And it is a Internet slang!

The first impression in people's mind on the term 明月 is 'bright moon' not 'next month'. I can understand, to avoid confusion, people would choose to say "下一個月" or "下月" instead of "明月"
We do say "下一年" or "下年" along with "明年" for "next year"
As for saying 明天/ 明日 instead of 下天/ 下日:
明天 is specifically referring to "the day after today" = "tomorrow". There ...

Where does this quote come from? “How can you say you have no clothes? I’ll share my robe with you”?
The quote is from an ancient Chinese poem collection 诗经（詩經 the Book of Odes）. The original full poem is as follows (the quote in question is the first eight characters in the poem):
岂曰无衣？与子同袍。王于兴师，修我戈矛。与子同仇。
岂曰无衣？与子同泽。王于兴师，修我矛戟。与子偕作。
岂曰无衣？与子同裳。王于兴师，修我甲兵。与子偕行。
If you prefer traditional Chinese, below is the same poem in traditional Chinese:
豈曰無衣？與子同袍。...

To be specific, you can use '幼犬' (infant/small dog) for 'puppy'.

說你胖 > Flattery of others.
喘上了 > Agree and start to self bragging.
For instance:
A: Your father is handsome, no wonder you are handsome.(說你胖)
B: No, I'm more handsome than my father, everyone says that.(喘上了)
Others flatter you, you take it seriously, and then start boasting.

I think it's some sarcastic answer to make him notice how he's full of himself
Yes, that's basically what it means.
“说你胖 你还喘上了” literally means, "you start (pretending) to breathe heavily soon as you're said to be fat", it is an expression/slang used metaphorically to say someone's pretending to be (more of) something he/she is said to be (usually out of ...

百郎妲 /Bǎi láng dá/ is a transliteration of your name Brenda

The drug formulation was marketed under that name White Plus Black label in 1996 and apparently was sold to Bayer in 2008. Bayer then used the brand to launch their other stuff in China.

It will make a lot of sense if you see this word in some video channel comments to mention the holder (Youtuber or uploader on other websites).
“老” or "老是" by itself means "often".
As is also mentioned in other answers “鸽” is short for the slang "放鸽子" (release a pigeon) which means one can not keep his promise. Now a days it is a very popular word to ...

There is a way for distinction: intonation
As stated by the OP, the meaning is clear once we know whether the sentence is declarative or a question. The key point about identifying the sentence type in a conversation, other than the context, is intonation.
Example:

特朗普先生、蓬佩奥先生，你们收到了很多警告。
Mr Trump, Mr Pompeo, you received a lot of warnings.
到目前为止，
up to now,
美国人民还没有完全认清你们的鲁莽。

你们已经干得够多了。
haven't you already been reckless enough?
你们没有羞耻感吗？
Shouldn't you (both) feel ashamed?
特朗普: 迈克，请允许我回答。
Trump: Allow me to answer that, Mike.
特朗普: 小姐，情况是这样，...

It's meant to be sarcastic, as in "Haven't you done ENOUGH already?!"
Indeed, the original article in English was:
There was plenty of warning, Messrs. Trump and Pompeo. To this moment, Americans have not fully gauged your recklessness. You have done enough. Have you no shame?

You have done so many (trash) things
"你干的事" "他干的事" has irony meaning.
it means "awful things you have done" ,"Do bad things behind your back" not just "things" or "work".
"你瞧瞧你干的好事" look what you have done.(blame)

Also can say like
1.我該如何去你的學校?
2.我該怎麼去你的學校?
3.要到你學校該怎麽走?
It's not really same using 怎麼走到你的學校
Because the word "走" in here is just like walk, but if in the 3rd one is means how to get there as a spoken language. So 怎麼走到你的學校 is more like How do I walk to your school. You can also use 去 like go to or to go . 怎麼去?== How to get there?

1.到你的学校怎么走
3.你的学校怎么走
They are ok,and 3. is a very authentic way to say it.

You can add one word to make this sentence authentic:
2'. 怎么走到你的学校去

The second one 怎么走到你的学校 reads as "how to walk to your school". You should avoid use this expression if you are trying to traffic with other methods (public traffic, vehicle for example).
你的学校怎么走 or 要去你的学校，我该怎么走 means "how to traffic to your school". Based on your context, it includes all transportation method.
我该怎么去你的学校 literally "how can I get to your ...

Another option is 去你學校該怎麽走？ (To your school, how should we go about it?)

It should be"你的學校要怎麼走"or"我要怎麼到你的學校"
