From Roel:

I think this already a common phrase, or isn’t, it?

Grease Monkey

Grease Monkey: a person that is a mechanic

 

Homage to the first Transformers movie. Whilst the 3rd movie is already on screen since June 29.

Give a Hand

Give somebody a hand to help someone do something, especially something that involves physical effort (often + with )

(thefreedictionary.com)

Everybody and their Grandma

What you say when there are a lot of people.
usually only used when a lot of people have a certain article of clothing or in the same place.

Don’t use if with someone over the age of 60, or with someone you are trying to impress with your intellect. (The Urban Dictionary)

I Get it Comics in the spotlight

~

Comics are considered “childish” or something not serious but for this group that consist of  Mifta Anggi Angguni, R. Adelina Fauzie, and Lukki Retno Ambarsari from the Atma Jaya Catholic University, I Get It became a case study presented at the International Conference on Translation and Interpretation Studies or TransCon 2011 held by the The Applied English Linguistics Program (LTBI), Graduate School of Atma Jaya Catholic University(for further reading go here: http://ltbiatmajaya.blogspot.com/).

The Paper being presented is: The Analysis of Idiom Translation in Relation with Semantics Theory (Theory of Meanings) Case Study: Idioms Used in Comics

Miss Adelina presenting the team's paper

I haven’t got the details yet on how the presentation went or what is it all about, but probably I’ll be hearing more from the team in the near future.

Thanks to Miss Adel and friends
