Oh, come on. Why do you have to be such a kill joy.
Correct answer: (a) joy
What does kill joy mean is it sb who don’t know how to have fun and party? And my second question conected with sentence “That’s not fair. You know full well (full well means know very well??) what it feels like to be worried sick when everyone else is laughing at you” What does worried sick mean?(it is when you worry so much and become sick because of your worries:)? Thx bye!!!
Many thanks for your questions - with Alan touring Italy for the next couple of days, it’s my turn to communicate with you.
Yes, you are right, a kill joy is a person who cannot enjoy themselves and that’s why they cause cause grief to others too. Another word with similar meaning is spoilsport.
Also, you are right about the meaning of your second phrase. If you know something full well you know it to a complete extend, you know it entirely.
Finally, to be worried sick. You are right again, when you very so much that you might get sick, you are worried sick.[YSaerTTEW443543]

Mr Torsten wrote ,…kill joy is a person who cannot enjoy themselves’’ - shouldn’t it be:, kill joy is a person who cannot enjoy herself/himself’’? thanks
I think it depends on the register you’re using. In the formal register, it’s better to say “a person who cannot enjoy herself or himself”; on the contrary, in an informal one, the pronoun “themselves” is more commonly used.
