1) Rack – it has many meanings, so I’m racking my brains. What does it mean? Here, “rack” is used in the sense of “shelf, hanger, support”. A cloth rack is just a clothes drying rack. “Rack my brain” means to strain one’s mind hard, so the meaning of this sentence is: I’m trying my best to figure something out. 2) Drag – to pull or drag. She’s a real drag; she’s really in the way. 3) Received – to get something. Well received – popular and well-rated. “I’m going to give you some advice; maybe you won’t like hearing it.” “Actually, it’s well received.” This implies that the speaker is willing to listen to the other person’s opinions. “Did you get my email?” “It’s well received.” It means not only that it was received, but also that it was useful, with an implied thank you
