what 's the meaning of " worm guys" and " whim guys " and " brackety " ?
what 's the meaning of " I cannot feel my legs" here ?
thank you !
[Scene: Ross's Apartment, the guys are there assembling furniture.]
Ross: (squatting and reading the instructions) I'm supposed to attach a brackety thing to the side things, using a bunch of these little worm guys. I have no brackety thing, I see no whim guys whatsoever and- I cannot feel my legs. |

Zeppy, he is referring to various parts of whatever it is he is assembling. By referring to the some parts as 'worm guys,' for example , he is referring to parts that look a little like worms. (More likely a person would choose to say 'worm things,' but Joey's role on the show is 'to be cute.')
I cannot feel my legs - his legs have 'gone numb' (= 'have gone to sleep') because of squatting for so long while reading the instructions.
Hope that helps. |
