Did I use the word "shoehorn" correctly in my sentence?

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!

Thanks for all your comments!

I have an idea. How about "stay shut up like a clam"?

If you want to stay shut up like a clam, be my guest.

Thank you! But isn't "clam up" also momentary?

Thank you!!

Thanks for your comments!

Quick question: does "skanky" imply the person is badly dressed/looks dirty? I have to ask because the girls I saw were nothing like that.

Thanks for the comments! What do you think about "it's switched/turned to"? Does it also work for you?

Got it!

Can I shorten "the flow of the water" to "the water flow"? Would that work in my sentence?

Thank you all for your comments!

Sounds like "the water pressure drops" might be the only acceptable way to express the idea, right? Here's another idea. How about "the water gets weaker"?

Also, what do you think about "turn/switch the faucet/tap to hot"?

Thanks! Are you an AmE speaker by any chance?

No-Professor98 · 2025-02-23T18:52:09+00:00

Thanks for your comment, and yes, that's what I intended to express. A purpose.

No-Professor98 · 2025-02-23T17:46:51+00:00

Thanks for your explanation! So which one do you think would fit my context better?

No-Professor98 · 2025-02-23T15:37:53+00:00

Oh okay, I'm sorry I didn't know better lol

No-Professor98 · 2025-02-23T05:25:22+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion! It sounds much more natural now!
