Thread: "college options"

What does the last sentence mean:

[teacher] Casey?
[Casey] - Something wrong, Mr. Bast?
[teacher] - No, not at all. I was curious if you'd
started weighing college options.

P.S. OK, that celebrity with pretty face and funny surname is here again

If this Casey girl is a high-school student in the graduate class, then it makes sense. The teacher asks if she has thought about which colledge she is going to go to.

Oh, damn! How do they guess meanings of such phrases?!

Another question, if you have nothing against.

[Skater (girl)] Look, I don't care if you're here. If you post me on the school website falling on my butt, you'd better transfer to another school.

I can't understand this: "...falling on my butt..."

She is a skater - you know ice skater. She is joking that if she falls down on her behind (butt) and he takes a picture of her that he will be in trouble with her.

Oh, butt means задница (ass). That explains everything, thank you!

Counter question: Would the russian translation look something like:

перекатиться на пятую точку

Maybe... But I think, more common translation is "шлепнуться на задницу"

By weighing, the teacher means comparing. As if taking to watermelons and putting each on a scale, and picking which one you want.
