🌺Ten Ways of Talking about Eating🌺
We all like eating - and sometimes we eat too much. When we have guests, we always offer more food. Sometimes we can't eat any more. Here's what to say:
1️⃣I'm full.
2️⃣I couldn't eat another mouthful.
3️⃣I've done very well, thanks.
4️⃣I'll burst if I eat another mouthful.
5️⃣I couldn't manage another mouthful.
6️⃣I'm stuffed.
7️⃣I've had all I can eat.
8️⃣I can hardly move.
9️⃣There's no room for any more.
🔟I can't eat any more, thanks.
Phrase 1 is a very common expression to show you have eaten enough.
Phrase 3 is quite polite.
Phrases 2 and 5 are similar and show you are completely full.
Phrase 4 is a dramatic image - and not a very nice one! - that shows how full you are.
Phrase 6 is very informal and we use it with friends only.
Phrase 7 is quite factual, and is similar to 2 and 5.
Phrases 8, 9 and 10 are all quite neutral expressions and can be used in semi-formal situations and relaxed situations.

🌹Saying somebody's stupid🌹
The English have many interesting phrases for criticising other people's intelligence. We don't generally say them to the other person's face. Be very careful how you use them.
1️⃣A bit thick.
2️⃣A bit dense
3️⃣A total airhead.
4️⃣Not all there.
5️⃣A few bricks short of a full load.
6️⃣Not the sharpest knife in the drawer
7️⃣Thick as two short planks
8️⃣Not accademically gifted
9️⃣A dimwit
🔟Not the smartest.
Phrases 1 and 2 are colloquial ways of saying that somebody is unintelligent.
Phrase 3 suggests that the person has air in their head where their brain should be
Phrases 4 and 5 are probably the most cruel. They suggest that part of the other person's brain is missing.
Phrase 8 is less direct. It states that the other person is not good at studies rather than directly saying they are stupid.
Phrase 9 is slightly old-fashioned but people still use it today.
Phrase 10 is followed by a noun to describe what kind of person you are talking about.. e.g. 'He's not the smartest president'.
