Sentences 051: And Things, Born And Bred, No Holds Barred
"You seem to like romance—red roses and things" was not the best pickup line, I guess.
She was born and bred in East London.
This is an ancient game, not unlike modern rugby, but with no holds barred.
Sentences 051: And Things, Born And Bred, No Holds Barred
"You seem to like romance—red roses and things" was not the best pickup line, I guess.
She was born and braised in East London.
This sentence works, but being "born and bred" usually goes with "to", not "in". Here is an example:
She was born and bred to fight. (This means she grew up in an environment where she learned to fight well.)
The term "born and raised" sounds better with "in". Born and raised means you were born *and* grew up somewhere. An example:
"Aren't you from Kentucky?" "Yep. Born and raised."
This is an ancient game, not unlike modern rugby, but with no holds barred.
