what I am trying to say!" I want you to be the real you! :: You’re so full of it, man! If you tell a person they are "full of it," you’re saying that they are saying a lot of nonsense (or more colloquially, bullshit). Lao-tse said when the foolish man hears of the Tao, he laughs out loud. A "foolish" person is one who is always doing silly or stupid things, and does not understand some basic truths. I swear you just make this stuff up as you go along. In this case, "to swear" is to believe without hesitation. "To make stuff up" is to create things from your own head, weather true or not. What is too hard? Not coming on to women? Trying to be an excellent human being? "To come on to" a woman is to try and seduce or attract her. This guy was set...and wandered down the road of enlightenment. In this case, if a person is "set," his life is going very well. "To wander" is to travel with no particular destination or goal, and "enlightenment" is the condition of having great understanding or wisdom. Dex and Syd and Rick and Maggie go camping... I’m sorry. I just assume everything you do has an ulterior motive. An "ulterior motive" is the real or secret goal of a person when doing something, that is usually not spoken or discussed. We’re going camping; I don’t suppose you want to come? An occasional alternative to think or believe. Shut the fuck up! A very crude way of telling a person to be quiet! I just stopped to check out this conifer tree. "To check out" something is to look at it carefully. So, what’s the deal with you and Beth. :: No deal; we’re just friends. A slangy way of saying "What’s going on with you and Beth?" I thought I sensed something. In this case, "to sense" something is to feel, think or suspect it. She was tense...because she went to the pound and got this puppy and Ed’s not a dog person. If a person is "tense," they are nervous or anxious. The "pound" is a place where dogs and cats are kept. Women like to save things and men like to draw boundaries. Another word for borders or limits. I can’t believe you sold me all that puppy bullshit. A classic word for lies and nonsense (Note the use of the verb to sell). I don’t have a lot of hang-ups, but monogamy is one of them. A "hang-up" is a moral issue that a person feels very strongly about, such as sex or drugs. "Monogamy" is the practice of having only one sexual partner at a time. Do you think we ought to leave a trail of bread crumbs? A "trail" is a path, or in this case, a line. "Bread crumbs" are tiny pieces of bread, in this case used to help find the people who left them. Do you guys ever think your marriage is an obstacle to you guys reaching enlightenment? An "obstacle" is anything that blocks or prevents you from reaching a goal
