How long is "a while" for you?
How far is "go a piece" for distance? How much is "a dab"? Is a "dibby-dab" more or less than "a dab"? "season to taste" - |
I don't know about those, but I tried and tried to convince DH that a "couple" means two, exactly two, and is not the same as "a few."
|
A while means whenever I get ready to do it. Go a piece is about five minutes walking. A dab is less then a lot but more then a little.
|
A while and a dab are the only ones I am familiar with. A while is 'in my own sweet time', and a dab is a bit more than a pinch. Season to taste for me is add a pinch of salt. My hummingbird tongue doesn't like much!
|
As an addition that list, we can't forget the infamous -
................... ASAP! Then how about the number of times you are told on the phone, ... "Just give me a second" ...... or "I'll just be a minute" .........or "I'll be right back to you" Only to be left on hold for ........... how llllllllllong?? *sigh*! :) |
Season to taste is how I want it to taste if I'm cooking it.
|
that is the way my son gives me driving directions.
|
a while-----when I get ready to get up and do it
go a piece-----until I get tired a dab------quick touch,not much also, waiting on hold what does one moment please mean???? 10 min, 20 min, I have done both |
How 'bout a tad, a skosh, a dash, or "un poquito"?
|
A while…about an hour. Go a piece….half mile to a mile. A dab ….just a smidge. A dibbly dab….twice as much as a dab. season to taste…..no salt in any recipe until it is on the plate.
Is your dollop, a heaping tablespoon or other? |
