Baffling Lingo

【电灯泡】
这个词有两个意思，一个是指灯，另一个是指在不合适的时间出现的人。

比如：
Lisa:  嗨，Lily,今晚我男朋友约我一起出去吃饭，你和我一起去吧。

 Lily:  额...还是算了吧，我就不要去当电灯泡了。你们两人去就好了，路上注意安全。

The word has two meanings. One refers to a lamp and the other refers to a person who appears at an inappropriate time.

For example:

Lily: Well Forget it. I'm not going to be a third wheel. You two just go. Be safe on the way.
