hi,
today i wrote a letter (to an old aquaintance, whom i
don't know very good), in which i wanted to describe a situation, where
someone laughed VERY intensely - and because my english is kinda bad, i
googled for a funny idiom. i found & used 'he laughed his ass off',
which was described as 'slang-idiom'. after i sent the letter i
suddenly found another description, saying that this is not
colloquial or slang, but vulgar! this shocked me a lot, because i
wanted to be funny, and the use of slang-language is really ok for me -
but i did NOT AT ALL want to be vulgar! so i feel very embarrased now..
can you ease my sorrow - or NOT?
thanks a lot for your help!
