[quote=SETH,377644] GUESTLOVECHINA -- A 'pick-me-up' would be some form of good word or good deed to lift someone from the depths of despair or unhappiness. As in 'to pick one's spirits up'. Idiomatic English can be hard to figure out. What I meant was that I was feeling a bit down about something, but reading your post made me laugh; it perked up my spirits. If a 'pick-me-up' is a thing that perks a person's spirits up, then what is a 'pick-up line'? (It's actually a line of conversation used by a guy to pick up a girl in a bar.) I can understand confusion over American/English expressions. I think it is always good practice to ask about something if you don't understand it, and I hope my explanation helped.[/quote]
