right let's get started with the slang

phrases all 20 of them right let's start

with an easy one number one

you might have heard it before but it's

also a word that sometimes confuses

students because they don't know exactly

when to use it it is what's up

what's up some people use this word

just as hello just a simple greeting but

other people use it to ask what are you

doing or what are you thinking

it all depends on tone of voice and

context

if i do a quick what's up that's a hello

if i say hey what's up that means are

you okay is something that matters

what are you thinking the next one is

do you get me do you get me

sometimes we drop the do and we just say

you get me you get me this means

do you understand what i'm saying or

sometimes

do you understand me get is a really

confusing word

it has loads of meanings i have made a

video about the word

get i will leave a link in the

description box

in this case it means understand i get

it

i understand it do you get it because i

don't get it do you understand it

because i don't understand it

if someone says i like him because he

really

gets me it means he understands me as a

person he understands what i like and

what i

dislike the next one number three

is you know it you know it

i really like this one it means

absolutely or that's true if i ask a

friend

who always goes to parties are you going

to the party tonight

they might say you know it absolutely

sometimes we use it sarcastically

if i ask my friend with a newborn baby

have you been getting lots of sleep she

might say

you know it absolutely but in reality

she means

no i obviously haven't been getting lots

of sleep

number four is i feel you

this means i understand or i empathize

with you

if somebody's telling you about a

problem that they've experienced

and you've experienced that same problem

you could respond with i feel you

i understand i empathize the same thing

happened to me i

totally feel you or if you're asking if

somebody understands or empathizes with

you

do you feel me do you feel me number

five

is same or same here sometimes we just

say

same sometimes we say same here

this means i agree or i've had the same

experience

did you fail the exam same here i did

too

this also happened to me or if someone

says

i hate broccoli and you also hate

broccoli

same i can't stand broccoli

i love broccoli number six is hell no

hell no it's so expressive

it means absolutely not that is a big

no we really like to emphasize

hell no would you ever get back with

your ex-boyfriend

hell no are you going out tonight

hell no i'm going to get straight into

my pajamas

number seven is shady shady

this word has become much more popular

in recent years

if something is shady then it's

suspicious or questionable

if i say that's so shady it means

that such suspicious or questionable

behavior

obviously it's much easier to say shady

then that's so suspicious and

questionable for example

it was shady of her to leave the

whatsapp group

or i thought that was a bit shady of him

number eight legend if someone is a

legend

it means that you really like them he's

a legend

he's great i really like him do you know

mary

i love mary she's such a legend she's

amazing

sometimes we use it to talk about people

that we don't necessarily

like we don't like or dislike them just

that they're well known in our community

or area

for example ah the petrol station

attendant is such a legend

everyone knows him number nine epic

that was epic that means that was

incredible that was unforgettable

we had an epic night last night this

brings me on to my next one number 10

which is an epic fail if something is an

epic fail it means it's a massive

failure

i asked him out on a date and it was an

epic fail

he said no my exam was an epic fail

i know that i haven't passed number 11

is ripped ripped

if somebody is ripped it means they are

really muscly

or in shape oh my god your dad is

absolutely ripped he is so mustly

i don't know whose dad i'm talking about

mine actually my dad

is 60 and has a six-pack

number 12 i must say i feel silly using

this one but

a lot of people use it it just doesn't

sound right coming out of my mouth but

it is

bomb it sounds

so much better when americans say it

that is bomb

but bomb from my mouth it doesn't sound

right

if something is bomb

then it's great um oh your shoes are

bomb

your shoes are lovely

i thought i'd share it with you because

maybe you can make it work

i can't make it work number 13 is

flake or flaky if somebody is

a flake or if somebody is flaky it means

that they always

pull out this is a phrasal verb meaning

that

at the last minute they decide not to go

or not to attend something that they had

originally said they would attend

so if on monday you said that on

wednesday you would go to the cinema

with your friend

and then on wednesday afternoon you say

ah actually i can't

you're a flake you are flaky don't be a

flake

you have to come tonight number 14

is no sweat no sweat

this means don't worry don't worry it's

not a problem

for example when my fiance went to the

shops specifically

to buy deodorant for me and he came back

with so many things but no deodorant

i said no sweat it's fine

that was a lie there was a lot of sweat

15 this means the same thing

no biggie this means it's not a big deal

no biggie don't worry no biggie no

biggie no sweat

number 16 this is newish

too ish putting ish on the end of words

means kind of sort of new

kind of new newish i'm

down are you down because i'm down

this actually means to be up for

something

so it's kind of the opposite and to be

up for something means to feel

keen or to want to do something

do you want to go ice skating are you up

for ice skating

are you down for ice skating i'm down

for ice skating

are you all down i'm down okay we're

down we are down number 17

is a blast i had a blast

the other night i had a great time to

have a blast

is to have a really good time i had a

blast

at the library last night oh

again we can also use it sarcastically

if we're studying for exams and we've

spent

all night studying in the library we

might say

i had such a blast last night

sarcasm if you want to learn more about

sarcasm i did actually make a video

on british humor it's called british

humor explained with examples i will

leave

the link in the description box because

i think that's an important one

if you want to understand british humor

in particular

number 18 a rip-off a rip-off

if something is a rip-off then it is an

overpriced

purchase i spent 100 pounds on a dress

and then i saw the same dress for 20

pounds

what a rip-off or you can also say i got

ripped off or they

ripped me off a phrasal verb last night

was such a rip-off the drinks were so

expensive

do you remember when we could all go out

for drinks and complained about how

expensive they were

i want to go out for expensive drinks i

want to complain

ah if you're watching from the future

and covert's over

can you comment and tell me it's going

to be okay

number 19 in no time in no time he'll be

here in no time

in no time means in a very short amount

of time

really really soon you'll be finished

with uni in no

time you'll be finished with uni very

very soon

uni short for university did you go to

uni

yes i went to uni the last one number 20

is to bail if you say i have to bail it

means i have to

leave early or abruptly we've all done

it before we've been at a party we

haven't been

feeling it you know we haven't been

enjoying it so instead of going around

and saying goodbye to everyone we just

very quietly and quickly

leave we phone up the next day and say

so sorry i bailed and just i just had to

go home

that is bailing right that is it for my
