To celebrate Black History Month Dear Principal John Deacon put this idiom in the weekly memo.
"Get Out of My Face"
This is an African American expression. It is a saying that you might use if someone is standing too close to you, bugging you, disagreeing with you and disapproving of your actions. You would say this to get him to move away quickly before they get hurt. The expression is used usually in anger. When someone is in your face and you think you might get angry, you could say, "Get out of my face," to help prevent a fight or accident.
Nice. Only someone with a severe mental illness will think this a good choice of idioms. But whilst on the subject, SBSB as come across other idioms that Dear Principal John Deacon plans to use to celebrate other cultures.
For Israeli Independence Day:
"Jewdown"
This is an expression Jewish-Americans use when they want to get a better price. For instance, "I am going to Jewdown the salesman on the price of the Buick."
For St Patrick's Day:
"What will I drink for dinner?"
This is an expression that Irish-Americans say on St Patrick's Day. As in, "I am so drunk, what will I drink for dinner?"
For Columbus Day:
"Hey, Shutupa Your Face!"
Italian-Americans are fond of this expression. When they are about to whack someone, or part of the crew is being annoying, someone will say, "Hey, Shutupa Your Face!"
Thank you so much Dear Principal John Deacon showing the world what a narrow, twisted, tormented person you truly are.
