All meanings
When someone says they're 'at one's beck and call,' it means they're totally under someone else's thumb. You might see this in a workplace where an employee does everything the boss wants without question. It's kind of like being a servant in a fancy office setting.
The phrase 'yakkety-yak' isn't just about talking a lot,it's about talking without much thought. You'll hear it used when someone is chattering over and over, maybe even getting on others' nerves. It's the kind of talk that goes nowhere and just fills up silence.
Calling someone a 'tuxedo' in casual talk usually means they're well-dressed but not fancy enough for a black-tie event. You see this when people are trying to look formal but maybe don't have the style or confidence for true elegance. It's like saying they tried, but missed the mark.
When people say something is 'more or less' done, it means it's only partially finished. It's a way of saying it's almost there, but not quite complete. You often hear this from someone who wants to take credit but still leaves room for criticism or change later on.
A 'tuxedo' can also mean someone who's trying too hard to fit in. They dress up and act a certain way to match the group, maybe even outshine others. It's like they're wearing their ambitions on their sleeves and hoping that's enough to win them respect.
