  • Hey friends you are with me Niharika and in today's lesson we are gonna look at some slang

  • terms that are used related to food and drinks. Now most of these slang terms that we are

  • gonna learn today are American slang terms, so if you are watching an American movie or

  • if you're traveling to the US then you will come across people using these slang terms

  • very commonly. So you need not get confused, here is an explanation and how you can use

  • this in your English. So the first one that I have for you isgrubor another term

  • that can be used isnosh”. Now grub and nosh are slang words used for food. So when

  • you are extremely hungry, you're starving and you need to eat some food then why use

  • the boring word food? Use the slang term grub or nosh, and how do you use it? Well you can

  • say thatoh, I am so hungry, let's go grab some grub”, orlet's go grab some nosh”,

  • okay? So here you're wanting to eat some food, right? Moving on to another one, the most

  • important one, well you can't start your day without this which is, “cup-o Joe”. So

  • what is cup-o Joe? Well glass or a cup of coffee. So this is a slang term used for coffee.

  • Now if you can't do without your morning cup of coffee then yes go ahead use this slang

  • word which iscup-o Joe’. “I need a cup-o Joe, my head is hurting”, so which

  • means that you need a cup of coffee for yourself. Moving on to another slang word that I have

  • for you isGrinderorsub”. Hmm did you guess it? Well Grinder or sub is used

  • for a sandwich, okay so it's another word or a slang term for sandwich. Now when you

  • stop by you're hungry and you stop by to buy a sandwich then you can say, “alright, let's

  • go get a grinderorlet's go get a subnow specifically when you use the slang term

  • grinder, it's actually for a long sandwich so probably say a 12-inch sandwich, yes that's

  • quite a long sandwich, right? So if you're just casually talking about a sandwich then

  • you can use the wordsubokay this is a slang term but if you are talking about

  • a long or a big sandwich that's gonna fill your tummy then you can use the slang term

  • grinder, interesting right? Let's move on to another one which isdoggie bag”.

  • Nowdoggie bag’, is that some dog food for your puppies, for your dogs? Well no we're

  • not talking about some food for your dogs or for your puppies, well doggie bag is the

  • leftover food that you eat at a restaurant and then take it at home. So you order too

  • much of food, you're in a restaurant and you ordered a lot of food and look at your table,

  • there are so many leftovers, what are you gonna do with all that food? You can eat it

  • the next day. So if you want to carry that leftover food back to your house then you

  • ask for a doggie bag. So when the waiter comes to your table and is ready to take your plates

  • and you're gonna say, “Oh I would need a doggie bag”, so he will understand that

  • you want to pack up or pack your leftover food, okay? So it's the leftover food, or

  • leftovers from restaurant alright/ Moving on to another one isbag fries”. Okay

  • bag fries, what is bag fries? Carrying French fries in a bag? Well no. Bag fries is a term

  • used for French fries but that are left to the bottom of the bag. You know at times when

  • you are munching on those amazing, oily French fries and then you see the bag is over, but

  • when you really shake it hard, yay there pops up some more fries for you which are like

  • settled at the bottom of a bag, so those fries which is stuck or settled at the bottom of

  • the bag are called asbag fries’. So next time you are munching on some delicious

  • French fries and then use spot, you shake the bag and you spot some more left fries

  • in that bag which were settled down, you're gonna give a shout, “hey I got some bag

  • fries”, okay? So I'm just gonna say that they're all settled fries that are left in

  • the bag, okay? Moving on to another one, “drummy”. What is drummy? Well the one who plays the

  • drums? No. Well drummy is a slang term that is used for chicken drumsticks. So when you

  • go to KFC and you order for some nice fried drumsticks, or youre just cooking some

  • chicken drumsticks at home, well you can say, “oh I have some drummys at home”, okay?

  • So use this slang term the next time you are eating or enjoying a chicken drumstick. The

  • next onefixings”. Well I have some fixings with this meal out here. So fixings is actually

  • a slang word for side dishes. When you order for a big meal you also get some side dishes

  • that you can relish on. For example some baked potato or some mashed potatoes or some fries,

  • so these are all side dishes with your main meal, okay? So those are called as fixings.

  • Alright, moving on to another slang word which isfrogurt”. Well you have yogurt, or

  • you have like frozen ice cream, so what is frogurt? Well the healthy frozen yogurt. Yes

  • it is very healthy. So the next time you are craving for some good dessert, well you can

  • skip on the ice cream and eat some frogurt. So frogurt is a slang word used for frozen

  • yogurt. So there are different flavours to these frozen yogurts and they're absolutely

  • delicious and guess what it's healthy, so go for it. Frozen yogurt, a slang word that

  • is used for it is frogurt, okay? Moving on to the next one is, “munchies”. Well there

  • are two ways of using this slang word, well “I am craving for some munchies”, now

  • munchies is basically that you are craving for some food or for some snack, but when

  • you say thatoh these are some munchies for you with your drinksso again munchies

  • means when you are talking about like snack food or like bar food so maybe like French

  • fries or some chips or some little bit of peanuts. Now these are all snack food that

  • you can just pop in. So this can be cold as munchies, it's a slang word for snack food,

  • okay? And then the last one that I have for you which is quite interesting, “science

  • project”. So are you working on a project? No. Wellscience projectis interestingly

  • a slang term used for spoiled food in the refrigerator. So you know we have a habit

  • of putting our leftovers in the refrigerator and then you totally forget about it, yes.

  • And then few days later when you're doing some cleaning and you spot some spoiled dirty

  • food then you can call it a ‘science project’. “Hey guess what, look at the science project

  • that was lying in the fridge for so many days.” So science project is spoiled food left in

  • the refrigerator. Alright, so these are the ten slang terms that you can use the next

  • time you are talking about food or drinks, so what are you waiting for, start using them

  • and give that twist to your English and I'll be back with a new lesson soon till then you

  • take care.
