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.

Sounds like you should bring three bags just on principle, Dana!

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.
