Car with automatic tranny..., Drived car with automatic tranny this saturday first time in my life.. Options

[OOBE]

The Celi is gay because if you don't have power, the shifter will not move out of P. A few months ago, my battery died because the rectifier from the alternator went bad, and I accidentaly put it in P. WRONG move...I had to leave the car where it was, LOL. Came back and there was a crowd eyeing it...

laughing my f***ing a** off

??

not helped much... still no sense for me... direct translation:

laughing = smiling, no problem...
my = my is my, no question about it
f***ing = "damned"
a** off = support, enforcement... etc.

...so for me that means: smiling my damned support...

This is a funny thread because my celi is auto haha and i know what your talking about, everytime i drive a stick and then hop back in my car i feel like im taking the bus to work or something.. no interaction with the car at all.

and that exactly is most discovering for me . Have you drived manual tranny before?

In english "ass" means the thing you sit on and it's not a chair. So if you are laughing your ass off, something must be pretty funny. Technically it's a swear, so use it accordingly. What is your native language? It's neat that you can talk about cars and learn english at the same time. That's my kind of learning.

I know what the "ass" means , but confusing for me was "ass off" phrase. Is it or is it not some phrasal verb or something? Like... "turn off" or "cut up", because "ass off" in English-to-Czech dictionary means support, enforcement .

However, you are right, this forum is one big english lesson for me and I really appreciate when people try explan me english "conversational" phrases

About my language (if you are not interested just skip paragraph below )
Czech language is West-Slavonian language and it's really simmilar to Polish and Slovakian language (I can understand 90% of anything they say). More different are East-Slavonian languages (example Russian language) and South-Slavonian languages (example Bulgarian, Croatian, Serbian languages). I can undersnad about 40% and bit imagination is needed for this . And English? Total different language for me just about 1% words are similar...
education ended

thanks Cutrara

That's neat, so it's sort of like how spanish and italian are close.
