I've released when the politicians put their foot in it ! They never use the word that they got sacked or fired, they prefer to use the word *resigned* still get paid for life when they do so. Lovely jubbly son.

Nice work if you can get it. Johnson has earned over a million quid since being forced out of office - and yet still gets the taxpayer to foot his legal bills!

My mother-in-law on the phone: "People should stay home", "Lockdown is safe for all of us." Me: Yes, yes. Lockdown until June, no visits (She was hoisted by her own petard;)

Yeah, kind of. If you SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE FOOT, you say or do something stupid that causes you trouble. If you're HOISTED BY YOUR OWN PETARD, you suffer as a result of trying to hurt someone else. I'm waiting to see Putin hoisted by his own petard in 2023,

Could you please explain this sentence in bold to me. I can’t understand the meaning of "being" word in this sentence. A tsundere is a character, most often female and in anime, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁.

After prepositions like FROM, we use an -ing form of any verb that follows. Here, it means that one minute the 'tsundere' is tough and cold towards their love interest, and then the next minute they're soft and sweet.
