	Delmobile  +  470614 Wed, 30 Jan 08 03:35 PM "Talk about your...." is an expression that serves to introduce an anecdote or example. It's meant as emphasis. How was the flight? The flight? It was horrible.. Talk about your turbulence. They couldn't even serve the drinks - the ice was jumping out of the glasses. I guess the best way to explain it is, it's sort of a condensation of : "You want to talk about your example of turbulence; well, my story can top anything you've got to say." "Man" is an expression of wonder or disbelief similar to "good heavens," yes. It can be used alone: "Man, I can't believe you paid that much" with "oh:" "Oh man, we're in trouble now" or as in your example, "man oh man." You can even add another if you like: "Oh, man oh man oh man. What the *** are we going to do now?" Delmobile Joined on Wed, Jan 2 2008 Contributing Member 1,082

"Ghosts" can also refer to things in one's past that one would rather forget.  "Skeletons" is also used in this sense. Philip Joined on Thu, Jun 23 2005 Veteran Member 8,733 At reise er at leve! - H.
