I'm learning English, so please explain me the meaning of these phrases.?

Question

What mean:

"you get the point"

"check out"

Do you have the phrase "cooling my legs" or "polling my legs"? And what does it mean?

In what situation do you say "dove", and in what "pigeon"? In what is difference?

Answer 1

"You get the point?" A question - "Do you understand?"

"Check out" - several meanings - 1. Where you pay in a store (e.g. "I went to the check out to pay for my groceries"), 2. Check out of a hotel (leave and pay the bill), 3. to check something out = to look at something, examine it, 4. (slang) to check someone out = to look at someone if you're interested in them sexually

I don't think we have any phrase like "cooling my legs."

Dove and pigeon are two birds of the same species. The only difference is that a dove is white and a pigeon is grey. The dove is the symbol of peace and is the bird that is released at weddings, while the pigeon is a dirty bird and a symbol of rubbish.

Answer 2

You get the point =
Means do you understand the concept of a situation / can you see what i mean

check out =
Means where you pay for your goods at a supermarket /shop counter or investigate some thing

The phrase "cooling my legs" is used by some people to mean they are at rest or resting or swimming

There is a saying "Pulling your leg" means that a person is tricking your OR telling you a tall story OR a con

Dove is usually used for a white pigeon ,but there is a bird that is a breed of dove and another that is classed as a pigeon
Usually dove white bird & pigeon grey or dark bird

Answer 3

'You get the point?" means do you understand the important idea that someone is telling you.
"Check out" differs depending on the context in which it is used but it usually means to see something. Like check out that new store.
Never heard of "cooling my legs"
You usually don't say "dove unless you're talking about the bird itself. A pigeon is different from a dove.

Answer 4

you get the point=you understand the importance/meaning

check out=look at, take a look at

cooling my heels=waiting

pulling my leg=making a joke

dove/pigeon= a "dove" can mean a person who is against war=a pacifist. But I do not know what the distinction is between a dove and a pigeon, except that I suppose people refer to pigeons when they live in the city, and a dove lives in the country. And when we eat them we call them "squab"

Answer 5

"you get the point" - means "you understand"

"check out" - depends on the context. "Check out that girl over there" means "look at the girl". If you are staying at a hotel, to "check out" means to settle your account and leave.

I don't know "cooling my legs", but if I say that you are "pulling my leg", it means that I think that you are telling me a story to mislead me, usually as a joke.

A pigeon is a big, fat bird that one usually sees in cities and parks. A dove is generally a smaller bird. Technically, a pigeon is a type of dove.

Answer 6

I can guess following answers for u :

"you get the point" = do u understand.

"check out" = be careful.

It is neither "cooling my legs" nor "polling my legs" it is "pulling my legs" means just kidding.

"dove" and "pigeon" r not the same. Doves r free lance while we can domisticate pigeons. Doves r always of same color and smaller on the other hand the pigeons can be of various colors.Of course free lance pigeons r similar in color(like that of doves) but bigger in size.

Answer 7

"you get the point" means you understand
"check out" means look carefully
i think you mean "pulling my legs?" it means someone is joking around with you
I have no idea in which situation you would want to use "dove," or "pigeon." Usually the large-bodied species with rounded tails are called pigeons; the smaller-bodied one with longer slender tails are called doves. However, this distinction is not applied consistently.

Answer 8

You get the point means do you understand


check out means 'look at this' .used in a sentence like 'hey check out this store it rocks'

a dove is a white bird and you use it in a sentence like I saw a baby dove fly away.

a pigeon is a gray bird and can be used in a sentence like this 'the pigeon was born today in the park'

pulling my leg means your joking.

Answer 9

This be conscious has 2 meanings in this occasion, and Mae West used this fact to make this a snort assertion. via inclusion of the word 'a psychological wellbeing midsection', the twin meaning of 'committed' in invoked. To be committed to a psychological business enterprise potential to be stored there as an inpatient: a loopy man or woman. A committed guy is man or woman who's truthful to his chosen companion and undertakes no infidelity. dedication is a valued asset in a woman's companion, yet in many situations, adult males cheat. Mae West is asserting that there is not any such factor as a sane, committed guy. Mae West improve right into a action picture celebrity, prevalent for her flirtatiousness and vivacity, and her sexuality. i'm hoping this facilitates!

Answer 10

you get the point = do you understand fully what I am trying to say.

Check out = this can either mean the line to pay for your goods and the place you pay for them BUT it can also mean that you die....to check out.........

Cooling my heels might be what you are trying to ask, which means biding your time...........waiting..............

Pulling my leg again might be what you are meaning to say and that would mean having a joke with you, then some one is pulling your leg..............

Dove is a bird so it would be used in that context pretty much only I would think.

Pigeon again is a bird [totally different to a dove by the way]
