  • Hey Hey and welcome to the slang and idioms section.

  • In these videos we will

  • teach you important slang and idioms we think you should know and use.

  • But what is slang?

  • Slang are informal words that are only spoken with friends.

  • For example, "yo yo yo what's up".

  • I would probably not say that at an interview, but I might say that with friends.

  • Next we have idioms. And idioms are a little more confusing.

  • But why?

  • Well idioms usually mean one thing but say another.

  • For example, "he's under the weather."

  • We're not really talking about under the weather.

  • And we're not really talking about weather.

  • It means that he's not feeling well.

  • So you can see how it's a little more confusing.

  • But we have some great teachers here who will help make it more simple for you.

  • There's no time to waste.

  • Let's watch these videos and I hope you enjoy the slang idiom series.

  • Hi everybody. I'm Esther.

  • And in this video we're going to talk about a slang word.

  • And that word is 'pissed' or 'pissed off'.

  • Now before I start I want to tell you that pissed can actually have several meanings.

  • But today we're going to focus on one meaning

  • and the meaning that I want to focus on is angry.

  • okay?

  • So pissed or pissed off can mean very angry

  • or maybe upset or annoyed.

  • okay

  • So before I explain a little bit more, let's look at these example sentences.

  • The first one is 'I'm pissed'.

  • This just means I'm angry, I'm upset.

  • So again, 'I'm pissed'.

  • The next sentence is very similar 'I'm pissed off'.

  • I'm pissed off.

  • Again these two sentences have the same meaning.

  • They both mean I'm very angry about something.

  • Or I'm very angry at somebody.

  • Please also notice that we have to say pissed in the past tense.

  • We have to say it with -ed.

  • if you say I'm pissed, with the -ed, it actually has a different meaning

  • So again you must say I'm pissed or I'm pissed off to show that you're angry.

  • okay

  • Here's the last sentence.

  • I get pissed off when he lies to me.

  • That means I get angry when he lies to me.

  • Again, I get pissed off when he lies to me.

  • Let's make sure we also notice the pronunciation - pissed off.

  • pissed

  • pissed off

  • pissed

  • And let's look at the example sentence one more time.

  • I get pissed off when he lies to me.

  • And for all the women out there you understand what I mean, right?

  • When someone you care about or someone you love lies to you

  • you get angry or pissed off right?

  • So let's look at a few more example sentences together.

  • I was pissed off when the other car cut in front of me.

  • I was pissed off when the other car cut in front of me.

  • Don't get pissed off it was a mistake.

  • Don't get pissed off it was a mistake.

  • I'm pissed off that he didn't pay me back yet.

  • I'm pissed off that he didn't pay me back yet.

  • Okay so we looked at a couple example sentences.

  • And we learned the word pissed or pissed off.

  • So just remember it's a very common slang if you use it in America or another

  • english-speaking country.

  • Everybody will know that that means you're angry or upset.

  • But remember, you should probably only use this with your friends because

  • if you say this to somebody that you don't know well, it can seem a little bit rude.

  • Okay, so please remember that when you're angry try saying pissed or pissed off.

  • I'm pissed. I'm pissed off.

  • All right well I'll see you in the next video. Bye.

  • hello everyone my name is Robin and I am not married but I'm gonna teach you two

  • idioms that mean to get married all right now the first one is tie the knot

  • or to tie the knot now to tie the knot means the same as to get married all

  • right now remember it's an idiom so don't

  • think about the words in the idiom tie the knot okay you're just going to be

  • confused all you need to know is tie the knot is a common idiom and it means the

  • same as to get married all right so let's take a look at just one example

  • here I will tie the knot next week okay so again it's an idiom don't focus on

  • the words tie a knot don't focus on that it is just an idiom that means to get

  • married so I will tie the knot next week is exactly the same as I will get

  • married next week all right let's look at a few more examples okay let's look

  • at the first example for tie the knot to find happiness you must tie the knot

  • okay so someone said that to find happiness you must get married let's

  • look at the next example Tammy and Steve are tying the knot at

  • the church okay so Tammy and Steve are getting married

  • at the church and the last example after dating for five years we finally decided

  • to tie the knot all right everyone I hope you have a good understanding of

  • tie the knot let's move on to the second idiom the second idiom is get hitched

  • now get hitched is not as common as tie the knot but it is pretty common so you

  • should know it so again get hitch it means get married okay they mean the

  • same thing so let's take a look at my example here Steve got hitched last week

  • okay so instead of get hitched I'm using the past tense got because it's last

  • week get got Steve got hitched last week so we have

  • the word hitched it's an idiom don't think about the meaning of hitch it has

  • no meaning don't focus on the word just focus on what this means and this means

  • get married all right so Steve got married last week all right

  • let's look at a few more examples okay let's look at the first example forget

  • hitched they just got hitched last Sunday

  • okay so they just got married last Sunday the next example sally is getting

  • hitched next week okay so sally is getting married next week

  • and the last example I'm scared I may never get hitched okay so this person

  • scared they may never get married okay so we have a good understanding of tie

  • the knot and get hitched again they mean the same thing to get

  • married I'm not sure when I will get hitched hopefully I'll tie the knot

  • sometime soon anyway that's it for this video see you next time

  • hello everyone my name is Robin and in this video I'm going to teach you a very

  • special and fun expression to use eye candy now I candy is a little bit common

  • okay and it's very easy to learn very easy to understand very easy to use and

  • I'm sure you'll learn it very quick okay so what does eye candy mean well simply

  • eye of course means your eye and candy is some treat we usually give to

  • children something sweet and delicious now also you should give candy to your

  • girlfriend on white day that is candy so when we bring these two words together I

  • in candy eye candy that means something is sweet and delicious for your eye okay

  • well another way to explain that is you you like to look at something okay you

  • like to look at beautiful attractive and pretty things

  • those things are eye candy all right now both things and people can be eye candy

  • now I'm going to explain here I have two examples the first example your car is

  • eye candy okay so I'm telling someone your car is eye candy that means their

  • car is very attractive very nice-looking okay when I look at it I think wow it's

  • very very beautiful very nice car so I'm gonna describe it as eye candy your car

  • looks good my eyes like it the second example

  • she is eye candy okay now this is a thing but most of the time we describe

  • people as eye candy now I'm a man so I will probably describe women as eye

  • candy she is eye candy so she is hot she is

  • sexy she is very attractive I like to look at her all right I want to look at

  • her she is eye candy so usually Hollywood movies and TV shows

  • they get a lot of actors and actresses that are eye candy okay the man have

  • lots of muscles very handsome so you know when you're watching the show

  • you're very interested in them they are eye candy same with the women very

  • beautiful and sexy women they are eye candy

  • so like Girls Generation okay that's a very popular k-pop group they are eye

  • candy the men like to watch them sing and dance all right to understand I can

  • be a little bit better let's take a look at a few examples all right so the first

  • one Megan Fox was hired as eye candy for transformers Megan Fox was hired as eye

  • candy for transformers I'm enjoying all of this I candy at the beach there are

  • many girls wearing bikinis I'm enjoying all of this I candy at the beach there

  • are many girls wearing bikinis I come to this bar because the bartender's are eye

  • candy I come to this bar because the bartender's are eye candy okay so those

  • were some simple examples of how to use eye candy as I said before very easy to

  • use very easy to understand and a fun expression alright to me in Korea when I

  • watch TV or movies I like to see kim taehee okay whenever I see her I'm very

  • attracted to her I like to watch her she is certainly eye candy for me alright so

  • again this very good expression I hope you use it and I'll see you next time

  • hey this is Bill and I'm just gonna talk to you about some things you can know

  • for when you want to go to a bar to have a drink

  • and a good time all right simple ones today what we have here is a lot of

  • places you see in Western countries they will have a sign that says happy hour

  • now happy hour doesn't mean everyone stands around

  • smiling well hopefully they are because in a happy hour that means all the

  • drinks at a bar are a discount price there's a lower price for drinks maybe

  • you can get a beer one plus one or there are cocktails with

  • a lower price than what is on the normal menu now just because it's called happy

  • hour that doesn't mean it's only one hour it's not just sixty minutes

  • sometimes happy hour can go for two hours but it's still just called happy

  • hour because it really means discount time all right when all the prices are

  • lower than what you see on the normal menu okay we also have this one here it

  • is draught beer okay now this is beer that comes from a keg now a keg is a

  • large metal container that gets delivered to the bars especially okay

  • and they have to connect it so they can pour the beer into a mug what you all

  • know as sang Mex you we say draught beer now a lot of bars offer different

  • varieties of beer on draft they have many different kinds so if you're

  • talking you could ask the bar bartender excuse me what beer do you have on draft

  • that just means what beer can you get in a glass mug and not a bottle

  • right we also have this one right here a round okay

  • now around in a bar means drinks for everyone at your table okay so maybe you

  • say I will buy a round that means you will buy a drink for everyone at your

  • table all right let's look at some more examples sentences of these three things

  • okay let's look at the first example happy hour is from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00

  • p.m. cocktails are half the normal price

  • happy hour is from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

  • cocktails are half the normal price let's move on to the next example

  • draught beer tastes fresher than canned beer draught beer tastes fresher than

  • canned beer and the last example let me buy everyone a round of whiskey shots

  • let me buy everyone a round of whiskey shots so as you can see these are some

  • good things to know if you plan to go out drinking and your do remember happy

  • hour can be longer than an hour so read the sign carefully and just know you get

  • a lower price on the drinks you want to have so it's good to come for happy hour

  • and pay a discounted price and then also draught beer the beer that comes in a

  • nice mug and not a bottle alright it's very popular because many people you

  • can't get draught beer unless you go out for a to a bar and then also around hey

  • I'll buy a round makes you very popular with everyone in your group thank you

  • and have a good time

  • hello everyone my name is Robin and in this video we are gonna talk about a

  • very common important useful slang sucks okay you must know it it is so common

  • you've probably already heard it in American TV or movies all right now suck

  • or sucks is not a bad word but it is slang and it is a little bit rude or

  • impolite so you should only use it with your friends okay be careful using suck

  • or sucks now before we talk about the meaning of soccer sucks let's look at

  • the grammar now the grammar is where most of my students make make the

  • mistake using it okay so you have to follow this I suck you suck we suck they

  • suck all right she sucks he sucks it sucks ex sucks what's X will X's maybe

  • someones name like Steve sucks or some book this book sucks all right so we

  • have to follow this grammar you know it is a verb these are the rules for using

  • a verb never say they sucks okay so my students they sucks that sounds very

  • strange okay don't do that she sucks she suck oh don't do that that

  • is terrible okay they suck she sucks okay be very clear and careful with the

  • grammar please all right let's look at the meaning of suck there are two main

  • meanings the first one you're not good at something okay you're not good at

  • doing something you're terrible in my example here I suck at math I suck at

  • math so this means very simply I'm terrible at math okay I suck at math so

  • after suck you probably want at this means I'm not good at this subject

  • kid math so remember the grammar I suck I suck the next one he sucks at French

  • he sucks okay so he sucks at French he sucks at

  • French okay he's not good at friend at French okay so you're not good at

  • something you suck the other meaning you don't like something okay you're very

  • disappointed you don't like something this movie sucks okay this movie this

  • movie we would put under the X category this movie sucks

  • this movie sucks this movie is terrible this sucks it sucks

  • okay many ways to express you don't like the movie homework sucks of course

  • homework sucks I hate homework I don't like homework homework sucks

  • alright so that's the two meanings of sucks all right you got to be very

  • careful using suck or sucks follow the grammar it's very good to use very

  • useful let's look at some examples right now alright here are the examples the

  • first one you suck at playing basketball you're terrible you suck at playing

  • basketball you're terrible the next example this food sucks

  • do you have some other food this food sucks do you have some other food the

  • next example my new iPhone sucks it has too many problems my new iPhone sucks it

  • has too many problems the next example your car sucks it is dirty and old your

  • car sucks it is dirty and old the next example my job sucks I will

  • quit soon my job sucks I will quit soon and the last example this restaurant

  • sucks let's go somewhere else this restaurant sucks let's go somewhere else

  • ok so I hope you have an excellent understanding of how to use soccer sucks

  • make sure you know the grammar and I just want to talk about that again

  • because so many of my students say it wrong they want to express something as

  • bad so they say this suck or this suck okay this is so wrong and you sound

  • silly okay you sound stupid when you use wrong grammar with this slang so you

  • gotta be careful this has to be sucks this sucks this

  • sucks that S is so important okay don't forget it and you want to insult someone

  • you want to say a bad thing to someone and you say you sucks okay if you said

  • you sucks to me I'm not angry I'm laughing okay cuz it's so funny cuz

  • you're using wrong grammar you sucks haha that's funny it has to be you suck

  • okay so if you want to say something bad to someone you suck and they're gonna be

  • very angry if you say you sucks they're laughing at your grammar okay

  • be careful with this grammar it's a good slang word to use you must know it okay

  • so good luck and I hope you learned a lot in this video

  • hello everybody my name is Esther and in this video we're going to talk about a

  • slang word that comes from California that's where I'm from

  • this slang word is actually from Northern California in areas like San

  • Francisco San Jose and Oakland and this word is the slang word hella mm-hmm and

  • it actually has two different meanings so let's look at how it's used in some

  • sentences okay so here's the first example sentence this room is hella hot

  • hmm how is hella used it's used to mean the word really or very right this room

  • is very hot or this room is really hot in that case we can say this room is

  • hella hot mm-hmm so that's the first meaning let's move on to the second

  • meeting and here's another example sentence there's hella food at home hmm

  • that doesn't match the word really right let's look there's really food at home

  • it doesn't make sense actually in the second sentence hella is used to mean

  • there's a lot of or there's many things right so in this case instead of saying

  • there's a lot of food at home we can say there's hella food at home so hurry and

  • go home and eat some of that food now under hella I've written the word hecka

  • and that's because some people feel uncomfortable using the word hella right

  • because hella has the word hell right and hell can sometimes be used to

  • express an emotion that's negative or very strong right and in that case

  • people use heck right so again instead of hella some people say hecka mmm-hmm

  • so we can say there's hecka food at home again it means the same thing there's a

  • lot of food at home there's hecka food at home but if you don't want to use

  • hella you can use this one and in the same way you can use hecka to substitute

  • Halla in the first sentence as well this room is hecka hot right

  • this room is hecka hot it's very hot in here but I don't want to say hello but

  • remember again this slang word hella and hecta is actually from Northern

  • California so you might not hear it or people might not understand what you

  • mean if you use it in other places such as New York or the UK so keep that in

  • mind okay so let's look at a couple examples sentences this pizza is hella

  • good this pizza is hella good you look hella pretty you look hella pretty your

  • hair is hecka long your hair is Haeckel long there's hecka people at this

  • concert there's hecka people at this concert now

  • remember this is the sentence where you would use hecka to mean a lot of right

  • so again there's hecka people at this concert I have hella things to do I have

  • hella things to do okay so those are the ways that we can use

  • hella or hecka in our everyday speech but I want to remind you guys one more

  • time this slang is used mostly in Northern California now for those of you

  • who like and enjoy hip-hop music some hip-hop artists from

  • that area such as efore tea and the Federation use the slang word in their

  • music they use hella mostly so next time you decide to listen to some of their

  • music I hope you guys can understand a little better what they're saying and

  • what that word means okay well thanks see you guys next time

  • hi I'm Molly and in this video we will be talking about two of my favorite

  • expressions no worries and it's all good now usually

  • you can use these expressions you can use no worries the same way you can use

  • it's all good these are for small problems you just

  • want to let someone know that you're not upset it's okay it will be fine

  • not a problem so for example maybe you bump into somebody and you say oh I'm

  • sorry for bumping into you and that person might say no worries or they

  • could say it's all good I'm not hurt I'm not angry but thank you for

  • acknowledging that if we can now look at these two dialogues it will give you a

  • better idea of how to use no worries and it's all good I'm sorry I forgot your

  • gift this person can say no worries I'm not upset it's okay or we can say

  • sorry I spilled coffee on your shirt and you're not upset maybe you have another

  • shirt somewhere you can say it's all good I'm not hurt I'm not upset

  • and now these phrases are good to say for small problems but you would never

  • say for a big problem like I'm sorry your grandma died you would never

  • respond by saying no worries that's not appropriate

  • do you never never use that also one way to use no worries you can only say no

  • worries never say no worry it just it doesn't make sense so no worries and now

  • we're gonna look at some example dialogues let's look at the first

  • example dialogue I'm sorry I bumped into you no worries dialogue - I'm sorry I

  • had to cancel our plans so last minute no worries I had other plans anyway

  • dialogue 3 I'm running a few minutes late it's all good take your time

  • dialogue for I'm sorry I can't make it to your party tomorrow it's all good

  • maybe next time so now you've learned how to use these two phrases it's all

  • good and no worries no worries and it's all good are for small problems someone

  • bumps into you or spill something it's reassuring to let them know no worries

  • it's all good I'm not upset and you're okay and I'm okay so be confident and

  • don't be afraid to use these phrases so see you next time

  • hi I'm Molly and today we are going to learn about the idiom a breath of fresh

  • air now you may have heard this before but we're gonna break it down so a

  • breath what is a breath a breath is taking in air in and out like breathing

  • but only one so a breath now a breath of fresh air is usually used when either

  • the room is physically uncomfortable maybe it's too hot or too stuffy there's

  • too many people in the room there's too much going on but it can also mean

  • mentally you just need to get out you need to clear your mind maybe you're in

  • the middle of an argument or there's too many people and things going on and it's

  • uncomfortable you need to leave the room and just clear your mind so let's look

  • at the example sentence we have here I was too hot in the room I needed a

  • breath of fresh air you'll notice they don't say I need a breath of fresh air

  • just one breath a breath of fresh air so you're in a really crowded room and

  • there's lots of things going on and you decide I just need to leave I need to go

  • get a breath of new air of fresh air so that's it for a breath of fresh air

  • we're gonna look at some more example sentences let's look at the first

  • go on a walk to get a breath of fresh air

  • and finally the room was too stuffy he needed a breath of fresh air the room

  • chance to see some example sentences about a breath of fresh air we'll review

  • the two meanings one is that you are physically uncomfortable the room is too

  • hot there's too many people in it you just need to leave you're going outside

  • uncomfortable maybe you're in the middle of an argument or there's too many

  • that's it see you next time

  • hello everyone my name is Robin and in this video we're gonna talk about two

  • slang using the word jawed okay now before I talk about the slang John I'm

  • gonna talk about the name John okay it's a very common name around the world John

  • and it usually comes from Jonathan Jonathan is the full name so when

  • someone is born they're given the name Jonathan that's very big so most people

  • will just say hey John okay so it's a very common name but it is also slang

  • that means something else and let's take a look at the first slang I have a

  • sentence here I need to go to the John alright now when it's a capital J a big

  • J it is a name of a person but this is a small J okay we know it's not the name

  • of a person and I need to go to the John this is slang for a place okay what

  • place I need to go to the John well this John means the restroom or the washroom

  • I need to go to the John okay very common slang the means I need to go

  • to the restroom alright the second sentence very similar

  • I am sitting on the John okay again I'm not sitting on a person John

  • this is slang and this John means the toilet or the toilet seat okay I am

  • sitting on the toilet seat so I need to go to the John and I am sitting on the

  • John both of them.this slang is talking about the toilet all right

  • again it's very common you can hear it in America around the world and you

  • should know it let's look at a few more examples of this slang term John alright

  • so the first example dialogue excuse me where is the John it's over there thank

  • you the second example dialog where are you

  • going I need to use the John and the last example dialog there's no toilet

  • paper in the John here's some tissue Thanks

  • alright let's look at the second slang term for John I have two example

  • sentences here this John is a person their name is not John it's just a slang

  • to mean a type of person so my two sentences the first one John is lonely

  • okay and the second one police caught many John's okay

  • this John is also a little bit bad like the previous link John is toilet this

  • John means a slang that means someone a man it's never a woman a man who was on

  • the street trying to buy sex from a sex worker okay so if the man is on the

  • street trying to buy sex from a sex worker we call him a John okay so as I

  • said John is lonely they're looking on the street they're trying to get some

  • female to have sex with them and of course that is illegal to try and get

  • sex from a female on the street so police caught many John's okay they

  • caught many guys doing that it's an illegal thing so this is the second use

  • of the slang term John let's take a let's take a look at a few examples of

  • this one all right the first one there are many John's on the street tonight

  • there are many John's on the street tonight the next one the John was

  • arrested after trying to buy sex from two girls

  • that John was arrested after trying to buy sex from two girls and the last

  • example all John's have their real names published in the newspaper

  • all John's have their real names published in the newspaper so that's the

  • two slang use of John again if you need to go to the toilet you just say I need

  • to go to the John or you could ask where is the John all right and this second a

  • meaning of John the John slang of course is the guy who's looking to buy sex on

  • the street I hope you're not a John anyway so those are the two slang terms

  • using John that's it for this video see you next time

  • i this is bill and in this video I'm going to explain to you some easy online

  • gaming slang all right many people love to play games online because there's so

  • many choices out there Warcraft has been going for a long time there's the

  • Starcraft there's the new Diablo and of course every year there's a new Call of

  • Duty where people run around shooting guns killing each other online so what

  • people have been saying when they've been doing this for a long time are some

  • easy phrases here now a simple one here is to start off noob

  • okay now noob it was first newbie and that means a new person to the game so

  • someone is still learning how to play the game and they're probably making a

  • lot of mistakes so when people playing a game use the term noob they usually use

  • it to tease someone they mean it in a bad way kind of this noob has no idea or

  • this noob is easy to kill or I don't want a noob on my team because we will

  • lose all right now on the other side of that one someone who's been playing a

  • game for a long long time they have a lot of skill so they know the tricks

  • they know where to go they know how to win so someone who's very good at a game

  • they're gonna win a lot and what they say is poem it's pronounced pwned okay

  • they don't type the O but they say pwned and what this means is if you're playing

  • a game like Call of Duty with guns you shoot someone

  • say I just pwned you alright because it's like I just owned you I'm better

  • than you so I own you because I'm better alright so yeah use that but only if

  • you're winning all right if you winning you can say I just pwned you

  • because then you look very strong then simple ones here for like online games

  • with teams and things like that there are what we call NPCs that's just how

  • you pronounce it you say n P C but then like plural so just NPCs don't say s now

  • this means non-player character so in a game like Diablo these are like the

  • monsters that you fight that another player is not controlling they're just

  • part of the game that you have to go through so maybe you're playing on a

  • team in Warcraft and you say things like these NPCs are really tough that means

  • difficult you're having a hard time finishing the level because all the

  • monsters or soldiers you have to fight are very difficult to get through so we

  • say NPCs characters that are part of the game non player characters now if you

  • think that means non-player character there's also pcs now not personal

  • computers like the PC room when online gaming slang when you're talking or

  • typing if you write pcs we say pcs this means player characters these are the

  • characters in the game that other people are controlling alright so maybe we need

  • more pcs to join so maybe you're trying to plan something in a game that

  • requires a lot of players so you need more pcs to join your team before you

  • can go and finish what level you're trying to do so one more time

  • we have noob for the new person so if you see someone running around in

  • circles they don't know what they're doing this noob has no idea or I hate

  • newbs because they don't understand the game and of course I just pwned you or

  • I'm honing a lot today means I'm winning a lot today there

  • have these NPCs are really tough these monsters are tough the NPCs of the game

  • are giving us a lot of difficulty and then PCs we need more pcs to join Oh

  • there's many pcs playing today just means there's many people playing today

  • okay I hope that helps you with your online gaming and I hope to see you next

  • time thank you

  • hi my name is Molly and in this video we are going to be learning about the idiom

  • we're not not my cup of tea is talking about anything that you don't like for

  • example I don't like wearing makeup so I might say wearing makeup is not my cup

  • of tea I prefer not to wear makeup so you never want to say it's not my cup of

  • coffee or it's not my cup of coke it's never talking about anything besides tea

  • cup of tea so now that you've seen a few examples sentences let's review it's not

  • my cup of tea so we're not talking about tea we're just talking about anything

  • that you don't like to do so you don't like scary movies you don't

  • hi this is bill I've got a special video for you about slang now I hope you

  • already know but I'll tell you slang is a different way of speaking English it's

  • kind of like people use words differently than you see in the

  • dictionary but it's normally a large group of people are saying it this way

  • so it becomes more common than you'd think

  • okay now I'm gonna tell you some examples of British slang because if

  • you're ever watching television from England or a movie from England you may

  • hear the characters speak differently than you would hear in from American

  • speakers or Canadian speakers so I've got some examples here on how they speak

  • British slang because well the British invented English but they speak it very

  • differently all right so the word we all know woman okay oh that is a very

  • beautiful woman or she's a pretty woman now we understand that but now British

  • slang oh she's a pretty bird oh look at that bird over there

  • now when they say look at that bird over there they don't really mean like that

  • bird woman from someone living in England say oh look at the bird at the

  • bar she looks good cheeky all right now that's one there we

  • also have truck we all know that trucks making noise on the road all right hey

  • well when the truck drives by it's very loud now over in British slang they call

  • a truck a lorry okay I'm waiting for the lorry to deliver my

  • package or there's a delivery lorry on the road or the moving men are coming in

  • a lorry the moving men are coming in a truck have that one trunk for lorry

  • now we all know this apartment my apartment is too small well in ink

  • and British slang my flat is too small I want to move to a bigger flat I want to

  • move to a bigger apartment it's all the same thing again slang of britain same

  • thing here we all know elevators we I hate being in elevators

  • but in an elevator you got to get in the elevator or if you're in England you use

  • the lift please take the elevator to the fifth floor ah please take the lift to

  • the fifth floor that again British slang they changed elevator to lift now here's

  • one that I really like an old friend of mine used this a lot we have air in here

  • we say an idiot you know what an idiot he's stupid all right but British slang

  • they say ah what a knob he's stupid or like oh look at that knob over there I

  • don't like him alright we use knob to refer to a stupid

  • person in British slang okay now there's lots of different ways that people speak

  • English all around the world that's probably why it's so hard to learn but

  • these are just five examples of British slang from words we all know and we see

  • almost every day okay I hope that helps you and I'll see you again next time

  • thank you

  • hi everybody I'm Esther and in this video we're going to talk about a slang

  • word that is what's up mm-hmm so what's up can be used in two ways the first way

  • is a way to greet people to say hi and actually when we say what's up

  • it means hi how are you or what are you doing these days right what are you up

  • to these days so that's the first way we use what's up

  • the second way is to ask what's wrong is something wrong is something bad

  • happening to you right so those are the two ways that we can use what's up so

  • let's look at these example sentences here's the first one

  • hey Susie what's up hey Susie what's up so this person a is asking Susie hey

  • Susie how are you or hey Susie what are you up to these

  • days what are you doing these days and here are some ways you can answer

  • nothing much that means there's nothing special happening in my life I'm not

  • doing much or maybe if they said hey Susie what's up

  • Susie can say I'm going to the movies she would just say what she's doing

  • right another way remember the second way is to ask what's wrong is everything

  • okay so here is how we would use it you look upset

  • what's up again you look upset what's up what's wrong and maybe this

  • person would say I lost my wallet that's why they're upset I lost my wallet so

  • you can say why you look upset what's going on what's wrong now let's look at

  • how to pronounce it one more time what's up it's almost like what's and up are

  • blended like they're connected what's up and I also

  • want to mention that some people say what up they take out the s what up or

  • some people even just say sup right sup that means the same thing

  • but I want you guys to make sure that you use what's up and that's the best

  • way to say it let's look at a few more example sentences together okay let's

  • look at some examples long time no see what's up long time no see what's up I

  • was surprised to get your call what's up I was surprised to get your call what's

  • up what's up with you these days what's up with you these days

  • are you crying what's up are you crying what's up okay so we've looked at some

  • example sentences now let me remind you that what's up is a great way to say

  • hello or how are you but remember only to somebody that you know well so maybe

  • a friend maybe family if you're very close but never in a business

  • conversation and never in a formal conversation where you're meeting with

  • somebody very important in those cases you just want to say how are you not

  • what's up okay all right well I hope this video helped you guys learn more

  • English and see you next time bye

  • hi everybody I'm Esther and in this video I'm going to teach you an

  • important sling used to describe women now women in Korea are very beautiful

  • and maybe the reason is that they spend a lot of time and money on things like

  • their hair clothes makeup nails things like that right so in English the Shlaim

  • that we use to describe women who spend a lot of time and money to look nice are

  • called high maintenance again high maintenance

  • maybe they spend maybe one or two hours getting ready right they spend a lot of

  • time to look nice so maybe they're always late and people always have to

  • wait for them and remember high-maintenance girls also spend a lot

  • of money so I don't know what's a lot of money to some people but yes they spend

  • a lot of money or maybe their boyfriend's money on clothes hair and

  • any other things to look nice so let's look at these examples sentences first

  • she is high maintenance again high maintenance describes the girl so she is

  • high maintenance now the opposite of high maintenance is low maintenance

  • right opposite of high is low so we say a girl is low maintenance if she doesn't

  • spend a lot of time or money to look nice she can still look nice but maybe

  • she's a little bit more casual right instead of wearing a dress maybe she'll

  • wear a t-shirt and jeans and maybe some sneakers instead of high heels or maybe

  • she won't wear that much makeup anyways a low maintenance girl doesn't spend too

  • much time or money on the way she looks so here's the next example sentence

  • he likes low maintenance girls right there are some guys who like low

  • maintenance girls more he likes low maintenance girls ok well let's look at

  • some more example sentences together let's look at these examples she's very

  • high maintenance she spends $200 on makeup every month she's very high

  • maintenance she spends $200 on makeup every month his girlfriend is too high

  • maintenance he's thinking about breaking up with her his girlfriend is too high

  • maintenance he's thinking about breaking up with her I like casual low

  • maintenance girls I like casual low maintenance girls she never wears makeup

  • she's low maintenance she never wears makeup she's low maintenance okay so in

  • this video we learned the slang high maintenance we learned that we use it to

  • describe a woman who spends a lot of time and money to look nice and we also

  • learned that the opposite is low maintenance a woman who doesn't spend

  • too much time or money to look nice now you can use high maintenance or low

  • maintenance to also describe men but it's not very common and yeah lots of

  • people wouldn't really say that and I also want to point out that in America

  • most men like low maintenance women being high maintenance isn't a bad thing

  • but men think that if a woman is low maintenance they don't have to spend so

  • much money or time or be stressed because of that woman so they think it

  • will be a simpler relationship and things like that so I think that

  • important to remember all right well thanks for joining and hope to see you

  • guys next time bye

  • hi I'm Molly and today we're going to be talking about a sweet expression puppy

  • love now we're not talking about puppies we're talking about older children or

  • teenagers and it might be their first relationship it's not it's not a sexual

  • relationship it's very sweet and innocent and they're young and they're

  • in a relationship and it's called puppy love

  • maybe they spend all their time together or they just really enjoy a young and

  • innocent relationship here's an example sentence they spend all their time

  • together it must be puppy love now usually when

  • you just meet someone you're excited and you just spend a lot of time together

  • it's a very playful innocent young love now let's look at some example sentences

  • the first example puppy love is always sweet and innocent puppy love is always

  • sweet and innocent the second example they were too young for a real

  • relationship it was just puppy love they were too

  • young for a real relationship it was just puppy love and the last

  • example it was her first boyfriend it was puppy love it was her first

  • boyfriend it was puppy love so now you've seen

  • some examples of puppy love and just to review we're not talking about puppies

  • we're just talking about a young innocent love between older children or

  • young teenagers my niece called me the other day and she told me I have this

  • new boyfriend and I'm not worried because she's 13 and it's just an

  • innocent young love it's puppy love so I hope next time you see a cute couple

  • hi I'm Molly and in this video we're going to be talking about the expression

  • I don't kiss and tell now this is usually used if someone

  • really wants to know the details of a new date that you had or maybe an outing

  • that you had with a boy and they are curious they want to know all the juicy

  • details what did you do where did you go maybe what you did after the date

  • usually this is kind of a sexual question like so what do you do last

  • night on your date and you might say you know I don't want to tell you that's

  • private I don't kiss and I don't tell I don't kiss and tell

  • so let's look at our example sentence hey Sara what happened on your date Sara

  • this friend of Sarah's is really curious she wants to know all the juicy details

  • and Sarah's saying I don't kiss and tell so I'm not gonna tell you that's private

  • that's not your business so a lot of friends might ask you you know what

  • happened after the date they'll wink at you or something and you'll say I'm not

  • gonna tell you I don't kiss and tell so hopefully now you can use this phrase

  • let's look at some example sentences let's look at the example dialogues did

  • he kiss you goodnight I don't kiss and tell

  • did he kiss you goodnight I don't kiss and tell what did you do after the movie

  • I don't kiss and tell what did you do after the movie I don't kiss and tell

  • and the last example was he a gentleman to you I don't kiss and tell

  • was he a gentleman to you I don't kiss and tell

  • now that you've seen a few examples of I don't kiss and tell

  • the next time a friend of yours a friend who is way too curious about your

  • personal love life they might ask you you know how was the date and you can

  • ways you can use the word ugly now everybody knows what ugly means it's

  • really just ugly and disgusting and horrible so two words you can use our

  • feet and nasty now the first word we're going to talk about is beep when you use

  • the word beat it is when you're describing somebody very ugly a person

  • you don't like just appearance-wise so this sentence she has a beep face you

  • can use that when you're out with your friends or you're just having a good

  • time with some people and this girl comes and her face is ugly so you would

  • say she has beep face her face is ugly it I want to puke turn my eyes next one

  • that is a beet looking girl now you use this when you see somebody maybe some of

  • you don't like maybe just some stranger or just some ugly person and she's just

  • all over beat her hair is dirty her face is not cute she needs more makeup her

  • clothes don't match her shoes are ugly and garbage looking and she just looks

  • horrible and you would just say that is a beet looking girl she is all over ugly

  • she needs to stay home things like that so let's take a look at nasty alright my

  • next word is nasty now remember nasty beat and ugly all

  • mean the same thing so this sentence she is nasty looking now when you say that

  • it means her face is horrible her face is ugly you see her and you just want to

  • turn away she looks like the trashcan alright this one she has the nastiest

  • hair now you use this when you see this girl but you don't like

  • or something like that and her hair is long and two-tone but not pretty like

  • it's blond and black and it just needs to get colored and it looks like she

  • hasn't taken a shower in a week it's just dirty and it's so ugly and that's

  • why you would say nastiest like the worst ugliest hair ever like if you were

  • to walk out of the house like that you would be so embarrassed now let's look

  • at the examples I don't like to date beat girls I don't like to date beat

  • girls beat girls make me uncomfortable big girls make me uncomfortable there

  • are some beat girls in this bar there are some beat girls in this bar her face

  • is so beat her face is so beat that is a nasty outfit that is a nasty outfit her

  • new dress is nasty her new dress is nasty she has a nasty

  • face she has a nasty face his girlfriend is so nasty his girlfriend is so nasty

  • all right to review nasty and B they mean the same as ugly so don't forget

  • that they are all the same and you could use them for many different expressions

  • but if somebody calls you beat or nasty you just want to punch them in the face

  • because if you got a good-looking face you know you shouldn't be called nasty

  • or being so they deserve a punch and thanks for watching

  • hey this is bill and I've got a video for you about smoking cigarettes all

  • right now in a lot of foreign countries they don't really like people smoking

  • cigarettes everywhere so you got to be careful when you're traveling that you

  • choose to smoke in the right places now usually you will see a sign that just

  • says smoking area whether this is in an outside place or even a bar or

  • restaurant you should try to find a sign that says smoking area if you cannot

  • find a sign an easy thing to do and this is what I always did in America is just

  • check the ground and if you see people have thrown down their trash cigarettes

  • on the ground that means many people have been smoking there so it's probably

  • okay if you do too all right now but if you are in a nice

  • place that's gonna let you smoke the first thing you should ask for is an

  • ashtray okay this is so you can it properly

  • put your cigarette ashes and then also trash out your cigarettes in the nice

  • ashtray so may I please have an ashtray let's check the read you say oh yeah I

  • just did that okay now if you're the kind of person you don't know where to

  • buy cigarettes or your ran out or maybe you just want to have one what you can

  • say to ask someone for a cigarette a very common expression would be can i

  • bum a smoke now smoke means a cigarette okay so if you say to someone can i bum

  • a smoke you're just asking may I have one cigarette please you say that to

  • someone you see someone smoking in the restaurant or in the bar you ask them

  • and if they're nice they will share their cigarettes with you or they'll say

  • I don't bum cigarettes if they're rude who knows

  • but now also sometimes you go into a convenience store or maybe you're in a

  • bar and maybe you don't usually smoke maybe smoking is something you don't do

  • very often so here's a phrase you can ask you can ask do you sell lucy's now a

  • loosey means a single cigarette because you don't want an entire box of

  • cigarettes you just want one so that's what we call a loosey and they'll sell

  • it at you know a low price because you're just buying one cigarette some

  • bars do this and also some convenience stores for the people who don't really

  • smoke maybe just on the weekend or maybe you're in a bar and you had too much to

  • drink so now you want a cigarette you can ask do you sell Lucy's so one

  • more time find your smoking area because that's

  • okay nobody's gonna bother you if you're

  • smoking in a smoking area if you're sitting in a restaurant or a bar ask for

  • an ashtray please may I have an ashtray that's where you can put your cigarettes

  • when you're finished and then there is oh I have no cigarettes

  • well maybe you see someone smoking or maybe your friend has some cigarettes

  • hey can i bum a smoke and if you're nice and you smile they'll probably give you

  • one but if nobody has any ask the bartender or the convenience store

  • person hey did you sell Lucy's and maybe they'll have a pack that they'll take

  • out one cigarette and they'll sell you just one cigarette if that's all you

  • need okay I hope this was helpful for you and I hope to see you next video

  • thank you

  • hi this is Bill and right now I'm going to teach you an idiom

  • now this idiom is very common people use it a lot and actually everybody uses it

  • old people young people it's that common that it's easy to use with whoever you

  • are talking to and that idiom is gut feeling okay now you see it here I

  • underlined it in blue now first let me explain to you gut because that might be

  • a new word for you now your gut is just right here this part of your body kind

  • of your stomach okay but now a gut feeling isn't like a sick feeling that's

  • not what it means okay a gut feeling is just kind of like an

  • inside feeling you have just kind of a instinct maybe but just something you

  • have an idea you can't really explain why you have this feeling it's just a

  • gut feeling okay and sometimes a gut feeling can be a good thing or a bad

  • thing now the sentence I have up here I have a gut feeling today's going to be a

  • good day now by saying I have a gut feeling that just means something inside

  • you is just telling you today is going to be a good day you don't know why you

  • just have this idea today's gonna be a good day or there's the opposite here

  • you could just say I have a gut feeling this is gonna be a bad day now that just

  • means something is telling you today's not gonna be good okay again more of

  • like an instinct kind of feeling alright now we're gonna look at some written

  • examples of gut feeling being used now take a look at sentences you

  • the idiom gut feeling that couple fights all the time I have a gut feeling they

  • will break up soon the sky is so dark I have a gut feeling that rain is coming I

  • have a gut feeling something good is about to happen okay so there you saw

  • ways that we can use the idiom gut feeling now there's lots of different

  • ways you can do it as long as you remember it's just an inside feeling

  • that's giving you an idea about what's going to happen okay

  • maybe you look out the window and you see a lot of gray clouds so you have a

  • gut feeling it's gonna rain soon okay maybe you buy a lotto ticket and

  • you have a gut feeling it's going to be a winner just you get a feeling from

  • inside that tells you something's gonna happen maybe it's good maybe it's bad

  • but your gut feeling it's just a feeling you got more about instinct than

  • anything all right and I have a gut feeling that your English is getting

  • better and you learned a lot from this video see you next video

  • hi I'm Robin and in this video I'm gonna talk about the idiom it's raining cats

  • and dogs all right now this is example of a perfect idiom okay it's a good

  • example of a idiom and remember an idiom means the words in the expression or the

  • sentence does not match the meaning of the sentence

  • okay so idioms are very difficult to understand sometimes so let's look at

  • this again it's raining cats and dogs so the words in the sentence does not match

  • the meaning of the sentence if you just looked at the words it's raining cats

  • and dogs that means it's raining cats and dogs

  • okay so you got to be careful with idioms don't focus on the words so it's

  • raining cats and dogs what does that mean well that means very simply it's

  • raining a lot okay there's a lot of rain so when someone says it's raining cats

  • and dogs of course that does not mean it's raining cats and dogs it just means

  • it's raining a lot now this is a very fun idiom to use and it's very common

  • and there's one more thing I want to tell you about this idiom okay so it's

  • raining cats and dogs as I said is really fun idiom to use when it's

  • raining a lot alright but I'm going to teach you another joke we can use or say

  • when someone says it's raining cats and dogs now look at my dialogue it's a

  • little bit difficult to understand so listen carefully person a says the idiom

  • it's raining cats and dogs now person B says a joke he replies and

  • this is a common reply as a joke don't step in a poodle don't step in a poodle

  • okay now why is this funny well it's a little bit difficult to understand

  • because first you have to understand what a pun is now a pun is a word with

  • they can have two meanings and the pun in this sentence is poodle it has two

  • meanings now it's raining cats and dogs that means it's raining a lot so when it

  • rains a lot on the ground or on the street some water collects okay now that

  • is called a puddle okay so when it's raining and there's some water you can

  • step in the water that is called a puddle okay so when when it's raining

  • you don't want to step in the puddle but he's telling a joke it's raining cats

  • and dogs don't step in a poodle okay so he should say don't step in a puddle

  • the water but as a joke he says poodle don't step in a poodle now why does he

  • say that because it's raining cats and dogs and the poodle is a type of dog so

  • that don't if it's raining cats and dogs don't step in the poodle okay this is

  • just a joke okay anyway the common idiom it's raining cats and dogs feel free to

  • use that it's very common everyone knows it some people might add this joke it's

  • not so funny but it's just a joke all right I hope you understand see you next

  • time

  • hello everyone I am Robin and in this video we're gonna take a look at the

  • idiom nature's call or sometimes it's said as the call of nature

  • okay now this idiom means one thing and that means if someone said that they

  • need to go to the toilet they need to go to the restroom alright so they don't

  • want to say directly I need to go to the toilet that might sound a little bit

  • rude okay so they use this idiom to be more

  • polite and it's a little bit funny okay nature's call or the call of nature

  • let's take a look at a couple of dialogues here so maybe I'm at a party

  • and I have to go to the restroom so I stand up and someone asks me where are

  • you going okay I again I don't want to say I'm

  • going to the toilet that sounds a little rude so I could just say nature's call

  • okay and then that person would understand I'm going to the restroom

  • okay instead of nature's call sometimes some

  • people will say nature's calling okay that's okay too nature's call nature's

  • calling alright let's move on my teacher asks

  • why are you late why are you late I had to answer the call of nature

  • okay this one looks a little more complicated but they mean the same thing

  • okay so why are you late I had to go to the restroom he doesn't want to say that

  • or she doesn't want to say that so they say I had to answer the call of nature

  • all right and then the teacher would understand oh they were in the restroom

  • that's why they are late all right let's take a look at a few more dialogues to

  • understand it better all right let's look at the first dialogue did you sleep

  • well no I kept waking up to nature's call did

  • sleep well no I kept waking up to nature's call the next dialog why did

  • you leave the movie I had to answer the call of nature why did you leave the

  • movie I had to answer the call of nature and the next dialog where are you going

  • so fast nature's calling where are you going so

  • fast nature's calling and the last dialog why are you starting

  • your break early nature calls why are you starting your break early

  • nature calls so this is a great idiom to use when you don't want to say toilet or

  • restroom okay it's polite and it's a little bit funny you know both men and

  • women can use it it's very common when you say it everyone will understand okay

  • nature's call or some people say nature's calling or the call of nature

  • alright that's it for this video see you next time

  • all right hi this is Bill and I just so you know I love baseball longest game in

  • American history all right now what we have here is I've made a very bad

  • drawing but it'll do us well here so what we have here is I've made the

  • infield and of course you know it all starts at home with the hitter you know

  • and then of course we've got our first base our second base and our third base

  • and this right here that's where the pitcher stands right like that so he can

  • throw the ball to home plate here all right now what I'm going to explain to

  • you today is just how a player how the hitter is gonna get on base now the

  • first way a hitter can get on base is what we would call a walk or a base

  • on balls now that means that the pitcher here he's throwing bad and the hitter

  • just watch one no two three four he throws four balls okay that's not a

  • strike you know three strikes out but four balls there you go you get to go to

  • first base that is a walk or a base on balls now that might not be exciting

  • because no one's actually hitting the ball that's more exciting so now if the

  • hitter at home plate here he's standing there and he swings and he hits the ball

  • out here and he gets to first base that's a single okay he gets to first

  • base he's safe that's a single for him all right now if he's very lucky he goes

  • ahead and he hits the ball it goes a little farther and then he can run four

  • space to second base he gets to second base

  • all safe he gets a double that's a double he hit a double all right and

  • then not very common this one's not normal but sometimes a very fast man

  • like a jong-wook he can hit the ball and it goes out here and someone fast like a

  • John Wilk he can run to first to second to third

  • and third base safe that we call a triple okay

  • not many baseball players can hit a triple but the fast ones they can do it

  • now again if you're the strong baseball player the strong hitter well then maybe

  • you can hit a ball so far that it goes out of the stadium and when that happens

  • don't don't don't don't home run okay what they say is he hit a

  • home run now he's going to touch them all touch first touch second touch third

  • home all is good home run the most exciting thing in baseball so if we

  • think about it one more time you get to first base safe

  • you got a single you get to second base that's a double you get to third you got

  • a triple or boom Big Shot home run and then remember if the pitcher he's

  • throwing bad you might get a walk or a base on balls and it's like a free walk

  • to first base all right that's words for getting on

  • base I hope it helped you thank you for watching

  • hi I'm Robin and in this video I'm going to teach you a common catchphrase

  • what's a catchphrase well a catchphrase is something that people like to say it

  • can be a sentence or a word and they like to use it for fun

  • okay now the catchphrase today is see you later alligator see you later

  • alligator all right I wrote it here see you later

  • alligator now see you later alligator is a catchphrase and it's more for fun with

  • children all right see you later this is a way to say goodbye see you later

  • but when we're talking to children we can say see you later alligator okay

  • why because later an alligator they sound similar they rhyme

  • see you later alligator okay so when you say that to someone usually a child see

  • you later alligator they will reply after a while crocodile

  • after a wild crocodile so later rhymes with alligator while

  • rhymes with crocodile so it's a catchphrase it's something fun to say

  • with children and sometimes adults use it too just for fun so if someone says

  • to you see you later alligator you should answer after a while crocodile

  • all right that's the catchphrase it is common that's it then see you next time

  • hello everyone my name is Robin and in this video we are going to talk about

  • puns okay now puns very difficult to

  • understand very difficult to hear and very difficult to use so this video is

  • an advanced video and I don't expect my students to start making their own puns

  • very soon so this video is more for fun just to understand a little bit of

  • English word play now what is a pun well a pun is kind of

  • a word used in a joke and the word has two meanings okay so to help you we're

  • just gonna jump into an example and I have a very simple example here Korea

  • has Seoul this is a pun the word that is upon is soul because soul has two

  • meanings of course now when I say Korea has soul this is s

  • o UL that soul means Korea has some spirit or some energy but of course it

  • has another meaning because soul the spelling is different but the sound is

  • the same soul is a city in Korea so when we say Korea has soul that's kind of a

  • joke because the soul has two meanings okay now pun jokes are kind of not

  • really haha funny usually when someone says a pun joke everyone is kind of

  • quiet and maybe we hear crickets so if I said Korea has soul maybe everyone's

  • yeah okay all right so let's take a look at a couple other examples of pun jokes

  • to help you understand I have two more examples here to help you understand the

  • pun jokes okay the jokes they use a pun again they're not really haha funny you

  • just kind of okay so the next one here my bicycle fell my bicycle fell because

  • it's too tired my bicycle fell because it's too tired all right so the blue

  • word that's the pun and again a pun has two meanings so why is this funny or not

  • so funny too tired alright so again two meanings the first meaning my bicycle

  • has two tires okay the front tire and the back tire so

  • has only two tires so it fell but there's also a second meaning T it's too

  • tired sounds like T 0:02

  • very tired so my bicycle fell because it's very tired alright so too tired

  • sounds like two titres and too tired very tired

  • alright so that's what makes the pun funny yes two meanings the next one I

  • used to be a banker but I lost interest I used to be a banker but I lost

  • interest okay this is the pun this word has two meanings the first meaning is

  • interest I'm interested okay so he lost interest he's no longer interested in

  • banking so he's not a banker anymore that's one meaning a second meaning is

  • interest is actually a bank term bank vocabulary when you put money in the

  • bank okay every year the bank will give you

  • interest for example six percent or 4 percent they give you interest every

  • year so he's not a banker anymore because he lost interest which would

  • mean he lost money all right so this is funny I used to be a banker

  • but I lost interest because interest is a pun it has two meanings first meaning

  • he's not interested in the banking business anymore and the second meaning

  • he lost some money okay all right let's move on to one last one all right the

  • last joke I'm gonna show you actually has two puns

  • and you can decide if it's funny or not alright here's the joke so there's a

  • question in answer the question how do celebrities stay cool

  • how do celebrities stay cool of course celebrities are famous people stars

  • talents how do celebrities stay cool they have many fans okay that's the joke

  • and as I said there's actually two puns so the question how do celebrities stay

  • cool okay so cool has two meanings the first meaning is cool cold okay not hot

  • not warm so how do they stay cold the second meaning is cool you know wearing

  • sunglasses they're cool all right very good very cool so the two meanings of

  • cool they have many fans of course there's

  • the pun and the pun has two meanings the first meaning is fan when you're hot you

  • have the machine blowing air that's the fan and of course the other meaning the

  • second meaning of fan is when you're very famous and popular people like you

  • they're your fans they're screaming and they want your signature your autograph

  • those are fans okay so how do celebrity stay cool they have many fans all right

  • so this is funny because we can recognize there's two meanings here so

  • you could read this the first way how do celebrities stay cool not hot they have

  • many fans machines at them to stay cool or how does

  • celebrities stay cool they have many fans people screaming all

  • right funny okay yeah well these are pun jokes some people like them very

  • advanced English okay because you have to know you have to have a very good

  • vocabulary you have to know the word and it's two meanings to understand the joke

  • all right that's it I hope you enjoyed the puns video and I

  • hope you can maybe create your own pun one day or understand it when someone
