| Jan 3, 2018 at 1:58 | comment | added | Nick | Okay, well, I see I've been downvoted, but there's nothing wrong with my answer; and isn't "He's my firstborn" pretty common English? I mean I wouldn't flinch at all if someone said that to me; nor would I finch if someone said, "He's my lastborn." Am I wrong? | |
| Jan 3, 2018 at 0:24 | comment | added | J.R.♦ | Just a point about your P.S. – I've found that, when learners ask if there are "any special words for X" on ELL, they aren't usually trying to purposely exclude two-word compounds, phrasal verbs, idiomatic expressions, and the like. They just want to know how the concepts are expressed in everyday English. (More experience users will often change their questions over time, by changing requests such as "any special word for X" to something more open-ended, such as, "any words or phrases for X" or "any expressions for X".) | |
