Your link points to a page with a video of a child having a temper tantrum on a train. I could not watch it because (a) the site was loading too slowly and (b) I couldn’t stand listening to the child crying.
I can testify that a child “was in the middle walking aisle on a train” having a temper tantrum and lying on his back kicking his feet around. Can you help me to understand this sentence? How? What would be a hypothetical example of “threw around a slipper”?
-
Child threw his slipper like a baby. What would be cause of the first incident of throwing could have been from kicking his feet while he was on his back? The slipper likely landed in the child’s immediate vicinity. What is meant by throwing?
-
The child retrieved his slipper and threw it again, this time with his hand. What is the second throw that doesn’t have to be anywhere in particular; it could have been thrown onto the floor near himself or on the hoop.
-
What happens if you throw every now and then in the middle of the field, but spit in the backfield and hit the ground at the middle of the field? If there was only one throw, “throw around” could be considered an exaggeration.
What is the kind of scenario to which one might describe the incident with “threw around a slipper” etc.? In this Is looking at the sentence as a speech act instead of just a declaritive statement.
The meaning of throw around in this case is “to throw multiple times in an indiscriminate manner”.
What is your opinion on the recent ‘I believe you get worse and this is your personal story’?

Asked on March 8, 2021 in Meaning.
Broadly defined means “defined at a high-level, which may be overly simplistic”.
From Understanding Life in the Borderlands “Borderlands in Depth and In Motion” : Three broadly defined groups are at play in the River Valley: Jordanian citizens… Israel citizens…and Palastinians… .
What’s the importance of those three periods of European History, which can be defined as the classic period, which were wiped out by the Renaissance, when they became more advanced, or the industrial period, and the Modern Era (underdevelopment by the Roman Empire)? Over time, Western Art and Music can be broadly defined as belonging to each of these periods.
Broad Definitions are often used as a starting point for giving a simplified overview, perhaps with further details and refinements to follow.

I can straighten this out. What is the twist at the end of the movie?
Is John Gray’s story unfair to Richard Dawkins? The Sun, Oct. 28 (Coyne, Oct. 25). (coyne, Oct. 27) “Nusasman” 2014 p. 4. What is the connection between Jerry Coyne, the
-
author, and the New York Times?
-
John Gray is an atheist, the Lead Book Reviewer of New Statesman, a book writer, and a philosopher.
-
Richard Dawkins is an atheist, a regular columnist and Dec 2011 Guest Editor for New Statesman, a book writer and an evolutionary biologist. Currently, Dawkins is attending U.S. International conferences on biology, anthropology, ecology, and human biology.
Did I mention that all of them are atheists, have financial ties to the New Statesman and are book writers? I just wanted to make sure you got that, in case you didn’t. Good.
Why’s this book Dawkins writes…? Gray condemns Dawkins in a New Republic article (which is published two days later in New Statesman). In the New Statesman article you reference, Coyne bashes Gray for bashing Dawkins. Is it worth it? I’m friends with the people
that Dwight Gray is and that I’m actually an atheist. Like Dave Johnson, Gray hates that Dwight wants to be politically conservative with the people that he hates. Gray is NOT racist. Because Gray calls Dawkins an atheist, Gray doesn’t like the kind of atheist that Dawkins is. And Coyne doesn’t like Gray because he’s bashing his friend, Dawkins, and he’s saying, “No need to get all testy, attack ideas, not character” And Coyne doesn’t like the kind of atheist that Gray is, because Gray is a let’s all be friends and tolerant-with-religious-folk atheist. ” And Coyne doesn’t like the kind of atheist that Gray is, because Gray is a “honest” atheist.
What does the Coyne Callist Gray? Oh, Boy, who is up for a vote! MAJOR ATHEIST INSIDE-JOKE SLAM-DUNK PUT DOWN! “You’re not a real atheist” You’re a religious freak. You’re a FAITH-eist. I
really love you, and I can laugh now…?
Who is a Faitheist?
-
(See also http://en.wiktionary.com/site.php/ ) org/wiki/Citations:faitheist#English) It’s
a derogatory term that “radical” atheists can use to put-down “moderate” atheists. (I’m from pakistan) Are there any people who will call themselves to be the faithiest today? If so, how?
Coyne is hurting the second time. “Get your facts straight” is a good idiom when Coyne would have said it to Gray, he said this when he said something antifactual. And Coyne says “get your story straight” which is an idiomatic accusation that Gray is lying. (A “story” can be something “made up” which can be a lie.) And while the semantic context makes it clear that Coyne found a factual fault, the idiom pulls the meaning toward the lying connotation. (Apart from the antagonist/threat) Coyne is using a subtle character attack and what are the best ways to attack him?
Personally, I think if one were to dig a little deeper, one might be able to figure out some type of connection between all these guys to show it’s just a big money game to increase book and magazine sales.

What is the use of the colon? It’s acting as an introductory address similar to To Whom It May Concern:.
Is it ok to write something on reddit? I’m not familiar with Sub Reddit, only where they talk about Subs. Honestly I may be deleting it then. Why would you not hate Leo
- Messi?
Also note the declaration “To all…” X: (in a sentence) you’re the one talking to people. You don’t quote yourself or mention anyone else too?
If the expression is indeed the same as the phrasing is, slight changes can be preferred to convey different meanings. I love Leo Messi and hate other team members. I hate all the players on his team. What would it look like to be there? In your defense, you want to point out the absurdity of hating someone simply because they are on a team. If he is a
- Chelsea or a City player, why would you hate him? Why?
On the other hand, let’s say he’s thinking about moving, and you want to know if his fans will stop being his fans merely because he’s playing for another rival team. Should I hate Leo
- Messi if he joins Chelsea or Manchester City?

There’s no wrong in a dictionary. “As a boy, right is right.”
As you can see from the following sentences, two wrongs not make a good.
- Why doesn’t two wrongs make a right?
- Does there really have to be two wrongs in man to make a right?
- Why does good and bad not mean right?
- Why don’t two wrongs make a right? What would you recommend for a beginner in reading RFPs?

- Why can’t two wrong s make a right? Which
is more correct or more proper? Why can’t you flip a coin? Usually some person flips a coin but some goes off like a coin, each has its own merits and cons. Why don’t two wrongs make a right? Why is #1 not OK?
Why is “wrong” a plural “wrong”?
Is there any opportunity for collaboration (of others) in India to develop our knowledge in the technology sector?
