Is there a word, or maybe an expression, to when someone is walking towards you, and you both stop, and doesn't know who should go to the left or right to keep walking?
Happened to me today, I don't think there's a word or expression in my language, need to explain, like I tried in the title :D I hope it was understandable
Which U.S. accent does this sound like? Or is it not native?

if we say "yall" why not say "wall"?

The context is someone is injured and is bleeding. Does “we need to stop the blood” sound right instead of “…stop the bleeding”?

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
Does “not all” mean “none” here?
Chapter 3 of *Pride and Prejudice*. From the context I feel the author wants to say Mr. Bennet gave no satisfactory descriptions despite all efforts by his wife. But doesn’t “not all” mean “not every but some”? Or am I misunderstanding the context?
Do native speakers ever use the word "stigma"?
I can feel that my stigma has gotten worse. Does this sound natural? What I mean by this is that I can feel myself getting exhausted easily, and my health isn't as good as it used to be. Edit: Sorry, I meant to say "stamina".
