informal language, so do not use these words

when you write a personal statement or a letter

Phrase number two and i recently heard it from my friends

is you wanna see your friends, you can call them and say

literally like rubbing elbows when you rubbing it with another people

When you say something in a conversation but you

don't want people to attribute this phrase to you

you can say"Let's keep this off the record"

you can say the phrase, don't quote me on that.

and other phrase or something that you can see

when you're driving around America  is "kiss and fly" and I flew

when I went into San Francisco,I saw a   silencing kiss and fly

literally this means  that there is a train,

this is a funny phrase, I really like it.

When you are reading an article.The article blames

something or somebody.And you don't think that's true

You can say: the article insinuates that and then you tell about the content

So, basically  to insinuate means suggest something bad/
