Vanessa as she said my name is Ethan I’m

one of the fluency coaches over at real

life English and learn English with TV

where we help you to not just learn

English but to live it and this is part

two of this hilarious lesson about

secrets from the TV series friends you

can find part one taught by Vanessa over

on our channel so be sure to check that

out after watching this lesson so

without any further ado let’s jump into

this lesson with friends

this is unbelievable thieves how can you

be married well I’m not married married

you know he was just a friend and he’s

gay and he was from Canada and he just

needed a green card I can’t believe you

marry Duncan I mean how could you not

tell me when we lived together we told

each other everything I’m sorry Monica

but I know if I told you you’d get

really like judgmental and you would not

approve of course I wouldn’t approve I

mean you were totally in love with this

guy who hello was gay I mean what the

hell were you thinking saying you

thought she’d be judgmental okay I

wasn’t in love with him and I was just

helping out a friend

please when he left town you stayed in

your pajamas for a month and I saw you

eat a cheeseburger well didn’t you I

might have come on like you tell me

everything know what have I not told you

oh I don’t know um how about the fact

that the underwear out there on the

telephone pole is yours from when you

were having sex with fun Bobby out on

the terrace

you are dead meat I didn’t know it’s a

big secret you know kind of the same

lines as say oh I don’t know having a

third nipple

you [ __ ] look it out whip it out

there’s not gonna see it just a tiny

bump it’s totally useless Oh as opposed

to your other multifunctional nipples

can’t believe you you told me it was a

nubbin so what do you thinking nothing

was I don’t know you see something you

hear a word I thought that’s what it was

let me see it again

Julie was in a porno movie

if I’m going down I’m taking everybody

with I was young and I just wanted a job

okay but at the last minute I couldn’t

go through with it so they let me be the

guy who comes in to fix the copier but

can’t because his people having sex out

[Music]

so what’s it shaped like what happens if

you flick it married married you know he

was just a friend and he’s gay and he

was from Canada and he just needed a

green card married married when Phoebe

says I’m not married married she means

to say that she’s legally married but

not really married in the way that

marriage is intended Natives

occasionally repeat a word an element of

a word or a phrase this can often result

in a change of meaning or tone the

grammatical term for this is

reduplicating example sure he likes her

but he doesn’t like like her

meaning that he likes her as a friend

but not romantically example he’s my

friend friend not just my facebook

friend we’re contrasting friends in real

life versus friends on Facebook in each

example we contrast one thing with

another that is a more real or intense

version of that same thing green card a

document that gives an immigrant the

legal right to reside and work in the

United States I mean how could you not

tell me I’m sorry Monica but I know if I

told you you’d get really like

judgmental and you would not approve

judgmental someone who is judgmental

it’s strong and critical opinions based

on generalizations example his mother’s

judgmental about his choice of friends

of course I wouldn’t approve I mean you

were totally in love with this guy hello

was gay I mean what the hell were you

thinking

hello in this case hello is a colloquial

way to communicate to another person

something like wake up it’s so obvious

example I see you want to continue

wasting my on games but hello we have

some bills to pay here what the hell we

put the word hell and sometimes heck to

avoid saying a bad word to make a

question more emphatic or to show

surprise or that you’re upset exam

what the hell did she do to deserve

being fired okay I wasn’t in love with

him and I was just helping out a friend

hope out out in this case doesn’t change

the meaning of help but is used to add a

more conversational tone example I’m

helping them out with the preparations

for the party please when he left town

you stay in your pajamas for a month and

I saw you eat a cheeseburger leave town

come wait to say someone travels outside

of a city either temporarily or

permanently town in this case is almost

always used with the meaning of city I

saw you eat a cheeseburger this is funny

because Phoebe is a vegetarian um how

about the fact that the underwear out

there on the telephone pole is yours

from when you were having sex with fun

Bobby out on the terrace pull a

cylindrical wood or metal object used to

hold something Terrace an outdoor space

on top of or outside of a house or

building you are dead meat dead meat

literally a cadaver or dead body as we

say in English but saying you’re dead

meat is also commonly used to threaten

someone often in a playful way example

whoever scratch my bike is dead meat hey

again you’re just a quick interruption I

have a very special present for you it

is this PDF power lesson for both parts

of this lesson it teaches you all the

vocabulary American expressions grammar

cultural notes and so much more you can

find that with part 1 of this lesson

over on our channel so after watching

this be sure to go and download that now

let’s jump into the rest of the lesson

you know kind of the same lines is say

oh I don’t know having a third nipple

same lines s usually used as similar to

example I was thinking along those same

lines learning of real-life English is

exactly what I need say used to suggest

an example possibility or a numerical

approximation example we save say $20 a

week would that be enough to pay for our

trip at the end of the year a third

nipple

a nipple is the protruding mammary

glands on the chest of mammals humans

have two but Chandler has a very unusual

third nipple

yeah [ __ ] you [ __ ]

when a woman is called [ __ ] which is

literally a female dog it doesn’t mean

prostitute as a lot of learners believe

calling a woman a [ __ ]

usually communicates that she is

annoying malicious or mean similar to

jerk [ __ ] or bastard which are more

commonly used to describe me and then I

recommend you be careful using this as

it is informal vulgar and can be quite

insulting with something out to pull an

object or a body part from a confined

place really quickly this relates to the

whipping motion of a whip in this scene

Ross is asking Chandler to quickly

reveal to them his third nipple example

he whipped out his wallet and paid for

some drinks for the ladies it’s totally

useless Oh as opposed to your other

multifunctional nipples tiny bump tiny

means very little a bump is a small

raised area on the skin or another

surface as opposed to used to refer to

something that is different or opposite

from what has just been mentioned

example as opposed to the Italian

restaurant firehouse the chefs at this

one are actually from Italy your other

multifunctional nipples he’s being

ironic because nipples on men have no

purposeful biological function believe

you you told me it was a nubbin nubbin

an object that is not fully formed yours

jokingly for Chandler’s third nipple no

this is not a very common word let me

see going down I’m taking everybody with

you go down this is literally means to

die in battle and is used in a military

scenario but in the scene chandler uses

this to say that if he is going to go

down have his secrets told he will take

others down with him tell their secrets

but at the last minute I couldn’t go

through with it go through with

something to proceed or continue doing

something despite difficulty or

unwillingness example she couldn’t go

through with breaking up with him when

she saw he had bought her flowers

[Music]

why literally meaning not domesticated

or of its natural environment the slang

expression describes something that is

unusual or extreme here it’s used to say

that Joey’s actions were crazy and not

something that most people would do what

happens if you flicking foot in this

case the flick means to touch with a

sudden sharp movement of your finger

example she flicked the insect off her

plate thanks so much
