Hi ELP,
I saw this pasted on a truck at a carpark, and I was wondering whether it's correct.
At first glance, I immediately thought that they provided services that physically remove your apartment from the building or something.
Thanks,

Hey Khai Rin!
We get what you mean! We think just saying ‘movers’ is enough. Because all you’re really doing is moving stuff from one place to another, while leaving the house in place!
What does ‘OD’ mean?
How do we use it? I see it on my emails and twitter feeds and facebook status of my friends a lot.
Thanks,
Janice Lee
Hey Janice Lee!
If we’re guessing correctly, what your friends are referring to is an overdose! ‘OD’ is a common abbreviation of ‘overdose’.
Strictly speaking, OD is used to refer to events where there has been a fatal overdose of a drug, or to refer to a person who has taken an overdose of a drug and has become seriously ill or has died.
This is serious stuff, Janice Lee.
OD is used casually though to refer to an excess of just about anything!
What is the singular of ‘junta’?
Mike mike
Hey Mike mike!
Actually, ‘junta’ already is in the singular form! The plural of ‘junta’ would be ‘juntas’.
What does ‘pullout’ mean?
Thanks,
Thomas
Hey Thomas!
‘Pullout’ means exactly what it looks like it means! It refers to the instance of pulling out or removal!
In the context of money or the military, it can also refer to a withdrawal of funds or troops.
And in daily use, you have newspaper pullouts which are complete sections by themselves that you can, well, pull out!
Is there such a word as ‘Blitz’? What does it mean?
I have a feeling that is it a slang word, but my friend who has ‘blitzed’ her way through school says it exists. ;)
Seph
Hi Seph!
‘Blitz’ is certainly a word!
If you look in the dictionary, it generally refers to a swift barrage or attack that is very intense.
Your friend must have left her school in quite a state!
