Get someone something – to go and obtain that thing for someone, and probably give it to them later.
eg: I got her a cake. But now I’m not going to give it to her, because she is being very rude.
eg: I got my daughter some candy. But she didn’t take it because I said she shouldn’t eat any sweets before dinner.
Holiday – any day that people celebrate a special occasion
eg: Yeah, I don’t think Arbor day is a REAL holiday. You can’t get off work just because you like trees.
vacation – when you take time off work, and usually go somewhere
eg: Next week I’m on vacation, so I won’t be here.
staycation – Not a real word!
eg: Don’t use the word staycation!
our hands are tied – we don’t have a choice or decision, the reason why you can’t do something.
eg: I wanna have a holiday next week.
