Episode 9 :
Part 1 - The Discussion (0:00)
My kids are always laughing about anything related to toilets and I felt left out. I'm an adult and I'm not allowed to laugh at such things. Well, I decided to break that taboo and drag my cousin Connor into the childishness!
Part 2 - Learn English (17:40)
In part two we talk about the language used in the episode and learn how to apply the following words to everyday English conversation;
Shut off (phrasal verb)
- to avoid seeing people or having contact with people
"I'm going to shut off for a few hours, it's been a hard day"
To have a go at (someone)
- to attack or criticise
"My boss had a go at me for turning up late"
Minging (adjective / slang)
- disgusting, foul or unpleasant
note : offensive when used towards people
"I'm not going out today, the weather is minging"
Pins and needles (non medical term)
- the tingling sensation caused by poor blood circulation
"I have pins and needles in my feet"
Pasty
- a savoury snack from the south of England.
Dead in the eye (expression)
- the centre of the eye / when saying something serious
"I looked her dead in the eye and told her the truth"
A dump (slang)
- a poo
"I'm just going for a dump"
To peer
- to look at something which is only just visible
"I peered over the wall to see what was going on"
I swear (expression)
- to emphasise you are telling the truth in a story
"It was the best match I've ever seen, I swear!"
