Alright, I noticed this is post 100, so I'll leave a short fun linguistical situation.
During a class presentation, I sort of hammered on the same topic over and over in the presentation with various examples. On the last example around the end of the presentation I said, "Look, I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but this is very important to the presentation..." and I got a few laughs. Even from the foreign students. Hey, that went over well. Right?
Then one of the Chinese students came up to me after class and asked:
"Excuse me, but what is 'eating a dead horse'?"
... :| *sigh*
HAPPY 100 EVERYBODY! WOOHOO ("WUJU" para los lectores del sur... hm... o lectora del sur.)
