  • Hi this Tutor Nick P and this is Noun Phrase 91. The noun phrase today is damage

  • control. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If a company or organization

  • does damage control, they try to take steps to limit or minimize you know, make

  • it as small as possible. To minimize, the amount of damage caused by some event or

  • scandal , especially a scandal. This usually suggests it is already

  • impossible to avoid the damage completely. So if you're doing damage

  • control the damage, at least probably a certain percentage of damage has already

  • been done. And you try to limit it so that you know it doesn't go way too

  • far. Okay let's continue. The British sometimes use the term damage limitation.

  • So you might hear British use damage limitation instead of damage control.

  • Americans use damage control. Okay, and here's a couple of examples here. Example

  • number one. After that scandal broke the company quickly had taken measures or

  • taken steps to do damage control. Okay. That's a typical example or number two.

  • You know, as a real-life example here. After Tiger Woods had a huge sex scandal,

  • several years ago. Yeah. It is a little while ago now. He gave a formal apology in front of

  • the media to do damage control. Yeah. Probably his press agents, probably made

  • him do this. You know, to try to save his career or so that his image did not get

  • you know, too seriously hurt. That you know, he

  • doesn't lose some major sponsors. Okay. So anyway, that is he tried to do as much

  • damage control as he could at that time. All right. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it

  • was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye- bye,
