This thing here is called a "nose", and we have many expressions or idioms using the

So, first of all, again, pronunciation, it's not: "nose-see-e".

It's a homophone, and it sounds like this word in English.

A "homophone" is a word that sounds exactly the same as another word, but the meaning

I have a beautiful rhyme for you: Nobody knows what Rosy knows when she blows her nose in

Rosy, don't blow your nose in your underclothes.

For some reason in English we have many idioms and expressions using parts of the body, and

I've narrowed it down to ten that I think are the most useful.

I've told you guys before that I find idioms to be a little bit, I don't know, old-fashioned,

I don't think we use them a lot, but these ones we do, so that's why I'm teaching them

The first one is: "Keep your nose clean".

So that doesn't mean you pick your nose; it just means that you don't do anything bad.

Now, when I was researching this, I thought: "What could you possibly do bad with your

I think this might have to do with drugs, specifically drugs that you inhale; cocaine.

So, maybe this came from not doing cocaine.

So: "Keep your nose clean" means don't do cocaine.

So: "Keep your nose clean" means don't do anything bad.

Another expression we have is: "Keep your nose to the grindstone."

A "grindstone" is a stone that you would use to grind something.

So, "grind" means take something from a solid into a powder.

You can take corn and make it corn powder, or wheat.

So, a grindstone, if you're a worker, you want to make sure that you... you're not looking

up and you're actually focusing on your work.

So: "Keep your nose to the grindstone" means: "Do your job.

But: "Keep your nose to the grindstone" means just: "Hey.

This is a great word: "He or she is nosey".

"Nosey" means that the person is asking you too many personal questions.

There's a difference between making conversation with someone and being nosey.

Some people think that when other people are talking to them, they're being nosey, but

So, if somebody is nosey, they ask too many personal questions.

Some might... people might say it's rude, but you're asking too many personal questions.

Again, someone might be trying to help you learn English and practice your conversation,

So: "Nose around" has to do with being nosey.

Or: "Put your nose in other people's lives."

So, this, again, comes from the expression of being nosey.

If you "nose around" or if you "put your nose in other people's lives" or other people's

business, it means you interfere with their personal life.

So, again, you're just asking too many questions.

If it's between friends, it's okay; but if it's someone you do not know very well, you're

This is a cool expression; we use this a lot: "Have a nose for something."

I have a nose for smelling, but: "To have a nose for something" means that you are good

For example, I can say: "I have a nose for wine."

This means I'm good at distinguishing different kinds of wine.

If you have a nose for something, you're good at using it; you're good at doing it.

I have a nose for English, a nose for Spanish, a nose for Po-... no.

You only have one nose, but it means you're good at doing something.
