...by the way. Speaking of philology.

Here in Maine, I came across a wonderful expression - to be all set. Its versatility never ceases to amaze me. Depending on the situation, "You are all set" or "Are you all set?" can mean:

• "Your shift is over, you can go home"

• "Here is your order, sir/ma'am"

• "The keys have been returned and I've just checked you out of the room, everything is in order"

• "Are you managing with what you are doing?"

And my favorite: - "Do you have all the meats and fried products or do you need help cooking something?" (for example, in a situation like "...if I go wash the dishes now and you stay here alone").

Anyway, that's it. How many wonderful discoveries await us. There is still time for discoveries, and I look forward to new meanings with interest.
