The following is a dialogue in the movie CHARADE. What is the meaning of "things are all fouled up." Is this an old English? Thank you.

BARTHOLOMEW : Dry-cleaningwise, things are all fouled up. I had a good man - an excellent man on the Rue Ponthieu, but H.Q. asked us to use the plant here in the building -- to ease the gold outflow.

I am trying to find a translation for the phrase, "Gone but not forgotten" in latin. I have tried several websites all with dissapointing results. I am trying to find this phrase to put on my fathers tombstone, i figured it would be fitting figuring he found latin unique.

I'm a 10th grade student studying German, and realize there's a good deal of similarities between the two languages. Possibly here too, eh?

Sheilchu kulam l'shalom, Amen Selah

That phase makes my skin crawl when I hear it and makes me want to choke the life out of the person. Most times it doesn't even fit in and it is like a new phrase they are trying out.

Or I could possibly be losing my marbles, your choice

i don't know a lot about deaf people, as i don't personally know anyone who is completely deaf.

i'm not referring to people who become deaf later on or have already learnt how to speak. i was wondering how babies or children who are born deaf learn how to speak for the first time? i mean, they cannot hear other people and themselves speak, so how do they know how to pronounce words?

Why is it that people always say that speaking slang/AAV is bad when dealing with mainly white customers because they don't understand it, but is it bad if someone constantly uses big words when speaking to you. I guess because using the big words make you seem more intelligent, but while trying to sound smart you also confuse alot of people. And again some people don't find that type of language Articulate, but what about the people from diff. countries is their language not articulate because they speak different?

Such as "your trippin', "my bad", "awesome", "sweet", "that's sick", meaning tight or cool, or "you already know", "that's hot".

I tend to use cool alot and that's rad.
