Hi! More great questions. "That being said" means something like, "Even though I've said that." For instance, "I love most vegetables. That being said, I can't stand tomatoes." "Paranoid" means suspicious, not trusting, anxious. For instance, "Sarah is so paranoid, she always thinks her friends are saying mean things about her." "Off the top of my head" means spontaneously, without thinking about it. For instance, "George is really creative. He makes songs up off the top of his head, and they're really good." "Off the hook" means not in trouble. For example, "My mom always lets my sister off the hook because she is the baby in the family." We use "among" with more than two things, for instance, "Among all my friends, I like Jose the best." We use "between" for just two things. For example, "I can't decide between the chicken and the fish." Thanks! Amy
