關於Amanda的意思和用法的提問

A: It just means that you are watching Amanda get better.

A: "Amanda was refusing to give me the week off so I went over her head and spoke to the boss"

I think that this means that the person was asking Amanda for time off of work (maybe for a vacation or a sick-day), but Amanda refused. So, the person asked the boss for time off of work because Amanda refused.

The boss has more authority than Amanda, so they "went over her head" and asked the boss instead.

Hopefully this helps!

A: it could be about Amanda being mostly confused about her own emotions. she might not entirely sure what she feels most of the time.

A: calling someone "old" can mean they are older than the speaker. Or that they are really old in age, maybe even elderly. Or it can be an insult, like some old thing that you don't want anymore.

"pinch-faced" is descriptive. If someone's face is pinched, that means they make a lot of uncomfortable expressions with their face, all pinched and puckered up, like they are always scowling or always sucking on a lemon (something sour). So they always look unhappy, like they want to criticize things and complain a lot. They are never in a good mood.

So "not even old pinch-faced Amanda Wilkenson" means that Amanda Wilkenson is someone they don't like. She is old (or maybe they just don't like her) and she has a pinched expression on her face (like she is always wanting to complain about things). The speaker doesn't like Amanda very much. But the "not even [Amanda Wilkenson" means that even she isn't/doesn't do [whatever the rest of the sentence is about].

So for example:
"The cake was so delicious that not even old pinch-faced Amanda Wilkenson could find anything to complain about." So everyone liked it, even (including) her.

A: Pain in the ass meaans burden.

A: 'a professor' is more correct in this context because a university would usually have more than one professor. You would remove 'a' if there is only one person for the position. Example: Amanda Apple, CEO of ABC company (because there is only one CEO in the company)

A: They are interchangeable. However, I would say "Amanda and Peter visited Taiwan" is more natural.

A: 'wouldn't have been' is what should be in the blank I think

A: A collect call is when someone calls a person and the person receiving the phone call has to pay for the phone charges. In that example, the speaker got a phone call from Amanda in Paris. Because of the distance, the call was expensive.

Collect calls were more common many years ago. If you used a payphone and had no money, you could make a collect call to someone and they would be charged for your phone call if they answered.

A: It refers to Amanda as being from Trailer Park Land (otherwise known as trailer park trash* or white trash), typically poor white people living mostly in the southern United States. Another term is Rednecks. These areas are known for beaten-up old pickup trucks and red dirt roads. (Today four wheel drive vehicles are often high-end vehicles, including pickup trucks, popular with wealthy people, so the description now seems a little off).

*Many very poor people in the US live in trailers (smallish mobile homes), renting space in a trailer park.

A: "babe" REALLY???
------------------

They could both be correct but they have entirely different meanings.

"I am flabbergasted myself."
means
"I, myself, am flabbergasted."
means
"I am flabbergasted, too."

The interviewer expressed some surprise that Angelina Jolie would be on stage with Amanda Gorman. Miss Gorman said she, herself, was also surprised.
In addition to the interviewer, she, herself, was also flabbergasted.

-----------------------

No one would be likely to say
"I am flabbergasted in myself."

A case could be made to say that it would not be grammatically wrong,
but it would have an entirely different meaning that has nothing to do with this video.
If you actually wanted this meaning, it would be better to say
"I flabbergasted myself."
similar to
"I shocked myself."
"I surprised myself."

The meaning would be that
"I did something that surprised me, myself, to such a degree that I am flabbergasted."

None of the three of us who answered your question suggested that she said that.

Yaderade wrote
"I'm flabbergasted myself." (no mention of a word in between "flabbergasted" and "myself")

I wrote that I thought she said
"I am also flabbergasted umm myself." (umm = hesitation sound)

Shadow5YA wrote
"I am also flabbergasted in it myself."

IN IT myself, not IN MYSELF

"I am also flabbergasted in it myself."
means
"I, myself, am also flabbergasted about it."

Any sentence that starts with "I" can have "myself" at the end for emphasis

A: @kriw

Amanda isn’t working this week.

The is-not form informs us that although she is off work this week, it is not a permanent state.

It can't be, because "this week" only happens once. In the entire history of time, there will only ever be one week that is THIS particular week.

That's why - she doesn't work - is incoherent, because do and does refer to permanent, regular things which can be relied upon.

She doesn't work in the evening.
- there is more than one "evening" - they happen every day. So this sentence is correct.

A: ....and I kept SOME in your flowers bowl on the fridge...
