"Dinner thinner"
Does anyone know what a "dinner thinner" is? I assume a snack or kind of snack? Which countries is it used in?

Re:To drop
Yes, that makes sense. In that case, it could be a shorter way of saying "I dropped out of it." A more general answer for the phrase "to drop" I guess could be talking about something you quit doing. For example "I dropped it like a bad habit"

Re:To drop
Perfecto, Vale! I understand perfectly. It means that you began a course in English at one time, you stayed in the course for several weeks, but that for some reason you stopped after that.

Re:Someone can teach me English...........i am Thai
Hi Pattamawadee,
You can post the phrases containing the puzzling expressions right here in the slang/expressions bulletins, and we'll be glad to help. Of course, the more background / context information you can give us to help us figure out how the expression is being used, the more likely it is we will be able to help. You'll see how this works if you look at a recent conversation I have been having with American Version about "Air Force Vocabulary". It's a lot of fun, and we're always delighted to help if we can.
Cheers!

Re:about a Beatles´s song: Musak
Hola, Desislava,
Musak is the trade name for what we often refer to as "elevator music," the very mellow insturmental versions of popular songs that they play in department stores, doctor's offices, and, of course, elevators. There was some scientific experimentation that suggested that this kind of soothing music calmed people down and made them less likely to do anything anti-social like steal or behave violently.
Of course, it doesn't affect me that way. I find it very irritating, and I have great difficulty NOT getting violent when they're forcing me to listen to the stuff.
Cheers!
