Dear Teachers,

1. He told me me that he had too many dates from hell in the last few years.
- �dates from hell� means �terrible dates�, right?

2. She�s sick of meeting cheapskates, mama�s boys and narcissists and any other types.
- What does �mama�s boys� mean here?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

1...Yes.

2...A "mama's boy" is a man whose relationship with his mother is too close.
