[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] ??? decidedly concave chest This is also intended to imply that this person is physically weak or perhaps cowardly. It's bad posture, really, the slouched shoulders of these music icons. ???sleazy-looking = apparently worn or heavily used? You are right about it meaning worn or heavily used, but it can also imply a cheapness. That it is a product of shody workmanship. ???? makes boys chew carpet ? is it a common expression (or an idiom) or would you recommend to translate this literally? It's an idiom. It means she's got a totally incredible body. I don't know whether it would translate literally. You could change it to '...You've got a body makes boys cry.' ???braise The cooking procedure came from the real metal-craft thing. Braising is a process like welding or soldering. It's a process commonly used in plumbing, but here apparently in metal-working artisanship. You use a torch to melt brass to weld two pieces of metal together (or to coat a single piece of metal as I think is happening here.) ??? Ragged = cut unevenly ??? broken - I feel the resonance with the "broken" in the next sentence, I just want to be sure - it was "ragged" or "misaligned", right? The first instance is refering to actual jaggedly broken teeth. The second sentence I think is more referring to the person's state of mind. This person is 'broken' in the head or in an altered state of reality. Crazy or perhaps as she guesses he's on some sort of drug. [/QB][/QUOTE]
