What does "He's just being difficult" mean in the above post?

[Giant Tope]

Being difficult is a phrase meaning that a person is being disruptive, usually for unimportant reasons.

Thanks but what does "being disruptive" mean ?

[Giant Tope]

unplanned, negative deviation from the expected outcome

[WarpSpeed]

"Being difficult" means the person knows what you are looking for but gives you something different just to be annoying or mildly funny.

Example: One man asks, "Do you know what time it is?" Second man answers, "Yes," and walks off. Second man knew that the first man wanted to know what the time was, but second man just decided to be difficult instead of telling the first man what time it was.

Your help was useless, I don't know what are you talking about





I was just kiding, thanks a lot

Am I now kind of "Being difficult" ?

So then "Being difficult" means that I know what is your mean but just saying you What the hell are you talking about ?

[Darth Marsden]

Not quite. If you're being difficult to someone, then you are deliberately preventing them from getting the information they need.

Example - I ask what day it is. If you know it's, say, Tuesday, but tell me the wrong answer on purpose, or you just don't tell me at all, then you're being difficult because you're getting in the way of the answer.

Sorry but I'll do mind



Thanks guys, Now I know what "being difficult" means

Hi, I have a new question
What does "reckon" mean in following sentence ?
"I reckon you didn't do it,then."

[coolsome]

Same as think like If you reckon someone wouldn't finish a hard game then you wouldn't think they would be able to.

[Darth Marsden]

In this instance, it would mean the same thing as 'believe'.

So "I reckon you didn't do it" is the same as "I believe you didn't do it".

[N7.]

For example

I reckon It was a good idea to asking my questions in a place like this!
I reckon Telltale should just work on The walking dead
I reckon America is the best country

Correct?

[Darth Marsden]

So, you think asking these questions was a good idea, Telltale should be making more Walking Dead games and America is awesome? ...eh, one out of three isn't too bad, I guess...

But yeah, you got it.

[N7.]

exactly,.. thanks
What does "fellas" mean?

does "I've driven a buncha'"... mean "I've driven a bunch of " ?

[Darth Marsden]

Fellas is slang for a group of people. For example, you could greet a bunch of friends by saying "Hey fellas!".

And yes, buncha is another way of saying bunch of. You're catching on.

[WarpSpeed]

Fellas is just a way of spelling fellows the way some people say it. That and reckon (and probably buncha) are using a Southern U.S. accent. Reckon is a real word, but the rest are just attempts at spelling the way someone is talking.

Hi again, it's been a while after my last visit, I've been working on a game but I've had some problem for establishing a game studio, For now I'm just trying to establish a game studio to continue my way.

Anyway, I have some more questions here
My problem is the usage of the word "Fancy"
I want you correct me if I'm wrong!
A fancy chair means an expensive and pretty chair
But in the following sentence
If you're fancy means If you like! correct ?
Or it's mean If you are a person with tend to expensive and pretty things?

Please help thanks.

[Darth Marsden]

OK, the word fancy has several different meanings, but we'll look at the examples you use.

"A fancy chair" means impressive or extravagant.

The phrase "If you fancy" (not "if you're fancy") is the same as saying 'if you want to' or, as you say, 'if you like'.
