MONICA: So what, you're not the only one. I mean, half the time we don't know where we're going.You've just gotta figure at some point it's all gonna *come together*, and it's just gonna be... un-floopy.
what does "come together" mean here?
I couldn't find the word "floopy" in the dictionary,is it a real word and what does it mean?
-----------------------------
CHANDLER: Listen, it's kind of an emergency. Well, I guess you know that, or we'd be in the predicament room.
What is a predicament room?
Thanks! |

"It's all going to come together" means that everything will work out OK despite the problems along the way.
Yes, "floopy" is a made-up word. It's meaning has to come from the context, so in this case, it must mean "something that ends up very badly."
I assume they're in the Emergency Room of a hospital? Chandler is mocking himself for announcing that they have an emergency to the people running the ER. "Of course they know it's an emergency," he's thinking to himself. "If it were simply a predicament, we'd have gone the (non-existent) Predicament Room." |
