You probably mean '?Comprende/s eso?' (Do you understand that?). 'Eso' means 'that'. |

Well, don't know many English slangs . But I think they are too funny. Hi, Tom, why do you call the police as "pigs", it sounds too........ehehehe. To us non-English speakers , I think, we should avoid making uneccessary troubles when we "slang",right?  |

Hi Conchita!
No slangy English but a pretty nice expression in French came to my mind. You probably know it:
petit chou/petit chou fleur de bretagn? Whereat the second one might be used carefully as it sounds like it would be an exaggeration, doesn?t it?
