#Paint the town red saying movie#
If your friends ask you to the cinema to catch a flick, they are asking you to see a movie with them. You might even pull an all-nighter and stay out for the whole night! Catch a flick Painting the town red means to have a fun-filled night out. Time to party! Go out with your friends and paint the town red! Red symbolizes fun and excitement. If you don’t eat meat, you can go to a veggie (vegetarian) joint and if you don’t eat any animal products, you can go to a vegan joint. We can use the word ‘joint’ to talk about other places to eat, too. A fast-food joint is a great place to have a pizza or a burger, and relax.

Chow down at a fast-food jointĬhow down simply means to eat. The next time somebody asks you to go to the park and shoot some hoops, don’t worry, they just want to have a game of basketball with you! In the UK, where soccer is more popular than basketball, you could go for a kickaround (play soccer) with your friends. Make sure you don’t get too tempted to buy things, though! Shoot some hoops A great way to have fun without spending money. This doesn’t mean that you are are shopping for windows! Window-shopping means looking through shop windows or browsing in stores without buying anything. Sometimes people call a cup of coffee a cup of Java and in the UK, people often call a cup of tea or coffee a cuppa. No – you don’t need a friend called Joe! A cup of joe is just a cup of coffee. Be careful to use sunscreen (cream to protect your skin) or you might get sunburnt! Enjoy a cup of joeĬafes are the perfect place to talk with your friends over a cup of joe. Another similar expression is to sunbathe, which means to lie in the sun until you get a sun tan (your skin goes browner).

The beach or the park is the ideal place to enjoy the sun with people you know. Prefer the outdoors? Get outside and catch a few rays (enjoy the sunshine) at the beach.
