STEEL= A metal which is an alloy of iron and carbon, very hard, cold and stainless (it never rusts). So you are not prepared to distinguished between what's good and what's bad, you're completely lost.ĬAN YOU TELL.= Again, we have the same expression but in a different form: CAN YOU TELL -A- FROM -B-?, which means, "do you know the difference between -a- and -be-?Ī GREEN FIELD= A piece of cultivated land covered with grass. Again, I think you don't know the difference between a nice feeling or situation (blue skies) and a bad feeling or situation (pain). Kevin is really stupid, he can't tell a television from a poster on the wall.īLUE SKIES FROM PAIN= The complete sentence would be " so you think you can tell blue skies from pain?". I can't tell a male cat from a female cat, they look exactly the same to me. The expression TELL -A- FROM -B- means: know the difference, distinguish. TELL HEAVEN FROM HELL= Know the difference between right and wrong. SO YOU THINK YOU CAN.?= This is a common ironic expression that in fact means "I don't think you can.".
