Phrase. stick a fork in (something) (idiomatic, informal) Used to indicate that something or someone is finished, or, in a broader sense, defeated or ruined. I'd play the last level with you, but I'm out of lives. Stick a fork in me!

Originally posted by @very-rustyNo, not at all - I have never heard that expression before so thank you. These idioms are very hard to understand, just like the Swedish ones.

I learned not to tell a lady that it wasn't the dress that made her butt look big she just had a big butt.... 😉
Originally posted by @torunnWell...it was kind of quiet for a few days, which I found I did enjoy. 😉 The dress hadn't been bought when I was asked!
