Dear Teachers,

1. You should do it where it won't be noticeable. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you.

- "other than that" here means "beside that", right?

2. Why is it so hard to french kiss someone?

- In my dictionary, "french kiss" is noun, not verb, but why do we use it as a verb here?

3. A: Hey man! what's your pleasure today?

    B: I don't wanna drink anything today.

- " What's your pleasure today" here means "would you like something to drink today?", right?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

 Stevenukd.

- "other than that" here means "beside that", right? Yes.

2. Why is it so hard to french kiss someone?

- In my dictionary, "french kiss" is noun, not verb, but why do we use it as a verb here? Nouns can be frequently verbified.

3. A: Hey man! what's your pleasure today?

    B: I don't wanna drink anything today.

- " What's your pleasure today" here means "would you like something to drink today?", right?

No, it's what would you like to drink/order.

You can think of "to french kiss someone" as "to french-kiss someone".
