A Short Message for Lilia Brito

Lilia,
In your comment you said that you did not understand what I meant by "head of". I did not write "head of"; I wrote "head off". The title of my conversation book is "Talk Your Head Off". "Talk your head off" is also an IDIOM in English. It means to TALK VERY MUCH.

Example: The politician spoke for two hours from the podium. I thought he would never shut up! He "talked his head off"! (Use your electronic dictionary to find "politician" and "podium".)
