  • Hi, everybody! My name is Alisha and today we're going to be talking about

  • 10 Phrases that You Never Want to Hear.

  • so let's get into it!

  • Have you gained weight recently?

  • The first phrase is "have you gained weight recently?"

  • If someone is asking you this question, it means you look bigger than you did before.

  • So for most people, this is not a good thing.

  • "Have you gained weight recently?" "Yeah, I have i've been eating too much junk food"

  • or "I don't think so", or "no".

  • I don't have your money today.

  • So this phrase means maybe you were expecting money from someone and they

  • don't have it for you today.

  • So if your boss says this, for example, you're probably going to be really upset.

  • "I'm sorry but I don't have your money today." "Really? I really needed it today."

  • I told you so!

  • Kids might use this phrase, I told you so, this is kind of an

  • overconfident phrase, I told you so.

  • If you say "I told you" it's a little bit lighter, but "I told you so", like, nobody

  • wants to hear that.

  • Oh, I was wrong, or maybe this other person thinks, they were correct

  • like they're making it into, like, I somehow know more than you do, so in a

  • situation, let's see...

  • "I shouldn't have gone out drinking last night, I should have gone home when you

  • went home."

  • "I told you so, drunk person!"

  • It's not you, it's me.

  • This is a very common phrase for breakups, to show like you don't want to

  • hurt the other person's feelings, it's just some problem I have,

  • but either way nobody, nobody, wants to hear this phrase, it's not, you it's me.

  • "Look, I'm really sorry but I think that it's better if we end our relationship here,

  • it's not you, it's me. it's not you, it's me, really, I'm so sorry."

  • "What? Oh! No! Please don't break up with me! No! I'll make you pie!"

  • Sorry! I forgot!

  • I'm guilty of using this phrase

  • quite a lot, unfortunately. I am a terrible forgetful human. If you're

  • hearing this phrase, that means the other person was supposed to do something, or

  • was supposed to do something, and they did not do it, they forgot about

  • it, they forgot about it completely.

  • "Did you remember to let the dog out this morning?" "Oh! Sorry, I forgot!"

  • "What? It's going to destroy the house! I can't believe you forgot!"

  • "I know, I was in such a huge rush, i'm so sorry!"

  • Thank you for your resume, however the position has been filled.

  • The next one is

  • Thank you for your resume, however the position has been filled.

  • This might be the reply that you get, thank you for your resume, so we've

  • seen your resume, we've accepted it, we've looked at it, but the job is already

  • taken, someone else is already doing the job that you applied for.

  • If it is on the phone, "thank you very much for your resume,

  • however the position has already been filled."

  • "Oh, really? Ok, well, thank you for the information."

  • We need to talk.

  • You need to talk to me, stomach.

  • Someone will often say this with a very serious tone of voice like "we need to talk".

  • Of course you can use this with your friends, you know, maybe some serious

  • secret happen, and you really want to talk to your friend about that, like we

  • need to talk.

  • But it's commonly used in romantic relationships when there's a problem, and

  • you need to discuss this problem. "We really need to talk."

  • "Okay, what do you want to talk about?" "I know that you went out with someone else

  • last weekend." "What? Yeah, I went out last weekend but it was nothing."

  • We should see other people.

  • The next phrase is "we should see other people".

  • This is another common breakup phrase, when somebody is decided they don't want

  • to be in a relationship anymore, and they will say we should see other people.

  • "See" in this case means date other people, we should, you know, be in a relationship

  • with other people.

  • "I'm really sorry to tell you this, but I think we should see other people."

  • "But, why? I've really enjoyed our relationship so far."

  • "Yeah, I don't think it's working out for me."

  • You have a grey hair.

  • I find grey hair since I was 22. For a lot of people, finding grey hair means

  • they're getting older.

  • "Oh! you have a grey hair!" "Really? where?"

  • "That's, ah! Take it out! Take it out! Oh really?! Another one! Dang!"

  • "Oh, really? Cool! I'm becoming a wizard!"

  • You're fired.

  • "You're fired" means you've lost your job,

  • meaning you no longer have a job, you stop working here as of now, or

  • in two weeks, or whatever. You don't want to hear this phrase, it means you've made

  • a big mistake probably, at work.

  • "I'm really sorry to have to tell you this but you're fired."

  • "What? But I need this job!

  • I have to support my family! I need this money!"

  • That's the end of phrases that you really don't want to hear

  • hopefully you don't have to use these phrases,

  • hopefully you don't have to hear these phrases, but if you do maybe those are

  • some ways that you can respond to them, or maybe the expected response to some

  • of those phrases. So thank you very much for joining us for this lesson! Please
