these are high in iron

In the dictionary according to me...

when you are in a public place and you want to stall so that the person or people you are with have the chance to see something (or more likely someone) that you find particularly interesting, you point to a nearby object and say...

These are high in iron.

This all began at whole paycheck a couple of weeks ago when italian bf, his two friends who stayed with us for 17 days and I saw a super hot guy in the bulk food section who seemed hot enough and straight enough to be a potential suitor for our female friend emi. In order to stay nearby without being (too) obnoxious, we manufactured a long conversation about various items in the bulk bins. This, of course, wall all happening in italian. and my most proud moment of the stalling-near-the-hot-guy conversation came when I pointed to the pumpkin seeds and said "quests sono alto en ferro" which is my bad italian for "these are high in iron."

as I mentioned, "these are high in iron" can be applied for pretty much anything. For instance, I pointed to a box of tic tacs near the self-checkout at the grocery store tonight and told italian bf "look these are high in iron".
