    They are both comfortably off (have enough money to buy what they want without worrying too much about the cost)

    But notice that "be better/ worse off doing sth (infomal) = to be in the better or worse situation

    _she's better off without him
    vậy thì well off # badly off phải ko?

    thx so much!

    Thiết nghĩ nên để topic này dàh để hỏi nhữg từ lóng của dân bản địa , đc ko ạ

    Vậy còn từ : dang có nghiã là gì?
    Và cả Blast nưã?, em đã tìm trên vdict nhưng có vẻ ko hiểu cho lắm.Vd như trong câu này : i am having a blast here .
    nó không có nghĩa là damn it đâu. Cả hai dùng như thán từ (interjection) nhưng không đồng nghĩa.

    td: John: Bob, I got a date with Jenny this weekend.

    Bob: Bullshit [interjection], she's still dating Henry. Tạm dịch là Dóc tổ, cô ấy vẫn còn cặp với Henry mà.

    Terry: Really? You two are going out ?

    Bob: Terry, don't believe his bullshit [noun]. He's full of shit. Terry, đừng có tin chuyện ba xạo của nó. Nó hay bố láo lắm.

    John: I am not bullshitting [verb]. Wait and see. Tao không có xạo đâu. Chờ mà coi.

    Không nên dùng chữ bullshit cho phân bò. Muốn nói tới phân bò để bón cây thì dùng cow manure.


    Chữ arse chỉ có dân Anh/Tô Cách Lan nói chứ dân Mỹ dùng chữ ass. Coi cuốn phim Braveheart thì thấy họ dùng rõ chữ arse.

    piss off = to go away : Why don't you piss off and leave me alone
    piss sb off = to make sb annoyed or bored: His attitude really piss me off; I'm pissed off with the way he has treat to me.
    piss sb off = to make sb annoyed or bored: His attitude really pisses/ed me off; I'm pissed off with the way he has treated me

    bad off, in poor or distressed condition or circumstances; destitute: His family has been pretty bad off since he lost his job. Also, badly off.

    being in better circumstances, esp. economically: Only the better-off nations can afford to send probes into space.

    well off làm sao mà đồng nghĩa với badly off được
    Đó là hai từ trái nghĩa nhau.
    badly(worse,worst) off = poor
    well off = better off
