Enabler alert means someone is about to share some information with you that will make you want to go out and purchase some new gadget or other.

Tickled pink means you are thrilled and delighted and just might be blushing.

Like no udder means like no "other". You are one of a kind.

Enabler alert means 'watch out'...someone is going to tell you about a great deal and wants to warn you in case you don't want to spend any more money

Tickled pink refers to the pink color of a pig; tickled meaning you are pleased; tickled pink is a common expression used by people in North America to say how happy and pleased they are; so they combined it with the pig because of the pink color

Like no udder stands for 'Like no other'....udder rhyming (kind of) with other; meaning the no one else is like you

Hi Claudia,

When you are "bummed" it means you are disappointed.

Enabler alert means that the good ladies here will help you ("enable" you) to spend your money by telling you all about nice products to buy.

Tickled pink is an expression that means someone made you very happy. It could be they are "tickled pink" over a nice gift you gave them, or a favor that you did for them. Nice to use for thank you cards.

Like no udder means, Like no other. The "udder" is a play on words to the cow image. Udder and Other sound a little alike so it is just a play on words.

Claudia....

I am tickled pink that you feel you can come here for a lesson in English. Thank you for the comments on my son and his racing and riding, in my eyes, he is like no udder!! I am not bummed that he is racing although sometimes it is scary... One piece of advice....watch out for enabler alerts, they can cost you lots of money! LOL! (That means Laughs Out Loud!)
