows. So much fun. :)

dspeers · Answer

Go ahead and post any questions you have, even if I can’t get to it right away I promise I’ll come back and answer them all.

dspeers · Answer

Yes, it’s a real expression, everyone will be familiar with this. Used when someone is complaining about something. Either stop complaining and deal with it, or take yourself out of the situation.

dspeers · Answer

No, I don't hear that in the first clip.  He does say "get that weak stuff outta my kitchen," but not "if you can't stand the heat...".
