Ever since qutting the job, John's been at looes ends
at loose ends
at loose ends又作at a loose end,本是航海用语,说的是船只缆绳的末端没有系牢而在海里随波逐流,四处漂泊,不知所往。
后来用于指人,形容某人的生活处于杂乱状态,没有计划、没有打算,整天无所事事,像是无根的浮萍到处漂泊、无所适从。

she是女性的第三人称"她",如果你把某个男人称作“she”,那么这个男人肯定不会是一个真正的男子汉大丈夫,而是一个胆小怕事、媚气十足的“假女”。这种男人就叫做“she-man”。
she-man的同义词是“girly-man”。girly源于女孩girl的形容词形式,意思是“娇气的,像个女孩子似的”,girly-man自然就是“忸怩作态、娇滴滴像个女人似的男人”。
she-man的反义词是“he-man”,又作“heman”。he-man是指那种“孔武有力、颇有男子汉气概的男人”,因为他是一个真正有着阳刚之气的“he”,而不是阴柔妩媚的"she"。
