She already fluffed that pillow.

Monica, you know, you already fluffed, but it's fine.

Look, I'm sorry, guys.

I just don't want to give them any more ammunition than they already have.

Yes, and we all know how cruel a parent can be about the flatness of a child's pillow.

Give someone ammunition.

To say to someone something which they can use against you, or to do something which they can use in criticizing you.

Examples.

We have very different styles.

We always have.

And your style just gave the bad guy all the ammunition she needs to go after us.

That's not how I see it.

Really?

How do you see it?

This move just exposed the fact that we have a leak.

I know good and well what he's after.

Then why would you give him ammunition?

Because you think this is gonna be fun.

But trust me, you go after him, and it's gonna get more serious than you thought.

Monica, what do you think?

Mm-hmm.

What?

Are you welling up?

No. You are.

You are.

You're welling up.

You're not.

You're gonna be an ant.

Get up.

You are welling up.

You are so emotionally moved by something that your eyes begin to start filling up with tears.

Another example.

Promise me you'll keep auditioning.

Marie, Mr. Wright is out there somewhere.

Phil, keep using the ointment until that thing goes away.

I wish you all the best.

Thank you all so much.

I'm welling up with tears.

Now get off.

How about Julia?

Julia?

We agreed on Minnie.

It's funny, we agreed we'd spend the rest of our lives together.

Things change.

Roll with the punches.

To not allow difficulties or criticism to discourage you or affect you badly.

Examples.

Listen to me, you want to be in with them?

Roll with the punches, go with the flow.

Make fun of your boss a little bit.

Quinn just asked me to be one of her bridesmaids.

Isn't she even a little weirded out that you and I used to date?

Quinn doesn't have a jealous bone in her body.

She rolls with the punches.

She doesn't have a clue.

No, she does not.

Look, there are people like Ross who need to shoot for the stars.

With his museum and his papers getting published, other people are satisfied with staying where they are.

I'm telling you, these are the people who never get cancer.

Shoot for the stars.

To set someone's goals or ambitions very high.

To try to achieve something specifically difficult.

Another example.

That is our next event.

A hot dog eating contest.

For those of you who are curious, the world record is 54 and one half hot dogs.

Wow!

And you know what?

I personally have cooked up enough so that each and every one of you could break that record.

So shoot for the stars, okay?

First weekend away together.

Yeah, it's a big step.

I know.

It's just a weekend.

Big deal.

Wasn't this supposed to be just a fling, huh?

Shouldn't it be...

flung by now?

I mean, we are way past the fling thing.

I mean, I am feeling things that I've only read about in Daniel's steel books, you know?

Fling.

A short period of uncontrolled pursuit of someone's wishes or desires.

Especially about sexual relations.

Examples.

It is perfectly clear to everyone involved that this is nothing more than a temporary fling.

But on the other hand, if things don't go well with Leonard, I risk losing a really good friend.

I mean, I'm guessing he's not looking for a fling.

He's the kind of guy that gets into a relationship for, I don't know, like you would say, light years.

I would not say that.

No one would say that.

A light year is a unit of distance, not time.

You've got it!

Well, we're applying to a lot of them.

Naturally, our first choice would be one of the bigger state zoos, you know, like, uh, San Diego, uh, right?

But that may just be a pipe dream because you know he's out of state.

Pipe dream.

An idea, dream, or plan that is impossible or very unlikely to happen.

Examples.

100

I'm telling you the universe keeps revealing her to me.

101

It's screwing with my head.

102

You're getting married in three days.

103

That's my point.

104

It's entirely duplicitous.

105

Think about it.

106

Why would you risk your relationship with Hallie just to search for some pipe dream?

107

Well, what can I do to make you feel better?

108

Nothing.

109

Unless you can build me a time machine.

110

Funny.

111

Until someone can figure out how to keep a wormhole from collapsing in on itself.

Shellen's right.

134

This guy, this guy's brilliant.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
