【打卡老友记】S1E1 some words and expressions

打卡 Friends 老友记：Season 1 Episode 1 by 盈盈  https://bbs.wenxuecity.com/mysj/268653.html

Thanks 盈盈 for coming up this great idea for us to learn authentic  oral english language. 

I have never watched  the TV show "Friends" before. But I heard about it  when I first visited my brother in US during Chrismas time many years ago. When there was nothing else to do, my son and his cousins watched the "Friends"  in   the family room. Once in a while , the teenlagers gave loud laughing.

Unfortunally, I didn't watch the show together with them at that time. One of the reasons was that I didn't understand much and I thought that was a just teenager's show.  The other reason was that we -- the adults were either playing Poker ( Looking for Friends) or playing MaJang in the ketchen area .

Guess what? Our laughers were louder than the teenager's.

Now, I finally I have a chance to catch it up.

Following are some some new words and expressons for me.
