[Music]

hello everyone and welcome back to

english with lucy in this video we are

going to be celebrating a very important

day especially in the irish calendar yes

some patrick's day will be celebrated on

the 17th of march so i've teamed up with

the guys from lingo des they have a

fantastic blog now which has loads of

articles relating to specific events

days seasons so head over to their blog

the link is in the description box and

you can read lots more about some

patrick's day vocabulary used language

the history should be very interesting

so today i'm going to tell you a little

bit about some patrick's day how its

celebrated and when i'm going to give

you some idioms and because the color

used to celebrate is the color green i'm

going to give you idioms related to the

color green so for most people so

patrick's day is a day for celebrating

everything to do with irish culture

which normally involves going to the pub

and drinking lots of beer or whiskey and

dressing up as leprechauns and shamrocks

if you want to find out what those are

check out the blog post and i must say i

have joined in in those festivities i do

like a point of guinness every now and

again however it actually has much more

cultural importance than that in reality

some Patrick's Day celebrates the life

of st. Patrick who woulda guessed it

now some Patrick's Day is celebrated on

the 17th of March because it is believed

to be the date that he died in around

460 AD now some patrick's day is known

for drinking because it actually falls

within lent and that's a period of time

where there are restrictions on food and

drink so the irish people were given an

exemption they were allowed to drink and

feast on some patrick's day that's why

its associated with excess nowadays is

celebrated all over the world

especially in America they love it over

there and people listen to Irish music

they drink Irish alcohol and drinks they

eat Irish food and they sometimes talk

with an Irish accent Ireland that's the

best I can do

oh and very importantly they wear green

people wear green so now to help

celebrate some Patrick's Day I'm going

to talk to you about some idioms that

are related to the color green so the

first idiom is to be green with envy to

be green with envy so I'm going to give

an example of how I would use this idiom

in conversation and I want you to guess

what it means afterwards I will say the

definition my neighbor has a gorgeous

new pug puppy and I am green with envy

my neighbor has a gorgeous new pug puppy

and I am green with envy yes so I could

say my neighbor has a gorgeous new pug

puppy and I am really jealous to be

green with envy means to be really

jealous really envious of what somebody

else has so the next one is to have a

green thumb and I would say in the

summer months my dad grows amazing food

for us all now he really really does we

have fresh tomatoes potatoes being fruit

everything now all the vegetables taste

delicious because he has a green thumb

the vegetables taste delicious because

he has a green thumb so if somebody has

a green thumb it means they have a real

talent for growing things for growing

plants the next one to be green around

the gills gills are slits here that fish

used to breathe so if your green around

the gills what do you think that means

I'll give you an example

I sent Sharon home from work today

because she looked

a bit green around the gills I sent

Sharon home from work today because she

looked a bit green around the gills if

somebody is green around the gills

it means they look ill or they look

unwell so poor Sharon looked unwell now

the fourth idiom is to give the green

like if I give something the green light

what am i what am i doing so say my boss

gave me the green light to start my new

campaign my boss gave me the green light

to start my new campaign if you give

someone the green light

it means you give them permission to

start a new project it's a useful one

for the workplace

now the final idiom idiom number five is

to go green so if I say I've decided to

go green from now on I am going to walk

to work I've decided to go green from

now on I'm going to walk to work so to

go green means to make a conscious

lifestyle change in order to be more

environmentally friendly so walking to

work is more environmentally friendly

than driving to work right guys that's

it for today's lesson now lingo des have
