We're going to Paris for 3 days (1/2 days on Sunday and Tuesday). Our only full day (Monday) is Bastille Day - at the risk of sounding totally ignorant, will the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, shopping centres be open?

What does 'cram' mean as slang? To cram refers to the practice of staying up most of the night studying for an exam or test. Students often wait until the last minute to study, and then try to make up for al â¦ l their lost work. You'd hear someone say I'm going to cram for that test tonight, so don't call or text me.
A chum is a friend or a pal. You and your best chums might spend the weekend camping together. The informal word chum is more common in Britain than the US, but you can still talk about your school chums or the new chum you made on a Caribbean cruise.
