They just defined an idiom with another idiom! Come on now.
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Where does the scratching on platic bags fit in?
Oh God, Oz does this. Why? He doesn't ahve claws, but it doesn't make it less annoying.
I just got back from seeing Public Enemies. The movie started 20 minutes late, adn because of that, the automated slideshow for the next showing started during the final scene of the movie. Aaarh!
I went to the managers office to complain, and there was another guy from the showing who arrived at the same time. We both started to tell the story, but the other guy was totally becoming an ass. The manager on duty was just a kid but he was going off. She gave us passes and I thanked her but he was still complaining when I left.
Anyway, long story short, movie was meh. I have two free passes.

The Belgian band Bettie Seervert, who sing mainly in English, have a song called "Tell Me Sad." They were told it was an idiomatic expression in English. I don't know what it's supposed to mean.

Oh, it would be ON if someone started behaving in a hostile manner to me because of something a third party said or did. That would catapult me right out of crush territory and into overly critical Mother-in-Law-who-zeros-in-on-weak-points-with-laser-precision mode.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My trip to Europe is FIRST CLASS, thanks to frequent flier miles. I could actually check three bags for free if I wanted to.

wooo! First class to Europe is awesome, I've done it. Be aware though, if you do it, you will die a little inside every time you fly coach.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sounds like you should bring three bags just on principle, Dana!

or bring two on the way, and save one for souvenirs and whatnot.

Unfortunately (though not really unfortunate at all), my last flight is not on Continental, but on a regional Austrian airline, and they probably would not let me bring three bags for free. In fact, I have to do some pounds to kilograms calculations.
