最佳解答:
"Make it explicit" sounds fairly rude and implies that you friend is "hiding" the true message from you. If you don't know what you friend said, it is more appropriate for you to ask: "I don't understand. Could you clarify?" You use the word "explicit" when you believe that something is "implicitly stated." In which case, you should say "Could you be more explicit?" And for your second question, it's more common to say "sharp" At six sharp = at 6:00:00.
