Could some one please give me the "basic" explanation of "de mo" then tie it to this explanation? I think I somewhat intuitively understand what "de mo" means, but could use a refresher explanation to tie it together thanks It seems that “de mo” in this lesson is being explained as contextual expansion on what a learner would have already learned about “de mo”.

Some of the worst I have heard (emphasizing heard here) that are clean include: Can I have your last nine digits? Good thing I remembered my library card coz I am checking you out. and more and much worse... Now, I am not totally innocent here I have been know to say on occasions when I see a pretty girl about to light a cigarette: Beautiful girls don't light their own cigarettes (then I light the cigarette) It gets a laugh and I get to chat to the girl - but I don't smoke. Which means, yes, I am hitting on them - but it isn't the worst line in the world:roll: Naomi-san there are too many bad lines.

I found it funny when Peter said "If you're listening at this level...". I understood next to nothing :) At least it gives me motivation but I am certainly not there yet.

We use 「お茶飲みませんか？」 to our friends to invite for some tea. And when we say tea, it doesn't necessarily have to be tea. It could be any kinds of beverages except alcohol.

Great! Nanpa! Nanpa! Nanpa! But did Peter say an 80 year old teacher tried to reverse-nampa him? Wow. :shock: I’ve been waiting for a lesson like this! Great! Nanpa! Nanpa! Nanpa!
