It is very funny when I think I have covered the English vernacular well, just to find that there’s even funnier ways of saying things. Have you ever been “all at sea”? It is today’s delicious english slang. It means being confused, I am glad this time the explanatory examples are good. It is comparable to “it’s all greek to me,” which is also in this book, but I thought a little too popular. Examples:
1. I’m all at sea with this computer manual.
2. Don’t ask me, I’m all at sea now.
And for my turn:
“How did we start walking in circles? I thought you knew where to go, Horatio. Oh, no, are you all lost at sea?”

As an American expat who’s lived all over the globe, I love picking up these curious little local phrases, My current fav comes from my current location (duh), Aussie and is a way of saying busy - ‘like a lizard drinking’…mmm…gotta love the imagery!
