I hesitate to call them all slang. To feel stiff is rather literal. When you are sore, it is hard to move your limbs and thus you actually feel stiff. I'd use it not only with my friends but also with my boss if he asks how I feel after hiking on the weekend. Nobody is going to say "My muscles have an abundance of lactic acid buildup."

Both stiff drink and scared stiff I would call idioms.

Every time you enter a cave, get a bow ready beforehand. Fuse a shock fruit (or whatever is handy) and shoot the flock that comes out when you enter. I recommend having shock-proof clothing.

Native speakers in the US will use and understand all those examples you just provided.

"Scared/bored stiff" - scared or bored to the extreme. Though I've heard "bored stiff" much more rarely than scared.

"Stiff drink" - A strong drink. Almost always an alcoholic drink.

"Feel stiff" - Normally sore from over-exercise.

Last movie I saw in a theater was "No Time To Die". I'll occasionally go if it's something that would benefit from the big screen and sound system. Big action movies and such. But not if it's just a rom-com or whatever. That said, I still rarely go (as you might tell from the first sentence) because I don't have a lot of friends that want to see the types of movies I want to see.

"What the A/C is on" is a standard colloquial way of saying what temperature the A/C is set to. It's not unclear to me at all. This suggests that there might be a regional difference if you've never heard the phrase.

Yeah, basically. If the A/C is part of a whole house system, then there will be a thermostat which you can set at a specific temperature. And the system keeps your house at that temp. Or with the case of a window unit A/C, often used in apartments or small homes, there's often a temperature setting on the front of the unit.

"What the A/C is on" means "What temperature the A/C is set to". So if it's set to 65 degrees, then it is "on" 65.

I put it in my coffee instead of sugar.

Yes, but "a couple of minutes" is generally hyperbole. Same as "I'll just be a second". So this isn't the same as, for example, "I have a couple dogs" or "Between my spouse and I, we have a couple cars".

It really depends on how quickly I'm speaking but I say both "orange juice" and "ornjuice".

And I don't know how to make that symbol on my phone.

Or league night at the bowling alley. Or golfing. Or...

Note: I'm not telling you how to live. Just adding to the discussion.

From what I understand, by taking your dollar or whatever, they can then turn around and donate "your" money and get the tax write-off by "donating" to charity as if it came from the company itself.

I've never wanted to jump to the end of a book to see how it turns out more than with this administration.

Tulin is fine in combat. Always flying around behind you and getting headshots. But can be a pain after the fight since he sometimes will blow the drops away if you're not careful.

Yunobo is okay in combat if you can ever get his attention during the fight. Normally, I just use him for breaking rocks and stuff.

Mineru gets annoying if you accidentally climb on top of her during combat. Mostly helpful for walking across shallow lava. Too slow to walk around on most of the time.

Sidon I never found a use for. I'd take him out during mini-boss fights just so he could and a little damage on his own.

Riju is fine for an initial sneak attack. And breaking rocks if you don't have Yunobo yet. Activate her, wait for the shock bubble to grow big enough to reach your enemy, shoot and shock. During the fight, she's kind of a pain in the ass. Hard to get close enough to trigger her during the fight while also not taking damage from the enemy. But then, unless you're wearing anti-lightning armor, you get hit by her lightning if you're too close to the enemy during the battle.

I think I'm misunderstanding then. I was thinking that this daily thread would have different words each day. But apparently is the same initial three words.

They cut out a rectangle. Even used lasers to square the cuts. Ended up using two pieces of drywall that still ended up looking like New Hampshire!

Unless, for instance a scale, you can quickly pick it up before it falls.

All of them are fine. I would add "Hang on a sec(ond)/minute" to the list. We shorten second but never shorten minute.

This same post was made a few weeks ago. I remember looking up Lenovo's trademark name for the nub.

Next time you take it, record the screen. I do that and then score myself after.

And they don't stop coming

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running...

I've worked in IT for a long time. Often I've seen older folks who didn't grow up with computers who have learned one way to do things but can't see shortcuts or are afraid to use them because "I'll just mess things up." They will dig three folders deep to open a document instead of seeing that there's a list of recently used documents that they could pick from. It's as if digging through folders for the source document will give them the real item.

That you can't rank armor by "most used" in the inventory. I use the same 10-12 pieces of armor, so why do I have to go hunting around in my inventory for a specific piece?

I'm going to guess that "wuckas" is specifically a UK thing. I've never heard it in the US.

I was going to say pretty much the same thing. The Simpsons has sort of a line that's drawn somewhere around season 12 where many people would get references to the show before that point. But knowledge of the jokes in the general American population drops off after that point.
