A:tony also toney adjective ton·y also ton·ey (t?'n?) adj. Informal., -i·er, -i·est. Marked by an elegant or exclusive manner or quality: a tony country club. Being or in accordance with the current fashion: à la mode, chic, dashing, fashionable, mod, modish, posh, smart, stylish, swank, swanky, trig. Informal classy, in, sharp, snappy, swish, trendy. Slang with-it. Idioms: all the rage, up to the minute. Comment: I have seen this word used in literature (usually in stories about or set in New York City) but I have never heard anyone use it in conversation. I think the term is a bit dated (meaning old/not current); in other words, not tony!! Alas, it may not be tony to be tony, anymore.

A:'at' in the sentence "You must be in or AT the arena" means you are likely located where the arena is, but you probably are not inside. If you say "in the arena" you are inside of the arena and not just generally near or in the vacinity of the arena. If you say to me that you are AT the arena, I will automatically think that you are there, but NOT (necessarilly) inside yet, whereas if you say you are IN the arena, you are already inside.

Does the word "tony" has other meanings other than being a name? I have seen it used as if it's a style? Or a trend? Or something. Can someone help?

A:As far as I know, "gutted" is a recent addition to the English language in the UK. It means literatlly - "gutted", your gut being pulled out - meaning very disappointed, sad etc. It's used in situation such as when you are expected to get something, or get into a University, but you find out that you are rejected, so you can say you are "really gutted".

A:That's a clip from an old Steve Martin comedy routine. His joke was that if you really wanted to mess with a child, to "talk wrong". So when the kid's in school, will raise their hand in class and ask the teacher "Can I go mumble dogface to the banana patch?". I thought it was funny.

(16 June 2008) To me, gutted means speechless, anguished. To-day someone told me it means angry. Has anyone else heard this?
