Does anyone phrase it this way? Can we say “my work is far from my house”? Thanks.

Not exactly a language related question. But when talking about salary, do you think of $ per month/year or $ per hour as this meme probably implies?

don't be so ass about shit
What could "don't be so ass about shit" mean? I've heard this phrase few times and don't understand the meaning. My only guess is that means "don't be a nerd"
Which U.S. accent does this sound like? Or is it not native?

Any special words for those who's bad at working with their hands
Hi! Is there a special word or phrase for a person who is bad at working with hands or performing practcal jobs (e.g. mending things, cleaning, cooking, etc.). In my language we've got a special phrase which literally means 'one's hands grow from their ass' and a word which is a contamination of 'hands' and 'ass'. It's informal and might be offensive. Is there anything similar in English? Thanks
Is there any quick trick or tips to get the accent??
I know the grammar and I can speak English quite well. All I’m worried about is I can’t just sound like native speaker
if we say "yall" why not say "wall"?

Hi. Does Pinch a loaf mean take a shit ?
I'm watching a movie and a guy said this and then went to the toilet.
Can "apparently" be used as an alternative to "it's said that"?
For a long time, I thought "apparently" is quite similar to "obviously". The biggest reason I have this confusion is that when I first met this word, my vocabulary provided a really bad translation. I didn't take it seriously at the very beginning, so I was misled for a long time. Today, I watched a video, in which I came across "apparently" again. I looked it up in an English-English dictionary, and it dawned on me that my previous understanding is wrong. "So, **apparently**, if you walk on the street in Miami, you're probably as likely to hear people speaking Spanish as English." The vlogger has never been to Miami. He just provided some views, that's why he uses "apparently". Does it mean, "apparently" is basically equavalent to "it's said that"? Thank you in advance. https://preview.redd.it/3o4cq97y7dbe1.png?width=1914&format=png&auto=webp&s=4a786fd54b90a3948eda6f7b4b55814c1cc30087
What's the opposite of cunchy when it comes to apples?
It may involve a food culture difference. Most apples are crunchy but in many Asian countries, non-crunchy apples are also popular. I can't find a word to describe how they taste like. What's the proper adjective here? Thank you in advance.
