I need an expression
|
hi!!!
I �m teaching a group of adults, and as they are very funny, responsible and great people, I finish my classes with a slang (something silly just to have fun) related to what you have been studying.
Today I �m explaining the causative. this morning I had some free time, and I had my hair cut..... The problem is that the hairdresser cut it toooooooooooooo short!! so, my question is, Is there any informal expression to say that the  hairdresser cut my hair and now I �m almost bald????????????
thanks!!
Yams

Hi Yams
you could say; "I had a charity hair cut-donated my hair to the needy."
If they ask who the needy are you can always say, "The hairdresser and his wife."
One we used a lot as kids was "I fell alseep in the garden while dad was mowing the lawn." |
