The British expression, in turn, is a corruption of the Persian or Urdu chiz (or cheez), "thing," that the British brought back from ...
11. You're too clever a man to imagine this. The above sentence was said by George Galloway, a man of excellent rhetorical skills. Since he said it, I doubt it's wrong, grammatically.

22. Juni 2015 · Instead of a "manned mission" or "manning a station" please consider a "crewed mission" or "crewing a station". The Navy has an interesting expression if you want to tell some to "man their station and get to work." You tell them to "Turn to, Shipmate."

5. Mai 2014 · I suppose you want a name for a man who behaves or does things that a 'bitch' is expected to do. Looks like people don't expect a man, not even a 'dickhead' or a 'bastard' to do the things a 'bitch' would do. So I'd call him that bitchy 'bastard' or that bitchy 'dickhead' or that 'bitchy'asshole.

19. Apr. 2015 · In my view, "… not that big of a deal” is always incorrect. "… not that big a deal” might just sometimes work. "… not a big deal” is correct.
