hello everyone and welcome back to

english with lucy i have a cold in oh my

god it's September I thought it was

August ok I have a cold in September

which actually isn't that bad but I am

suffering so if my voice sounds strange

or extra sexy then you know why I sound

like a smoker you know why yeah I've got

a really bad cold but I'm here and I'm

ready to do the lesson with you so I

thought my voice sounds wintry so I make

myself look all summery ready for the

summer you didn't have this year today I

thought I would do a video about some

British slang phrases expressions and

idioms so today I'm going to give you a

lovely long list of the phrases that

I've thought of recently and I'm gonna

give you some examples and I'm gonna

make sure that you really really

understand them so that you can use them

in your daily life as well some of them

are going to be quite informal so you

might not want to use them in English

exams but if you're visiting the UK or

America I focus on British English here

but

many of these are relevant for American

English as well I'm just gonna call them

British English expressions to make sure

that anyone who wants to learn British

English knows that this video will help

them quickly before we get started I

just want to thank the sponsor of

lesson now the first phrase is something

that I might have mentioned in a

previous video but I feel like it's

really really important an extra

important because yesterday I met with a

friend and she told me a really funny

anecdote so the phrase is to be

knackered now this is informal it could

be considered slightly rude so be

careful where you use it not in

professional or educational situations

but maybe around friends and perhaps

family to be knackered means you're

exhausted or really really tired and

this is a phrase that I use all the time

oh my god

I am knackered I am exhausted the reason

I wanted to mention it is because a

friend was talking to me I think she

went on a date or something with an

Italian guy and he said to her after

work oh my god I am absolutely naked

naked obviously means you have no

clothes on so I just want to reiterate

the fact that the pronunciation of naked

naked is really really important you

don't want to go telling people you're

absolutely naked you want to be

knackered I thought that was so funny

and she said she did correct him very

very nicely so good on her okay

the next phrase is to be skint to be

skint if you are skint you are in a poor

financial situation you have no money or

nearly no money so if someone says do

you want to go to the cinema tonight and

I'd say I can't sorry I'm absolutely

skint it means I can't afford it I'm in

a really difficult financial situation

and oh my god I had to use that phrase

so frequently when I was at university I

had no money being a student in London

is really really expensive and quite a

challenge actually but it it did inspire

me to work very hard so that I could be

financially stable one day in the future

very colloquial not rude but it's it's a

slang word and it'll be really

impressive if you can use that around

British people on the other hand number

three to be quids in

now quid is a slang term for a pound

one quid one pound two quid two pounds

ten quid a tenner ten pounds a tenner or

a fiver is more slang money slang for

you but if you are quid in it means you

are suddenly in a good financial

situation so maybe you placed a bet at

the weekend and you won and now you are

quids in you've suddenly got lots of

money so it's normally used to

congratulate people so if somebody wins

a competition and they win a hundred

pounds I'll say wow your quid then well

done the next one is to be pants so I

would say maybe ah that pants yeah

the show was pants now in American

English pants means trousers but in

British English pants means underwear I

have a video about the differences

between American and British English you

can look at it up here oh that's the

watch I lost I hopefully next hour it

will do that again so I can find it yeah

so if we say something is underwear when

I say underwear I mean like male

underwear I mean like boxers or briefs

normal email but sometimes female bottom

half underwear so if I'm saying

something is pants

it means it's rubbish really really bad

so it's quite a good way of saying that

you didn't like something in a kind of

jovial sort of way it's not very harsh

but then again if somebody called my

videos pants I'd be a bit upset I would

be a bit upset what goes into them I

don't expect everyone to like my videos

but at least appreciate yeah yeah so

it's not so modern it has been used for

many years

so don't expect to be all down with the

kids to be down with the kids is to be

young and modern by using to be pants

but it's a good phrase that you will

hear fairly frequently in the UK now the

next one is actually a phrasal verb but

it's a slang phrasal verb so if you

didn't think that phrasal verbs could

get any worse they can we have flaga

phrasal verbs and this phrasal verb is

to swear down to swear down if I say I

swear down I did not eat your last pizza

slice I'm saying I swear on my heart I

promise you on my dog's life that I did

not do that okay so it's basically a

longer way of saying I swear I swear to

you I swear down the next phrase is to

get ones knickers in a twist so if I say

to somebody don't get your knickers in a

twist

it's normally aimed at females it means

don't get flustered don't get agitated

something that happens to all of us I

can't find my phone oh I just pulled one

of my own hair I can't find my phone and

I need to leave and I'm getting in a

flap I'm getting flustered agitated I'm

fussing my boyfriend might say to me

don't get your knickers in a twist Lucy

just calm down and look for it I think

the Americans might say don't get your

panties in a bunch but I'm not sure if

there are any Americans watching this

can you confirm that for me I've seen it

online I have researched it but I've

never I've never heard an American say

it right so this is normally said to

females because obviously we wear

knickers but when it said two males it

can be slightly more offensive although

it can be offensive to women depending

on how you say it but sometimes it's

just affectionate but if you say to a

man it can be used to imply a femininity

if you know that the implication of

femininity towards a man is going to

annoy him further so yeah try not to use

it in a patronizing way the next one to

throw a spanner in the works to throw a

spanner in the works so you might be

doing a task and then you might say oh

that's throwing a spanner in the works

it

event something from happening smoothly

so I could be putting up a picture with

a hammer and the hammer breaks and I'll

say no that's thrown a spanner in the

work there I was happily hammering away

the picture was going to be up in five

minutes but now the Hammers broken so I

have to go out get a new one you get the

picture the next one is to do with going

out this one is to be out on the pole to

be out on the pole if you are out on the

pole it means you are going to go out

with the intention of finding a romantic

partner it means you're looking you're

actively looking for somebody so when I

was single I sometimes used to go out on

the pole in London with my girlfriends

and the place that we always used to go

to was Tyger Tyger there was always a

great selection there so yeah we always

used to go out on both the Tyger Tyger I

would never go back there actually Never

Say Never with the right group of people

it would be good fun especially on a

Wednesday the next phrase and I know for

sure that this is used in America as

well you have got to be kidding me

you have got to be kidding me it means

you have to be joking you must be joking

and it can be used in two ways it can be

used to express anger or disbelief I

can't believe that you've got to be

kidding me

or if something's really funny you've

got to be kidding me

and so I hope you appreciated my acting

skills that I was never that good at

drama at school the next phrase is one I

think when used correctly sounds really

really good and it is rightly so and

it's a nice little thing to add on the

end of sentences it means quite rightly

correctly everyone's worrying about the

pizza getting burnt and rightly so there

is smoke coming from the kitchen you

know it means with reason the smoke is

coming from the kitchen

and rightly so and rightly so right

that's it for today's lesson I hope you

enjoyed it I hope you learnt something

了实际上并没有那么严重，但我很

痛苦所以如果我的声音听起来 奇怪

或特别性感然后你知道为什么我听起来

像个吸烟者你知道为什么是的我得了重

感冒但我在这里我

准备和你一起上课所以我

觉得我的声音听起来很冷所以我 让

自己看起来像

夏天一样，为今年没有

的

夏天

做好准备 '最近想到了，我

会给你一些例子，我会

确保你真的真正

理解它们，这样你就可以

在日常生活中使用它们，其中

一些将是非常非正式的，所以你

可能不想在英语考试中使用它们，

但如果您正在访问英国或

美国 rica 我在这里专注于英式英语，

但

其中许多也与美式英语有关

开始我

只是想感谢今天视频的赞助商

帐户中，让我们继续

上课吧，第一句话

是我可能在

之前的视频中提到的，但我觉得它是

真的很重要，特别

重要，因为昨天我遇到了一个

朋友，她告诉了我一个非常有趣的

轶事，所以

这个短语现在是不正式的，它可能

被认为有点粗鲁，所以要

小心你在不

专业或教育的地方使用它 情况，

但也许在朋友和

家人身边 累坏了 意味着你

筋疲力尽或真的很累，

这是我一直使用的短语

哦，天哪

朋友在跟我说话，我想

她和一个意大利人约会什么的

，他下班后对她说，

天哪，我完全赤身

裸体显然意味着你没有

凝块 hes on 所以我只想重申这样

一个事实，

naked nucleus 的发音真的很重要，你

不想告诉别人你

完全赤身裸体，你想被

弄脏我觉得这很有趣

，她说她做到了 非常

非常好地纠正他，对她

很好 今晚看电影，

我会说我不能抱歉，我真的很

瘦，这意味着我负担不起

大学

我没钱在伦敦当学生

真的很贵而且很有

挑战，但它确实激励

我努力工作，以便

将来有一天我能在经济上稳定下来

非常口语化不粗鲁，但这是一个

俚语 如果你的话，那将是非常

令人印象深刻的 另一方面，可以在英国人周围使用

数字

3 来表示 quid，

现在 quid 是俚语，表示一英镑

一英镑一英镑二英镑两英镑

十英镑十英镑一十英镑或五

英镑是更多俚语金钱俚语

但是如果你有钱，这意味着

你突然处于良好的财务

状况，所以也许你

在周末下注，你赢了，现在你

有钱了，你突然有很多

钱，所以通常用来

祝贺别人 所以如果有人赢得

了比赛，他们赢了一百

英镑，我会说哇，你的报酬那么

好，下一个是裤子，所以我

会说也许啊，那条裤子是

的，现在的节目是裤子，在美式

英语中，裤子是指裤子，但是 在

英式英语中，裤子的

意思是内衣 我的东西 s 内衣 当

我说内衣时，我的意思是像男性

内衣，我的意思是像拳击手或三角裤，

普通电子邮件，但有时是女性

下半身内衣，所以如果我说的

是裤子，

这意味着它真的很垃圾，非常糟糕，

所以这是一种很好的表达方式

你不喜欢

某种快活的方式它不是很苛刻

但是如果有人叫我的

视频裤子我会

有点不高兴我会有点不高兴他们里面的东西我

不指望每个人 喜欢我的视频，

但至少欣赏是的，是的，所以

它不是那么现代，它已经使用了

很多年，

所以不要指望与

孩子们一起失望 与孩子们在一起是

年轻和现代的 裤子，

但这是一个很好的短语，现在你会

在英国经常听到

下一个实际上是短语动词，但

它是一个俚语短语动词，所以如果你

认为短语动词不会

变得更糟，他们可以我们有 flaga

短语 动词，这个短语动词是

to swea 如果我说我

发誓我没有吃你的最后一片披萨，

我发誓我发誓我发誓我

发誓我用我的狗的生命向你保证我

没有这样做好吧，所以这基本上是一种

更长的说法 我发誓我向

你发誓我发誓下一句话是

让内裤扭

起来

激动

发生在我们所有人身上的事情 我

找不到我的手机 哦，我只是扯了

一根自己的头发 我找不到我的手机，

我需要离开，

我陷入困境 激动 我在

大惊小怪 我的男朋友可能会对

我说不要把你的内裤拧起来

Lucy 冷静下来看看吧 我

想美国人可能会说不要把你的

内裤弄成一堆但我不确定

有美国人在看这个

，你能确认我在网上看过吗？

我研究过，但

我从来没有听过美国 n

说得对，所以这通常是对女性说的，

因为很明显我们穿

短裤，但是当它说两个男性时，它

可能会稍微更冒犯，尽管

它可能会冒犯女性，这

取决于你怎么说，但有时它

只是深情，但如果你说 对一个

男人来说，

如果你知道

女性气质对一个男人的暗示会

进一步惹恼他，那么它可以用来暗示女性气质，所以是的，尽量不要

以傲慢的方式使用它，下一个

在作品中扔扳手

在作品中扔扳手，这样你可能正在

做一项任务，然后你可能会说哦

，这是在作品中扔扳手，

它

会导致某些事情无法顺利进行，所以我可以用锤子放一张照片

，锤子坏了，我'

我会说不，那是在工作中扔了一把扳手

我很高兴地

敲打图片将在五

分钟内完成，但现在锤子坏了，所以我

必须出去买一个新的，你得到

图片下一个是 机智 h

出去 这一个是在杆子上

是在杆子上 如果你在

杆子上 这意味着你要

出去寻找一个浪漫的

伴侣 这意味着你正在寻找你

积极寻找某人，所以当

我单身时，我有时会

和我的女朋友在伦敦的杆子上出去

，我们经常去的地方

是 Tyger Tyger，那里总是有

很多选择，所以是的，我们总是

过去常去 在两个 Tyger Tyger 上我

都不会再回到那里 实际上 Never

Say Never 与正确的一群人

在一起会很有趣，尤其是在

星期三下一个短语，我

确信这在美国也被使用，

你已经得到了 开玩笑，

你一定是在开玩笑，这

意味着你必须在开玩笑 开个

玩笑，

或者如果有些事情真的很有趣，你

必须是 ki 加我

，所以我希望你欣赏我的

演技，我在学校从来没有那么擅长

戏剧 下一个短语是我

认为正确使用时听起来

真的非常好，这是正确的，

这是一个很好的小东西添加到

句尾它的意思是非常正确的

，每个人都在担心

披萨被烧焦了，所以

厨房里冒出烟，你知道这意味着烟从厨房里冒出来

是有道理的

，正确的，正确的，

正确的，这就是今天的课程 我希望你

喜欢它我希望你学到了一些东西
