      When you out there without an umbrella and it starts raining.

      "Yes I like Pina Coladas
      And getting caught in the rain
      I'm not much into health food
      I am into champagne"

          Oh, this is a very famous song by Rupert Holmes. It's called "Escape (The Pina
          Colada Song)". Quite possibly the most clever song ending the 70's (mostly
          swinging sex and class A drugs).

          PS: Wait a sec... Are you getting ready for Shrek's visit?? :) This song AND
          Mother Flether ARE in Shrek II, aren't they? :)))

                Ok My Dear Ines, can you also help me with those phrases? The difficulty is ,
                that I am never sure, if they have additional, slang or idiomatic meaning.
                1) shut-in
                2)capewearing girl
                3)loaded pistol
                Thank you, M.

                  Without a context it might be tricky but let's see...

                  1) shut-in = someone who is ill and cannot go outside. Can be used as an
                  adjective to describe sb somewhat introverted.

                  2) cape-wearing girl = could it be Little Red Riding Hood? :)

                  3) loaded pistol = I'd take it literally as it is. "Loaded" alone can however
                  have some slang connotations, for example "drunk" or "wealthy".

                      i see you're writing from france. What are you studing there?
                      it can't be english if you ponder over such simple expressions.
