English with Humor: Expressions
✅ 1. "Give me a ring" = Call me on the phone
🔹 This is an informal British English expression.🔹 It simply means:
"Call me" or "Phone me."🔸 Example:"I'm not sure what time I'll be there—give me a ring when you're free."
✅ 2. "Give me a ring" = Propose marriage
🔹 This is a literal interpretation of the word ring—as in a wedding or engagement ring.🔹 It means:
"Will you marry me?"🔸 Example (romantic context):"If we ever get engaged, will you give me a ring?"
This double meaning often appears in jokes or wordplay because it's easy to confuse the literal and figurative uses of the word ring. EnglishWithHumor is a fun way to learn more and more expressions
