<p>[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 2892498, member: 88829"]Don't take my remark seriously. I was speaking "tongue in cheek" (an American idiom for "kidding, joking"). In American English the expression "lump in his throat" is also an idiom, which refers to being nervous - - such as, an unskilled person concerned about making a public speech. In my remark I was saying that the coin observes when he got the lump <i>out</i> of his throat, that is, got the courage to speak well in public. It was all just a bit of "tomfoolery" on my part, but maybe not right for an international forum. If anyone was offended, I apologize.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
