. You will discover which one of these means “honest” and which one means “toilet”. Can you guess who is who? It may seem strange to you that some first names are used in different ways, but it is quite common in the English language, and you can use these words, too. Some of the meanings are formal and some are slang usages. Comment with a name in your native language that also means something else!

Thank you James for such a funny and interesting lesson!!!
All of a sudden someone patted me on my back with his nicked finger. I thought he was dicking around, but watched me with disdain and said that I will get sued for that. I donned an angry face and instead of paying the bill I hit the john to calm my temper. To be frank with you, it was the weirdest thing I could do. He guy didn’t sue me, because he was just dicking around. Thanks James
Can we say “as he donned his baseball hat” instead of “as he put on his baseball hat?”

I sued a razor manufacturer after i nick with a razor.
I will go to the john after i pay the bill.
Yeah umm.. maybe there’s some mistakes in my answers cause some of this words are new to me. Ok, anyway, I’ve tried too answer as much as I can. Ok. So, first-
# He know dick about the poison dart and he patted
on its back.
# She use to don the clothes that billed a lot.(I’m not confident in this one)
# Hey, I have to frank that I nicked your car accidentally with my bike.
# As a friend, I will frank him not to dick around during exam days
Umm…Actually, I have not ideas anymore.. that’s strange when I actually have to write down, the ideas, they didn’t come out. Yeah.. that’s crazy.
Ok, but, let’s just say-
# He pat a cat of a stranger and it nicked him on his right hand (or maybe to his right hand?)
Ok. Thank you, Sir. I have new words.
#I always pat my dog to behave because he loves to dick around.
2. I don a new coat very smooth to pat.
3. We eat in the restaurant, Our bill is big and I have to go John.
4. Mr. Rudy is a frank guy, I see him in a coffee shop paying his bill.
5. I will play basketball tomorrow, but dad told me that my playmates would dick around.

He doesn’t want pay bill in restaurant, so at the and of our meal he always show dick to the waiter.
