to make a horse ass out of myself by asking....

Definition

<– Back to results

make an ass of yourself INFORMAL
to behave stupidly and look ridiculous:
Simon always makes a complete ass of himself when he's had too much to drink.



tush 一般知道的是諸如象牙之獠牙
不過 美國在20世紀中從猶太人語言中引入另外發音 不同意思的 tush
即 表示"屁股" 所以 kick tush 的意思是 類似績效或成績太差 "要打屁股"

趁機會學一下英文中對於"屁股"的許多"別稱":

The noun tush has one meaning:

Meaning #1: the fleshy part of the human body that you sit on
Synonyms: buttocks, nates, arse, butt, backside, bum, buns, can, fundament, hindquarters, hind end, keister, posterior, prat, rear, rear end, rump, stern, seat, tail, tail end, tooshie, bottom, behind, derriere, fanny, ass
