Hi Add,
You guys really did an awesome job with this episode! It was jam-packed with great expressions and therefore, right up my alley! I especially liked "ball and chain" which was new to me. I guess It particularly appeals to me because I'm currently unattached.

A million thanks to you both

Majid

Hey Majid.  Thanks for the support buddy.  I love that expression too.  I was wondering, are you more interested in the slang type lessons like this past one or do you enjoy listening to all of them?  Add and I are always wondering what is the most useful and enjoyable.

Hey Andy,

I absolutely enjoy all of them but I teach 4 or 5 classes everyday and sometimes It can get a bit repeatetive for me, so I greatly appreciate whatever that adds some color and variety to my life and learning new slang expressions fits the bill.
Let me share a new slang expression that I learned recently through my subscription to Double-Tongued Dictionary:

trailing spouse

n. a husband or wife who follows a marriage partner who takes a new job in different city.

"Dinner Party" was my first lesson on china232.com. After I had finished listening I decided to download all lessons because this one was a good "appetizer". It's still one of my favorite ones.
