That's a word I had to look up ... even the definition called it an old word.
Yeah I like me some words and even I've never seen that one.
Although technically it's a correct word, the Wiktionary gives a more plausible explanation:

hey bud, I'm having some trouble to get the messege specially what you wanted to express, in the underlined sentece.
Damn you google!hey bud, I'm having some trouble to get the messege specially what you wanted to express, in the underlined sentece.
don't understand what you want to express with it?
just as a test, (experiment) with google translator. type (copy paste) this spanish sentence into the translator.
".....de que forma eso, se siente como......
IDK how to say it as a grammar rule, but "how it feels like" should properly be either just "how it feels" or "what it feels like." But like Korben Dallas I speak both English AND bad English, so no worries on my account.hey bud, I'm having some trouble to get the messege specially what you wanted to express, in the underlined sentece.

I'm by no means a grammar expert, and I'm a die hard linguistic descriptivest, but yeah that's one of those mixups that is instantly noticed by native speakers, and in my case (despite being very pro if I understood you then mission accomplished) tilts the fuck out of me.IDK how to say it as a grammar rule, but "how it feels like" should properly be either just "how it feels" or "what it feels like."

I was here because my wife used the most feared sentence: "I will be ready in 5 minutes". I fall for it every time.Yea, that's the same page I found ... I didn't want to be THAT rude
(also, why are you still here if you're out drinking with your wife?)
There are a lot of expressions like that one that sound good to non-native (the "how it feels like" sounds great to most Romance-language speakers) but it's a red flag for native ones. When I translate to English, which is my third or fourth language, I usually re-read the sentences before publishing/sending/posting, and I correct a lot of mistakes done while writing it (in the last sentence I wrote "that is my" instead of "which is my", f.e.). A lot more mistakes go unnoticed by me, that's why there are two native proofreaders currently hating me while reading the first 60% of v.0.12.
Yeah that's why you make the reservation (if you made one) let's say 9 pm or 9:30pm and say your wife the reservation is 8pm or 8:30 pm
I always just make a forceful statement like "I'll be in the car waiting." Thinking that will hurry her up. So, I end up listening to some music for about 15 minutes.

It was the bar (reminder, in Spain there is no difference between a cafe and a bar) just crossing the street, so no reservation and no car.I always just make a forceful statement like "I'll be in the car waiting."

Well, if you live that close to the place you're going, I'd tell her to just meet me there and go have a few myself while I wait. But, I can drink several in 15 mins.It was the bar (reminder, in Spain there is no difference between a cafe and a bar) just crossing the street, so no reservation and no car.
If I tell her I'll wait in the bar, I would drink a couple of beers before she arrives
Personally I like watching my wife get ready, free show and there's no rules against being handsy.Well, if you live that close to the place you're going, I'd tell her to just meet me there and go have a few myself while I wait. But, I can drink several in 15 mins.
I prefer helping them get UNready...
I get that. WHEN she's dressing, of course. But when she's just doing her makeup, her hair or putting on jewelry, it's time to make a stand. lol But also when I get handsy with her, it then becomes my fault that she's running late.
