Wet bar

Who taught: Alen and Leslie

Wet Bar (source: http://good-times.webshots.com/)

I have been hunting my house for the last two months. It takes a lot of my time but it is kind of fun to look around bunch of different houses with different architectures. It is hard to find houses having the same floor flan in the U.S. And, another interesting thing is that many houses have a space called a family room. They are usually in the lower level. Some nice houses have a bar along with the family room. But, if the bar does not have a sink with running water. Then it is a dry bar. If it has, then it becomes a wet bar. I heard that expression from Leslie when I went to see a house with her. Looking at the bar and hearing what she was talking about, it was pretty easy for me to understand what she meant. But, if someone says the expression in the middle of any kind of conversation, I would be puzzled. I would probably guess the expression to mean a bar where people are getting wet. Why wet? I do not know. Maybe they are all going crazy, drinking beer or cocktails, and throw drinks to each other. Or, there is some sort of sprays on the ceiling of the bar? It actually sounds like fun to be in that kind of bar in summer. Sounds like a great business idea! Don’t you think?

I might have not been able to remember the expression if I only hear it from Leslie but I heard it again, watching a TV show, Two and a Half Men. In the show, Alen used this expression to his new girl friend, saying “I want to make a wet bar in your house. Can I?”

Speaking of an expression that have “wet” in it, I learned another one from my friends. (Forgot who it was. Maybe Andrew or Jake?) So… I would say almost all of men in the world experienced this, especially when they are teenagers. Waking up in the morning, you have experienced that something is wet around your testicles, haven’t you? No?  Oh… come on! Let’s be honest! A lot of times, this happens with those dreams with hot girls, right? Now, let’s make an expression. That’s right. The expression is “wet dream.” Whenever I see or hear this kind of expression, I feel like I can say whatever I think of, combining some words. But, then when I do that, my American friends would be like, “No, we don’t say like that.” What the heck? Don’t you want to try to your American friends? Try it! They will tell you the same thing. “Hey dude! That sounds weird.”
