楚楚，你占用了偶生命中的2分钟去绕口令
这个问题很严重『Kick-Butt』
要加深你的印象，花2分钟，值。
哼哼哼！！！！！！!呸呸呸！！！！
你要再不说，我就对你chip on my shoulder！
楚楚，是这个意思吗？;-)
If someone has a chip on their shoulder, they are resentful about something and feel that they have been treated badly.
Examples of the Phrase Being Used
"Why are you still mad at me? You got a chip on your shoulder or something, pal?"
"You seem to have a chip on your shoulder for that fellow, Louis."
"Betrayed by a friend in the past, I've had a chip on my shoulder ever since. I just can't let it go."
哦，明白了
"chip on sb's shoulder"就是耿耿于怀，有意见，难以释怀
So now I take away a chip on my shoulder for Chuchu because of his prompt reply:-)
44. Cold turkey
If you’ve decided to quit smoking where you used to smoke a dozen cigarettes a day, you'll want to quit by smoking less and less cigarettes over a period of time instead of trying to quit all at once in one day, going "cold turkey."
45. Connecting the dots
Taken from the children’s game of connecting the dots to an illustration, this saying means you get it … you understand.
46. Cost an arm and a leg
Do you simply have to have that very expensive coat even though it's not in your budget? If you buy it, you could say it "cost you an arm and a leg," due to its excessive cost.
47. Crocodile’s tears
This saying comes from an anecdote that claims crocodiles cry to lure in their prey. When someone cries "crocodile's tears" it means they are being insincere and fake.
48. Cry wolf
This saying comes from the childhood story The Boy Who Cried Wolf. The little boy in the story kept falsely warning his neighbours that there was a wolf trying to eat their sheep, when there really wasn’t. One day when there actually was a wolf, the little boy tried to truly warned them, but his neighbour's didn’t believe him, only to be shocked finding all their sheep gone. "Crying wolf" means to give false warning.
49. Davy Jones’ locker
There are many theories about the origin of this term. Sailors and pirates used this term to describe the mythical place at the bottom of the sea where drowned mariners rest, their souls locked into "Davy Jones' locker" forever. It's normally used to refer to death by drowning in the ocean.
50. Dead as a doornail
There is no clear or logical explanation as to why a doornail is used to denote the concept of death. One guess is that a door-fastener — a beam of wood used across the inside of a door as a lock — it is also called a nail and it resembles a corpse, which could be why "dead as a doornail" is used to describe a person or animal who is really dead.
51. Devil’s advocate
Originated in the Roman Catholic Church, this term was given to the official who argued against the proposed beatification of a dead person in order to generate debate. If you are part of a conversation, the person who mentions an opposing view without really believing in it, is playing "devil’s advocate."
52. Don’t be a Scrooge
Charles Dickens’ famous A Christmas Carol character Ebenezer Scrooge was a miserable soul who repeatedly yelled, “Bah! Humbug,” when faced with Christmas joy. If someone tells you not to be Scrooge-like, you’re probably being a little grouchy yourself.

Only at your local Timmy’s (Tim Hortons), a coffee with double cream, double sugar is nicknamed “double-double.”
