It's a strange language when "getting laid" and "getting laid off" mean such different things.
to go on,go back,go off,go around,go by
have a different meaning...that's the most difficult part of the english language imho,now you can use a different verb for each expression,but it wouldnt feel idiomatic.
At the same time,it makes english composable and easy to extend,it cannot work with my language.I wonder if other languages work like that too.
