Perceptor wrote:Hello. Can you explain to me what does "jump in line" mean? I heard this phrase several times. Maybe it means: "to understand something" or "to stop thinking about something" or something else?
Perceptor wrote:I found it in a Onerepublic's song "Secrets'. I took that fragment from this song's part:
"This time don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away"
LifeDeath wrote:"This time don't need another perfect lie". What does that line mean? Is "we" implied after the word "time"? If not, isn't the word "time" a non-plural[*] form? Shouldn't it be "time doesn't"? Or maybe I'm goofing.

To me, "Not enough mana" would be fine in the context of a game--you try to do an action and the game says "Not enough mana". A game might also say "Insufficient money" or "Access Denied", or "Access Granted". None of which would work in a conversation though.Perceptor wrote:Hi! I have another one question. In many games I played there're strange phrases I heard for example: "not enough mana" or not have enough mana". Is it right and if it's so then may i say "not have enought money on my card" or "not enough money on my card" or smth else?
Your proposal is correct. That's a very natural way to respond in a casual situation. (Just note that "Not enough money on my card" and "Not a lot of people came here" aren't comparable grammatically. The former is technically an incomplete sentence, "there is" having been omitted from the beginning; the latter is a complete sentence.)LifeDeath wrote:And what if my friend asks me and we have a conversation:
"Will you make a payment now?"
"No."
"You sure? Maybe you will? What's the reason?"
"No, sorry, not enough money on my card".
Is that an appropriate answer? OyVey said it sounds incomplete, but what about this case? It sounds natural to me, (and I have even used sentences like that, like "Not a lot of people came there") but your experience is many times as bigger. That's why I'm asking you.
You could use "refill" or "recharge". I feel like I'd probably say "put more money on".LifeDeath wrote:And since we started talking about money, I wondered what would be a proper expression to express "add more money on one's card". Quick google search brings up "to replenish an account". Is that option correct? Is it possible to say "to replenish a card"? I doubt, because, as far as I know, "account" and "card" are different things.
