Hi there!
Again, I have trouble with a phrase in a british book. This is a book of
self-help, and the chapter talks about how women sometimes give men a chance
because they believe that, although he is not exactly everything they want,
there is room for improvement.
The sentence is:
(quote)
The social attraction element has been taken care of: either we think you
already look right or we guess you might scrub up well with a little
patience and a few lenghts of MDF.
(unquote)
I get the general meaning, but I would like to know exactly what MDF stands
for. The meanings I found in acronym dictionaries don't seem to apply here.
Thanks a lot!
