| POST |
| John: Listen again to Hans's post. |
| Anne: Så meget for den skiferie... Jeg giver kvajebajer! |
| John: "So much for that skiing holiday... I'm buying made-a-fool-of-myself beer!" |
| Anne: (SLOW) Så meget for den skiferie... Jeg giver kvajebajer! (REGULAR) Så meget for den skiferie... Jeg giver kvajebajer! |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "So much for that skiing holiday." |
| Anne: Så meget for den skiferie... |
| John: Use this expression when expressing disappointment that something or someone isn't what you thought it/he/she was. Listen again- "So much for that skiing holiday" is... |
| Anne: (SLOW) Så meget for den skiferie... (REGULAR) Så meget for den skiferie... |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "I am buying made-a-fool-of-myself beer!" |
| Anne: Jeg giver kvajebajer! |
| John: This phrase is most commonly used by guys when referring to the beer that they'll buy friends because they made a fool of themselves or messed up somehow. It's normally used in good spirits, but some might say that you owe them this beer, even if you don't think you've messed up. Listen again- "I am buying made-a-fool-of-myself beer" is... |
| Anne: (SLOW) Jeg giver kvajebajer! (REGULAR) Jeg giver kvajebajer! |
| John: All together, it's "So much for that skiing holiday... I'm buying made-a-fool-of-myself beer!" |
| Anne: Så meget for den skiferie... Jeg giver kvajebajer! |
