Sweat
'To sweat it out' is very classical english statement usually made in the context of doing hard work.
These days in madras, you work or otherwise, you sweat. Infact on some occasions, u even sweat inside an airconditioned room, thanks to the abnormally high summer heat and humidity.
Whenever i sweat, i m reminded of these huge plant-eating African mammals which are predominantly water living and come out only if necessary. Hippopotamus amphibius as they are scientifically called sweat whenever they are out of water. And what is more important is their sweat is red in colour. So, if u put a hippo out of water for some time then you have a bloody situation to handle.
