If someone gives another person the third degree, they give someone a long and detailed period of questions, often in an intimidating way. You know, in a way that it kind of is making feel uncomfortable or causing you fear. Something like that. That's the way we usually say the third degree. All right. Let's continue. The original third degree comes from the police. When we see police give an intense and thorough line of questioning to a possible suspect in order to get information or a possible confession. You know, you see this in a lot of these police shows or movies. Sometimes you see two policemen. Sometimes they play good cop, bad cop. You know one tries to be nice and the other one tries to be the mean guy. And you're going to go away forever. You know , Whatever but anyway , if they give them a lot of hard and difficult questions. You know, very intense ones. This is we say the third degree. So that's where it originally comes from. But sometimes we use it in other situations usually in a humorous way, comparing it back to the way the police do it. So let's look at number two. Anytime I bring home a new boyfriend for the first time, my father always gives him the third degree. You know , so what's your name ? Where do you come from ? What are you studying ? What are your parents do ? How much money do they make ? What are you what do you plan on doing in the future > What do you want to become ?Where are you going go to school ? And you know, blah, blah, blah. But anyway usually a lot of tough questions. You know, you know , be shooting one after another and then you know if I say well it's giving him the third degree. Okay. Good. Let's look at number three. If I break my curfew. Yeah well you know if there's still some teenagers that have a curfew. You know, curfew if that's that's the hour that you're supposed to be home by. Like if your parents told you to be home by 11:00 p.m. or 10 p.m. or or midnight or something like that. That's your curfew. So if I break my curfew and come home late. My mother always gives me the third degree. So this is probably said by like you know, a high school student or a teenager especially a young teenager. Okay good. I hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
