it takes your breath away; it leaves you feeling weak; it surprises you.
(I don't know what conversation you are talking about, so I can't tell you which context is required here.)

It doesn't hurt, but it takes your breath away and leaves you feeling temporarily weak (when you fall out of the top bunk).

a question about listening section #6 (permalink) Sat Jan 01, 2011 12:56 pm   a question about listening section
 

To be honest, I didn't have a clue, however Wikipedia provides this explanation:
Aggie may be a diminutive form of Agricultural, which forms part of the name or historical name of many schools, particularly in the United States.

It seems that the student who says this is majoring in agriculture.
