The Cat's Meow!



Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are many expressions about cats. Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries. If someone looks very proud  or satisfied with himself, we say he “looks like the cat  that ate the canary.”

Ernest Dowson, "Autumnal"

Pale amber sunlight falls across
The reddening October trees....
Are we not better and at home

In dreamful Autumn, we who deem
No harvest joy is worth a dream?
A little while and night shall come,
A little while, then, let us dream..

Oh boy!

Слово «Boy» присутствует в английском языке с 1300 года.

not to mention

You work at a company that's starting to build applications for tablet computers and phones. You and a group of colleagues are discussing whether to design one layout for all different devices, or separate layouts for each. You just gave one reason why it's better to just use one layout. Now you give another.  Not to mention, there are always new devices coming out.
