It means "you got it," "that's it, exactly." It's used while playing Charades, to let your team members know that the letter, word, or phrase you just said is what you were acting out.

***
Litterally it is meant to signify "on the nose", i.e. exactly correct.
***
If the person is tapping the top of the end of their nose, I agree with the first answer, that it means you are correct ('right on the nose'). But if they are tapping the side of their nose, that is more along the lines of: it's a secret.

Is it better to live above someone or below someone in an apartment and why?
It depends on what you want in your apartment. It's quieter to live above someone, especially if they tend to have parties and a lot of guests. Also, living one floor down tends to reduce the number of steps that you have to climb to get to your apartment. Heating the lower floors also tends to be a little less expensive, especially if the upper apartment is the top floor since heat loss is typically only through the outside walls and ceiling. Also, lower floors will have water damage if there is a problem with the plumbing upstairs. You just need to figure out what you want and go after what would be best for you. Remember that the best apartments tend to be "penthouse" apartments, which are typically on the top floor of apartment buildings.

Seems like a version of "I never think of you"
AnswerOUCH! this could be a 2 answer ?? The bad: They don't think about you at all.. (sorry)The good: They think about you constantly and you are always on their mind.
AnswerI'd dump his ass and he can no longer be a passing thought for me either. AnswerIt means you should ask them exactly what they DO mean. AnswerI would interpret it like this:"You"=
I would expect that if it were an insult, the person would have said, "You are not a thought for me" BUT, if the person is insinuating that you are not just a passing thought and that you are a thought that lingers in their mind- This seems extremely romantic.

In terms of religious choice what does it mean to dig with the other foot?
This phrase literally refers to a farm implement; namely, a 'spade'. The following is a verbatim extract from Evans' (1992): 'The Ulster spade, while it has dozens of different shapes adapted each to its own district, is in general form neither Irish nor English but an ingenious compromise between them. The old Irish one-eared spade is really a push-plough operated with the right foot, whereas the Ulster spade, derived from styles introduced by Protestant planters, is normally used with the left foot. Thus the phrase 'he digs with the wrong foot' became an oblique way of referring to someone of the other religion, Protestant or Catholic' (p. 216) Source(s): Evans, E. Estyn, (1992) The Past in the Present. In Craig, P (1992) (Editor) The Rattle of the North: An Anthology of Ulster Prose. Belfast: The Blackstaff Press. (pp. 215-217) The above work draws on the original work of: Evans, E. Estyn (1951) Mourne Country. Dundalk: Dundalgen Press.
Origin of the term spike camp?
The term first came into widespread use by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the United States in the mid to late 1930s to describe small work groups who travelled far from the base camp (carrying supplies by mule or by horse) to work on a distant project. There may be instances of a local use of the term previously but I do not know of it.
