第14回目のテーマは「Put a sock in it!」 今日の慣用句はPut a sock in it!です。This is a very casual idiom and a little rude, and you should only use it with friends. We use this idiom when we are angry because someone is being too loud.  直訳すると「それの中に靴下を詰め込んで！」ですが、慣用句では「黙れ！」「うるさい！」「静かにしなさい！」と意味になります。 Historically, it comes from the gramophone　「蓄音機」. When it was too loud, people would put a sock in the gramophone to make is quieter. In our skit, the Ginza Boys are back! Knight teases john and his girlfriend Monika. Monika is going to Paris on business with her ex-boyfriend, or is it a lie? Johnny get's anggry at Knight! Please contact John at john @ weblish.net if you have any questions or comments.
