Slang isn’t always
easy to understand in a language, especially if you are still learning it. The
other day I was talking with one of my international friends who is still
taking ESL courses, and I said something about “park the car” because the emoji
that I got in the previous text was a fist. When asked for the meaning, I said
it meant “fist bump”. That was met with further confusion, so I sent a picture
of the results that showed up on Google, because I couldn’t figure out how to
describe what a fist bump is. Really, all I needed to say was that a fist bump
is when two or more people bump their fists together. This is one example of
those funny times when you know the meaning of something, but you can’t figure
out how to make it go into words.
