can you tell me how to use the word 'ain't'?
"Ain't" ain't a formal word, so you shouldn't use it in essays, reports, or any assignments for school. You also should not use it in any email messages to professors, bosses, etc.
Examples:
- I ain't no fool.
- This soup ain't that bad!
- He ain't answering my phone.

'Her jeans road too low over her ass' what's the meaning of this sentence?
It should be "rode." It means that her jeans were way too low, perhaps showing her butt crack, the top of her underwear, etc.
I'm confused what's the difference between 'CAN hardly wait' and 'CAN'T hardly wait' ?
"Can't hardly wait" is a double negative, so it's wrong. "Can hardly wait" is correct, e.g., I can hardly wait for BIGBANG's comeback.
"Can't barely" and "can't scarcely" are also double negatives. Replace "can't" with "can." ✌
"Can't barely" and "can't scarcely" are also double negatives. Replace "can't" with "can." ✌
What's the meaning of 'buxom' and how can i use it in a sentence?
"Buxom" is used to describe women, and it has two meanings:
1. healthily plump and vigorous (this definition isn't used that much anymore)
2. having large breasts and curves (this is the more common definition now)
Example sentences:
- In a shocking move, the famous fashion designer insisted on buxom models instead of super thin ones for his next big runway show.
- Unlike "Shingeki no Kyojin," "One Piece" has (ridiculously) buxom female characters.

what does "second guessing" mean? as in " I am second guessing myself".
According to dictionaries, "second-guess" means two things:
1. to criticize or question someone's actions or decisions
2. to try to guess or predict what someone will do.
But many people also use "second-guess" to mean to "doubt something that you already know is true." This is how "second-guess" is used in your example. So, for example, let's say that you knew the answer to a difficult question on an exam. However, instead of trusting your knowledge, you second-guess yourself by thinking that you did something wrong.

I'm good at understanding the sentences and words if they were written but I find it difficult to listen and speak fluently! Listen really hard for me I do not understand what the other person is saying. I want to improve these two skills can you help me!
The first step is figuring out WHY you don't understand what the other person is saying. Is it because they speak too quickly? Is it because you aren't concentrating?
One of the easiest (and most effective) tips we can give is this: listen to understand the big picture, instead of trying to understand every single word that person is saying.
For example, look at this example:
Peter: I am miffed at my professor's loquacity. He talks so much that we don't get a chance to ask him questions. For my next class, I'm going to specifically request a professor who is renowned for giving laconic explanations.
If you tried to understand every single word, you might have been discouraged by "miffed," "loquacity," "renowned," and "laconic." However, if you just listen for the big picture, you would have understood that Peter was complaining about a professor who talked too much, and next time, he wants a teacher who is famous for giving short explanations.
Give that a try. Like everything that deals with improving language skills, it is going to take a lot of practice.
Good luck! (⌒ ͜ʖ⌒)-b

How to get english accent like harry potter, james bond and 1 direction?
Listen to British accents constantly and practice talking that way.
If you live in America, it's really hard to pull this off; as soon as you meet your friends, you'll end up talking with an American accent. When Nan (one of our admins) spent a year in England, she developed a British accent. But after just a few days in America, she lost it completely.

If I want to describe a movie that I just watched, should I use 'is' or 'was'?
If you're talking to someone about it, use "was": Dude, that movie was awesome! (You could also use "is," but it sounds more "natural" in the past tense, since you just watched it.)
If you're writing about it, use "is" (and other present tense verbs): "Furious 7" is an entertaining movie that deserves attention.
If you're writing about it, use "is" (and other present tense verbs): "Furious 7" is an entertaining movie that deserves attention.

why did we say "stand on your own two feet" instead of "stand on your own feet" ? didnt feet has alredy show that a person has two foot ? am i right or wrong ?
It's an idiom, so it doesn't follow traditional rules. "Stand on your own two feet" means "be or become self-reliant or independent" (don't rely or depend on others).
