neutral  Hanna Burdon: Mam wrażenie, że "like hell" za bardzo zbliża się do wulgaryzmu.

  -> masz rację, fraza jest tak popularna że „trafiła pod strzechy”
neutral  Tomasz Poplawski: ja mam inny problem - kolokacja: Energizer Bunny just keeps going, and going... (nie: running)

  -> w reklamie "keeps going, and going...", w potocznej mowie często się słyszy "running"
