Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Body"

A: A type of cream (cosmetics) that you put on your skin to give a sparkly appearance

A: "lash out" in this case indicates the motion when he was grabbing the canvas was quick or energetic or aggressive.. Just like a whip

A: It doesn't make any real sense so it has no meaning. It is not proper English. Haha. The rapper just wanted to rhyme.

A: que significa que cojo muchas mujeres, así que no necesito un arma

A: You could say it if someone disagrees with what you're doing, "well, what's a guy to do?"

A:
Over my dead body is basically a more dramatic way of saying never!

If you say something will happen over your dead body, you mean that you will do everything you can to prevent it:
"Joe says he's going to buy a motorcycle." "Over my dead body

No I shan't give up my car, over my dead body.
They will get the house! only over my dead body.

A: You can only have my sandwich over my dead body.
You wanna have my job? Over my dead body!

A: " You want to take my prized possession from me? Over my dead body!"

"I'll let him win over my dead body."

The phrase"over my dead body" is basically saying that you would do anything to prevent something. It really isn't something that's said in everyday conversation or in general, so there aren't really common expressions for it

A: I will exercise everyday to build some muscle.

I am building muscles by lifting weights at the gym.

I go to the gym to build leg muscles.

I need to build more arm muscles because they're very weak. (lol)

A: If a girl's father disliked her boyfriend, he might say "You'll marry him over my dead body!" He's communicating to her that he feels so strongly about the issue that he'd have to be dead for him to allow or accept it.

If you were intending to communicate your dedication to winning or your grit as a competitor, you might say "If they intend to win, they'll have to step over my dead body to do so."

A: Body - Generally a person's body. Be it alive or dead.
I don't think body (when alive) can mean body of an animal but when dead it can be used.

Corpse - A dead body. Always dead.


For example:
"A body of a young man was found near the River ..."
"A corpse of a young man was found near the River ..."

A: If a police report was to say "We found a body" and "we found a corpse", they would have the same meaning. It's a dead person that they found.
On the other hand, I can talk about my body while I'm still living, too, but I wouldn't talk about it as a corpse. Corpse only refers to a dead body.
"My body hurts from all the exercising I did" is right, but I wouldn't say "My corpse hurts from all the exercising I did."

A: You could say either, in this case.

Corpse is more gruesome sounding.

Body, even though it’s still horrible to be dead, is gentler sounding.

If the police came to your house to announce the death of someone you knew, body is better to hear than corpse.

Corpse also refers to rotting.

Body also has other meanings. If you need to know them, let me know. I just wanted to address body in the context you put it in.

A: There we go! You just explained it yourself in a way I didn't think of. A person has a body when they're alive. They are in possession of it because it's theirs. When a person exits that body, or dies, they become a body. They are a body now. They don't have it anymore. Man this is a weird conversation haha. Anyway, unless you become a police officer or see a dead person in a river, you pretty much only have to reference your own body. Hope this somehow helps.

A: Gestures are a part of body language.

Body language consists of gestures, facial expressions and habitual behaviors.

Her body language towards me seemed scared.

A: Mmmm I don’t know.
I usually say “the soft tissue” or just called it “fish meat”
Sorry 😅

A: "Your body gets used to your workout regimen/routine."


"Your body gets used to your workout regimen, so switch things up once in awhile.

"Your body gets used to your fitness routine, so change it up once in awhile."

A: Just "She didn't want to get hurt." sounds better.

A: Yes, in this case, you can.

However, if in context, you were also comparing the body to other things, like oranges, you might say 'at its' to clarify the meaning.
"The body is most efficient when moving in rhythm [compared to oranges and/or itself when not in rhythm]."
"The body is at its most efficient when moving in rhythm [compared to when it is not in rhythm]."
