To be in the shed | WordReference Forums
...Sheds in Britain (and Australia), in addition to their more prosaic function, are places of retreat for the man of the house. If you are in the shed (which is in the garden) then you are "out of it" (as opposed to being in the house, where you and everyone else would normally be). So it is saying, you are in the house, but your head is in the shed....

What is "conex" exactly? Is "conexis" its plural form?

behind the gym | WordReference Forums
...The phrase would easily be recognised in a school context as meaning "some out-of-the-way place where I won't get caught beating up, or "kicking the shit out of" (thanks lc), my fellow-student". I imagine it means "behind the building that houses the gym", i.e. outside the gym. In BE they talk about "beating someone up behind the bike-sheds" or "smoking behind the bike-sheds". It's a cliche ......

Nave (building) | WordReference Forums
...Hi, I'm translating a text about a building formed by 3 "naves". This means "units". It is not an industrial building, but these units are shaped as the typical industrial unit in Spain, that's why they chose the term "nave" to talk about it in Spanish. It is a large, gabled roof building. I......

Would I be understood if I used it? I do think I've come across the expression "to put out the latchstring" before......

I'm going to check with a writer acquaintance from the US who has extensive experience with writing in the field of metaphysics, plus the vastest English vocabulary I've ever seen.
