This is a short story that I made up, can you understand all the slang and idioms? You can often hear these type of phrases in American movies or dramas. Enjoy! -Melissa
“AMERICAN LOVE STORY”
Last Spring, Mr. Washington found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him. He was very heart broken, and he had to break up with her. To ease the pain, he decided to take a trip to Hawaii to get laid.
Unfortunately, after he got to Hawaii, he could not find any chicks that he liked. But suddenly, he found a girl named Marie on Waikiki beach. He immediately had a big crush on her because she was very kind and beautiful. He couldn’t help hitting on her.
Mr. Washington asked Marie, “Will you go out with me?”
She replied, ” I’m sorry, I am already seeing someone.”
Mr. Washington was very disappointed, but he was still sprung. He returned to NY, and he never forgot about her.

とこのようにこの短い文章の中には
映画などでの頻出スラング？がありました。
コメディー系映画などを観る時に注意しているとしょっちゅう出て来るので面白いですよ。
是非頭の片隅にw
