Weather's much nicer today. Milder, with a breeze.
Oh...all the ways one can use the word mug. It's a noun - meaning a cup. (coffee mug), it's a verb - mugged - to get mugged by someone. It's an adjective - muggy - the weather is muggy today. Meaning humid. And mugged - can also mean being goofy or showing off or making funny faces at a camera. Completely different meanings that have no relationship with one another.
So from your friend's perspective - she probably thought, wait - are they mugging the camera? Is the camera mugging them? Or are they mugging people for the camera? LOL! Context is everything - but that instance...it can be frustrating. What you need is a really good dictionary.
