1 muscle: The adjective "fleshy" refers to the muscle and fat on a human being or an animal. Example: My uncle has a big fleshy body and looks like Santa Claus. The "fleshy part" of a human arm indicates the muscle (and fat) of that arm.
1 bone: "Bone" is the hard interior structure of the body that supports the muscles of the body. Example: When I was young I broke the bones in both my legs. The bones are not considered to be a "fleshy" part of a human or animal.
1 elbow: The "elbow" is the large joint in the middle of the arm between the shoulder and the hand. Example: I have a very sore elbow which makes it difficult to use my arm. The elbow is not considered to be a "fleshy" part of a human or animal.
1 organ: Organs refer to such parts of the body as the lungs, heart and liver. This isn't the "fleshy" part of the body!
2 the bullet caused very minor damage: The adverb "harmlessly" expresses that something had no bad or damaging effects. Example: The police moved the bombs to the desert where they exploded harmlessly. Trey is expressing that his wound is not serious and that it caused no permanent damage. "Harmless" is an antonym (the opposite) of the word "harmful", which means "dangerous" or "causing damage".
2 the bullet caused major damage: Trey says that the gunshot was "harmless", which expresses that there was little or no damage done to the arm, not "major damage".
2 the bullet missed the target completely: The adverb "harmlessly" expresses that little or no damage was caused, or that something is benign. The term is unrelated to whether or not something hit or missed a target.
2 the bullet hit multiple targets: The adverb "harmlessly" expresses that little or no damage was caused, or that something is benign. The term is unrelated to whether or not something hit multiple targets.

1 flesh: "Flesh" is the muscular or fatty tissue of a human or animal. It can also refer to the soft portions of a fruit or vegetable. In the audio, Jean says that his arms "are like the flesh of a chicken", which refers to the resemblance of human skin (induced by cold or fear) to chicken skin, although this term is actually called "goose bumps" or "goose pimples" in English. Note that the word "meat" is normally used instead if animal flesh is intended as food.
2 give up: The idiom "to give up" means to stop trying or to "surrender". Example: I worked on the car for four hours and then gave up trying to fix it. Bruno says "Team Delavigne doesn't give up that easily", this means that Team Delavigne won't stop playing or forfeit the match.
