英文俚语
1.Nickel的价值仅高于penny，是值五美分的硬币。Nickel通常指一种银白色的金属, 镍，五分硬币里含有镍，所以称为nickel。今天要学的习惯用语是：nickel-and-dime。
Dime是值十美分的硬币。Dime的价值虽然是nickel的两倍，但是dime也只是一枚很小的硬币，而且dime跟nickel相比是既小又薄，原因是过去曾经用比镍贵重得多的银子来铸造dime。 Nickel-and-dime既可以被当作一个动词来用，也可以作为一个形容词。我们还是通过例句来领会它的意思吧。先听一位爸爸在抱怨自己两个十多岁的子女老向父母要零花钱，数目虽然不大，但是长年累月、积少成多，也成为负担了。请注意他话里的习惯用语nickel-and-dime是个复合动词： 例句-1：Our kids Bill and Susie nickel-and-dime my wife and me to death. It's just a few dollars every time, but it never stops and after a while it adds up to so much money it makes quite a hole in our pockets. 他说：他们的孩子Bill和Susie老问他和太太来要零花钱，烦得要命。虽然每回只是几美元，但是没完没了，长此以往，就成了一大笔钱，好象他们口袋里有个窟窿似的。 这段话里的复合动词nickel-and-dime意思显然是零打碎敲地长期消耗，而花费了大笔钱财。刚才说过习惯用语nickel-and-dime也可以当形容词用。比方说，在这句话里： 例句-2：He has a little nickle-and-dime business that makes just enough money to put food on the table and pay the rent. 这句话是说一个人有个小本经营的小买卖，挣来的钱刚够饭钱和房租。 这里的nickle-and-dime描绘business，是形容词，意思就是“小本经营的”，或者“微不足道的”，相当于我们上次学到的penny-ante。 2.idgaf是什么意思呢？其实就是I don't give a fuck的缩写，意思是我才不在乎，管它呢！相当于我们平时常说的I don't care，与I don't give a shit意思相同。

美国俚语大全
1. I couldn't care less. 这句话的意思是「我不在乎」，「缺乏兴趣」（lack of interest），也就是：I don't care at all. 或I don't give a hoot. 例如： 人家如果问：What do you think of the budget-cut?（你对预算削减有何看法？）你回答：I couldn't care less.（我毫不在乎） How do you like Mr. Lee's political point of view?（你喜欢李先生的政见吗？）I couldn't care less.（我才不在乎呢！） 但是有时说话者也有「口是心非」：例如： I couldn't care less about the promotion or pay raise.（我不在乎升级或加薪）而实际上他是根本在乎升级和加薪的，那么人家也许就会回答说：Yes, you do （care）. 至于I couldn't care more. 就是「我很在乎」（I care a lot.）或I care deeply. 同理： I couldn't agree more.=I totally agree.（我完全同意） I couldn't please you more.=I did my best to please you.（我尽量使你高兴）I couldn't be more right.=I am totally right. 但是老外为了「自尊」，不愿强调自己的错误，所以很少人说： I couldn't be more wrong. 注意：一般人都用否定句，但也有老外把肯定句与否定句互用。 不过，严格来说，I could care less. = I care to some degree.（care 的程度可能减少） I could care more.=I care some.（care的程度也许增加）（主词可用任何人称代名词：he, she, you, we, they 等。但只用could，不用can。） 2. No bones about it. 意思是：真实的，诚恳的（truly, sincerely or exactly），也就是to make no bones about it.（bone 要加s, it 是指something）例如： His wife is beautiful;no bones about it.（他的太太真是很漂亮） Mr. A made no bones about it when he talked about abortion issue.（当A 先生谈到堕胎问题时，他是诚恳的。） When I spoke on the topic,he said, "No bones about it."（也就是他同意我的看法） No bones about it;the weather is very chilly today.（今天是真的太冷了）

12个英语俚语,形容各色类型的人
1. a wise guy 骄傲自大的人。这里的wise并不表示“聪明”，相反它含有讽刺的意味。Alic’s all right, I guess, but sometimes he’s such a wise guy. 据我看，亚历克这个人还不赖，不过有时候太狂妄自大了。有时候本词组还用于朋友之间的调侃。Who’s the wise guy that took my lunch box? 是哪位机灵的大爷拿走了我的饭盒？ 2. a shrinking violet 畏首畏尾的人。 原意为“正在发蔫的紫罗兰”。紫罗兰在背阴的地方悄悄地开花，所以violet是谦虚的象征，代表“腼腆的人”，但加上shrinking意思就有了变化。George has a very good mind. He would rise fast in the world if he weren’t such a shrinking violet. 乔治很聪明。如果他不是一个畏首畏尾的人，在社会上早就出人头地了。 3. a backseat driver 不在权限范围内而指手划脚的人。 在美国开车出门是许多人生活的一部分。开车的技术当然每个人都不一样，一般来说，开车的人都不太愿意被别人指指点点。所以我们把那些老是喜欢在后面给开车的人提出不必要的指导和建议的人叫做backseat driver。One place where you find lots of backseat drivers is in politics. 要说指手画脚的人，在政界你可以找到好多。 4. a wet blanket 令人扫兴的人。 这一表达的来源是：当发生火灾的时候，为了扑火，把湿毛毯盖到火上。后用来指在社交场合泼冷水、令人扫兴的人。I’m sorry to be such a wet blanket, but I’m afraid I have to go home now. 我让大家扫兴，实在太对不起了。不过，我现在必须回家啦。 5. a late bloomer 大器晚成的人。 原意是“迟开的花”，与人大器晚成相似。Paul was such a slow worker at first that we almost fired him, but he proved to be a late bloomer. 保罗初来时工作非常迟钝，我们几乎要开除他，但最终证实他是一个有潜力的人。 6. an apple polisher 拍马屁者。 过去美国学生为了讨好老师，把擦得光光亮亮的苹果递给老师，本词组源于此。You should take much care of him, and he’s a real apple polisher. 你可得多留心那小子，他可是个货真价实的马屁精。 7. an ugly customer 粗暴的人。 Ugly是ugly behavior（行为丑恶）的意思，指使用暴力，威胁他人。Customer原意为“顾客”，转用于表示“一沾上边就会有麻烦的人”。When he starts drinking, he can become an ugly customer. 他一喝上酒就会大吵大闹，令人真是没办法。 8. a visiting fireman 远方的客人。
