Language Laughs: to have a screw loose
Slang. to be eccentric or neurotic; have crazy ideas dictionary.com
In the midst of being sick for a month and a half with cold, flu, or sinus something or another...one of my crowns came loose. No not my princess tiara or queen bee crown:)I am not blessed with great teeth (and neither are our sons...sorry about that). So when I noticed that I had a wiggly tooth, I knew it couldn't wait.
We have an amazing dentist here. She is one of the best...and I have been to many! I arrived to her office, told her my wiggly tooth woes and she began to assess the situation.
She very calmly told me, "Krystal, you just have a screw loose. Not a big problem, we can fix that." At that pronouncement, I lost it and just started to laugh. I then had to share that Americans use those words in a completely different way. We both laughed at me "having a screw loose."
Have any language bloopers you'd be willing to share?
