what does 'get hitched' mean?

1 : “They must have gotten hitched” means “they must have got married”
2 : “I’m chewing chewing gum” correct?
3 : “I never lie come what may” correct?
4 : “He has lots of floors” What does it mean?
5 : “I’m feeling leftout” what does it mean?
6 : “He is a dorky or dork”? which one should be used?

thanks

Which one you would prefer –

  1. He is a dork.

  2. He is dorky.

Yes, I expect the otherwise this time. I don’t have context with me. I would like to know in which context I should use the given sentences and the difference between them.

There is little difference in practice between those two sentences. In theory, “dorky” means dork-like, so it could be a bit weaker, “not really a dork but resembling a dork”. The adjective can also be used with things, actions.

I do not understand this.

The next sentences describe what does it mean :wink:

“I don’t have context with me. I would like to know in which context I should use the given sentences and the difference between them.”

Back to the context, you mean use noun to appear strong?

I’m afraid I still don’t understand it, at all. What does “the otherwise” mean? “Otherwise” is an adverb, how can it have “the”? But perhaps it doesn’t matter, I hope you don’t think I criticise you out of malice.

Yes, although the difference might be very slight in many contexts. As you no doubt know, “context” is often used as an evasion when someone doesn’t know what the exact rules are, or even whether there are such.

I thought ‘the’ is making it definite reference as I was continuing with the context thing.

Why would you do that? :wink:

You can do that only with a (substantive) noun.
So, what you meant was “the other thing”, “the other context”, or what exactly? And what did it refer to? Other than what was it? I could not reconstruct what it referred to from the overall context. Again, if you don’t feel like persuing this, just tell me to drop it, that’s fine.

Erm, because human beings are evil by nature?
