Does the "be" mean "belong"?
Context:
You wanna burn the flag, be my guest, but I'd *also* say one should probably start looking into some "international travel" if one hates the U.S. so deeply. No one's being "exiled" at all, but hey, if that's the best that one can do with one's disgust or whatever, why still just hang around and gripe and destroy?
TIA
"be my guest" means that it is all right with me. In the context of this sentence, it sounds like the writer is being a bit sarcastic!
"Be my guest" is an idiom which means "go ahead and do it."
You say "be my guest" to someone when you're giving them permission to do something, or inviting them to do something. Sometimes, as in your example oristar, it's used in a sarcastic way when you're inviting someone to do something difficult or unpleasant. It depends on the context though.
Oy, I guess I was a little late there.
Thanks Phoenix and Monger.
Another question.
What does "blog" mean?
Context:
Here's the image of Bush writing an autograph on the U.S. Flag. Stirred up on a lot of blogs a minor controversy in July. Odd.
