scroll down and click on the "larger image" link above the photo.
LOL |
I noticed that as well. Did you notice that the link address of the "larger image" link (ie the address in your statucs bar when he mouse is over the link) is not the same address that you are sent to when you click on it? It's the first time I saw an eBay image link that opens up an entirely different item page

who does he think he is kidding - sorry for a non-native-speakers question:
what does this mean?
seems to be something good to quote - if i know its meaning...

Its a phrase used to describe when someone is trying to fool someone or build something up past its expectations but not suceeding.
Example: 'Who does he think he's kidding wearing a suit, we know he works in McDonalds'
Hope that helps

kid (verb)
Kid is widely used as a verb in British English meaning to joke if you want to suggest that what has been said may not be appropriate or true:
* I'm going to call her and tell her she should marry Ben. ~ Are you kidding? Ben's the last person she should marry!
* I'm going to buy her a ring with diamonds and emeralds. ~ You're kidding me! Where are you going to get the money from?
* He says he's going to make a million before he's forty! ~ Who is he kidding? He is kidding himself if he thinks that. |

thanks a lot.
i knew the meaning of kidding but in this case i was irritated."who does he think he is" is exactly a phrase in germany - just without that "kidding".
so the meaning is diffferent.
...saved...

Yeah, "who does he think he is" is also a phrase in English. Adding that one word changes it just enough to make it confusing
Don't you just love living in a multi-lingual world?

absolutely, I do.
And I love improving my knowledge in a useful way like this - that's much better than abstract vocabulary study:-) |
