"As thrilling as it gets" I heard this phrase lots of time while in Australia and never really managed to get the sens of it, the action was unfolding on a lake with a powerboat in it, actually so powerful that peoples when they came out shouted "Oh yeah it's thrilling as it gets !" ???
Could anyone help me out ?
Sure I can't help you"out".
I don't know what they mean exactly but in your story the guys were very excited and they like dangerous life. It's right?
pretty much ! :D
what a pity. . . :P
nobody try to help you? Had you found an answer yourself? ???
I can't find it.
Don't be sad :'(, someone will find it for you! ;) :)
I think Thomas is the only one who knows the answer because it sounds to be a slang.
You're right. It's exciting to wait for the answer. It's suspenseful!
Haha, ok, well here I am to the rescue! :P
As [adjective] as it gets! --> This is the maximum possible level of [adjective]!
So if you say something is as thrilling as it gets, it means that doing whatever you're doing gives the maximum amount of "thrilling" that you can feel. In other words, perhaps a simpler explanation -- To say that X is as thrilling as it gets is to say that there is nothing more thrilling than X.
Does that help?
oh yeah it helps ! :) it's crystal clear to me now, thank you Thomas.
really thank you, it's an important expression to know !
