Wordwatch / Слово урока

Cool is a very important word for English speakers of all ages, meaning interesting / fashionable / attractive. Trendy on the other hand is a rather old-fashioned word these days, so a passive awareness that it means fashionable is enough. Shop till you drop is an expression that suggests someone is going to go shopping until they are completely exhausted.

The girls refer to their landlady as the tarantula. A tarantula is, of course, a rather dangerous spider. Even so, this is an unusual word to use about someone.
