Its more than a few years ago. Steve Roach patted Eddie Ward on the head 21 years ago! Where has that time gone?

你说得慢一点，我都听糊涂了。Nĭ shuō de màn yìdiăn, wŏ dōu tīng hútu le. Speak slower, I'm confused.
what is the purpose of the 都 (dōu)?
I thought 都 was used to draw together two or more subjects mentioned immediately beforehand. Here I see only one subject for the verb 听 (tīng) - 我 (wŏ).
Or can we translate it as in English: "I'm all confused" ?

你怎么笨得像头猪？ Nĭ zĕnme bèn de xiàng tóu zhū? How can you be as stupid as a pig?
What does the 头 (tóu) contribute to the sentence?
My only thought is that it could be a measure word, as in a 'head' of pig (like a head of cattle). But then there is no number used, so surely a measure word would not be appropriate?

The heading for the 7th set of expansion sentences is 热 (rè). However the featured word in that set is 烫 (tàng).
