A: It might be a little bit more natural to contract “I will” into “I’ll”, especially if you’re speaking out loud, and you can probably remove the “and do it” from the first sentence, because that’s what “taking the plunge” means. So you can just say “I’ll take the plunge”!
The second sentence is just fine - again, you could say “I’ll try it” if you want to sound a touch more casual, but it’s perfectly good either way.

A: totally fine!👍🏼

A: it's kind of awkward, but it depends on the context of the sentence. the only thing that seems problematic is plunge. plunge usually implies you're plunging into something like water, plunging into the sea. or plunging a knife into someone. maybe the word you're looking for is flaunt, display, present, maybe thrust or just show off. but if you said thrust, you usually wouldn't say in from of me. you would say stop thrusting your stomach at me. or! you could say, stop doing the truffle-shuffle 😂.


plunging would usually have to follow with a preposition. like, plunging at me, plunging into me etc. without it, IMO, it makes the sentence sounds weird .


this is a very hard question for me because the part about you talking about them being fat doesn't really explain why you're talking about them plunging the stomach in front of you in my opinion. if I were to say something like that I would say, would you stop plunging your stomach into me, I already know you take up too much room. Because I'm pointing out that I having plenty of space and enough room for the other person's stomach to not be in my personal space.

but if I wanted to comment about them being fat, I would say something like, would you stop putting your stomach on display, I already know you're fat.

A: It depends a little on what you mean. You could say "chill out" which means to stop being so excited about everything. Or, you could say "settle down" which means to get your priorities in order. Hope this helps.
