To have a lie-in

[ROBINDESBOIS]

How do you say in AE to have a lie-in?

Hmmm, I'm not sure what a lie-in is. Can someone enlighten me on that? :)

It means: to get up late/ wake up late/ spend the morning in bed (sleeping)

I thought I posted here earlier. Poli's almost right, I believe. I would say it means to lounge around in bed (all morning) (BUT awake). It's when people wake up, but don't get out of bed all morning.

If we sleep longer than usual, that is called sleeping in. To have a lie-in is British for quedarse en cama.

Spot on old chap! Do you not have lie-ins? They are better and longer than Siestas. When our childen sleep in friends' houses, we say Sleep-over. It that the same in EEUU?

I think the term slumber party would be more commonly used over here than sleep-over.

And I would say that slumber party is used more often for girls, and sleep-over for boys.

Yes, it could be. That part of my life is pretty much ancient history. :)
