Somebody could act dumb or act stupid too. So let's take a look at the note here. So if someone plays or acts dumb or stupid, he or she pretends that they don't have knowledge about something or how to do something. Basically, it means to act ignorant. Act like you just don't know, you never learned on purpose. Often because someone doesn't want to do something or as a way of getting out of doing something. So you often play dumb or play stupid. All right. So let's take a look at several examples. Here is the first example. This one we hear probably the most. Many wives complain that their husbands will play dumb in order to get out of doing some house chores . Like Huh ? I don't know how to do that. What ? Rag ? What do I wipe it like this ? Well what do I do ? Something like that and maybe the wife will just give up in frustration. Or number two here. Don't play dumb with me. Yeah. You might say that to somebody. I know you know how to do this. Whatever this is. You know so Don't play dumb with me. . Don't play stupid with me. Okay or number three. If anyone else asks just pretend that you don't know. Okay. Play stupid and you'll get by. Basically just don't admit to anything just pretend like you don't know you know. If there's no proof or evidence. Maybe you can get by. All right. Number four. If the investigators ask any questions just play dumb and pretend you don't. All right so this is the way you will hear this used and this is the way we use it all the time. Okay. Anyway,, I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
