    Sorry people forgive the major ignorance but is the expression “your a riot!” common in the U.S? Is it the English equivalent of “your a scream!”????

    mepal, reminds me of one summer, upstate, my brother had a serious allergic reaction and went into anaphylactic shock. One of the Hatzalah guys who came was this chassidish guy. My little 10 yr old brother is sitting there with an oxygen mask on his face and he says to my brother, “tell me da trut, I don’t bite. Do you feel tight in your choke?” (You really have to hear it with the accent, he still imitates it!)

    lol anonymiss! I just hear the guy saying that!

    mr. noitall, not sure what “your a scream!” means, but first of all, its you’RE and ‘you’re a riot’ is (ruffly speaking) an expression of someone being really funny.

    c) Look for words that sound like a combination of two or more words, then try to come up with a humorous definition that ties them together.

    Thank you for the interest / encouragement.
