WEBVTT FILE 1 00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:03.500 Now, to me, all of you have great butts! 2 00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:06.180 Except for you! Yours is rubbish! 3 00:00:06.180 --> 00:00:08.380 Looks like an old grape in a sock! 4 00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:12.539 So let's talk about idioms that you can use if you have a great butt! 5 00:00:12.539 --> 00:00:17.379 Okay because all of these have the word "butt" or "arse" or "ass" in them 6 00:00:17.380 --> 00:00:19.400 be careful who you say them to 7 00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:26.079 because they sound quite strong maybe kind of vulgar in some contexts 8 00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.559 So just be careful who you say them to 9 00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:32.020 and if they get angry you didn't learn it from me! 10 00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:35.360 a big thank you to the sponsor of today's video, Blinkist! 11 00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:37.780 You can hear more about them if you skip to this time 12 00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:42.880 basically, it's a really cool app that I use that you can use to improve your English! 13 00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.020 Okay before we begin your "rear", "buttocks", "posterior" 14 00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:52.120 we don't use these words. That's a lie... we DO use these words, but 15 00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:57.440 only in really formal situations or at the doctor's 16 00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:03.160 In casual conversation we never use these so ...yeah don't! 17 00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:08.819 more commonly, we use "Arse" if you're British. Pronounce it "Arse" 18 00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:12.659 Americans say "Ass", it's very American 19 00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:19.319 However we British people also use ass in written English and spoken English so 20 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:27.089 it's fine also "bum" and "butt" those are fine for both and they're less offensive 21 00:01:27.090 --> 00:01:32.120 than "arse" and "ass" I don't know why 22 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.080 okay so idioms if you have a good butt, let's go! 23 00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:43.300 When someone's really annoying but acting crazy or just bothering you, we say this: 24 00:01:46.380 --> 00:01:51.760 "This person is a pain in the butt" You can say that, you have options! 25 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.200 You could also say: 26 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.700 if you're British "They're a pain in the ARSE" 27 00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:59.740 If you're American "You're a pain in the ASS!" 28 00:01:59.740 --> 00:02:03.840 or even... you could even say 29 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.919 "Mate you're a pain in the tits!" it doesn't matter if you actually have boobs 30 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:10.679 That's not important 31 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.520 but this is very very British 32 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.560 I don't think I've heard Americans say this expression 33 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.860 "You're a pain in the tits!" (with an American Accent) 34 00:02:18.860 --> 00:02:20.100 oh maybe... I don't know 35 00:02:20.320 --> 00:02:22.139 but the ... haha... "Butt" 36 00:02:22.139 --> 00:02:26.599 The main expressions you can use "a pain in the butt", "pain in the arse", 37 00:02:26.600 --> 00:02:27.900 or pain in the ass" 38 00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:33.700 so you can also shorten this to: 39 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.040 "You're a pain! You're such a pain!" 40 00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:41.419 if you shorten it to "you're a pain / he's a pain / she's a pain" 41 00:02:41.419 --> 00:02:43.079 They understand 42 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.500 Who is a pain in the ass for you? 43 00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:50.180 Let me know in the comments why are they painting the arse? why are they annoying? 44 00:02:50.180 --> 00:02:55.940 or make an Instagram story tell that person hey you're a pain in the ass and this is why 45 00:02:55.950 --> 00:03:01.889 also tag me at puppet teach me in your Instagram story and I will repost the 46 00:03:01.889 --> 00:03:06.899 best ones if you know someone who is either 47 00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:13.350 very lazy or they just spend all day sitting down or laying down it doesn't 48 00:03:13.350 --> 00:03:19.768 matter but if they spend most of the day on their butt we say something like this 49 00:03:19.769 --> 00:03:28.470 oh my god he just sits on his ass all day playing xbox so if you want to tell 50 00:03:28.470 --> 00:03:34.410 someone hey stop being lazy to be honest it doesn't matter if they're being lazy 51 00:03:34.410 --> 00:03:41.070 or not if you just want to say hey do something like do something constructive 52 00:03:41.070 --> 00:03:49.920 you know or do something to help you can say this dude you've been playing xbox 53 00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:56.910 all day get off your ass to be honest someone needs to tell this tip knee this 54 00:03:56.910 --> 00:04:03.299 next one is extremely British Americans don't use this now maybe you've heard 55 00:04:03.299 --> 00:04:08.340 the expression can't be bothered it means you don't have the energy to do 56 00:04:08.340 --> 00:04:13.170 something or you're not willing to do something like me I don't want to do 57 00:04:13.170 --> 00:04:19.140 this thing I can't be bothered right well we have a British way of saying 58 00:04:19.140 --> 00:04:25.830 this and it's this hmm can't be asked for example we should do something today 59 00:04:25.830 --> 00:04:30.509 do you want to go for a walk go for a walk I'm not a dog no I can't 60 00:04:30.509 --> 00:04:36.028 be bothered I'm watching a movie come on get off your ass let's go out no I can't 61 00:04:36.029 --> 00:04:41.729 be asked again though remember this is very British Americans I don't think 62 00:04:41.729 --> 00:04:48.659 they use this also it's much stronger than can't be bothered much stronger but 63 00:04:48.659 --> 00:04:54.389 it's definitely stronger because of the word arse so just be careful who you say 64 00:04:54.389 --> 00:04:59.549 that to they might get angry with you before we continue I want to thank blink 65 00:04:59.550 --> 00:05:04.229 s the sponsor of today's video this is not just a sponsor video this app

for me I don't have the 68 00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:17.639 attention span to read a whole book I mean I do but it takes a really long 69 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.009 time but luckily there's an app called 70 00:05:20.009 --> 00:05:25.650 blinkers which I personally use they take nonfiction books take all the main 71 00:05:25.650 --> 00:05:30.839 important information that is the only stuff you remember from non-fiction 72 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:37.289 books condense it down into a fifteen minute audiobook form and they read it 73 00:05:37.289 --> 00:05:43.139 to you you do have the option to read the text along with it and of course the 74 00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:49.349 best part you can finish a whole book in around 15 minutes it's nuts so like I 75 00:05:49.349 --> 00:05:53.729 said I use this app personally and I always recommend it to other people I 76 00:05:53.729 --> 00:05:57.899 recommend it to my students and it's all in English you can read along with the 77 00:05:57.899 -->

read or listened to ok back to the lesson when someone is very 94 00:07:29.490 --> 00:07:40.170 stupid but I mean like so so stupid we have an expression that guy's so stupid 95 00:07:40.170 --> 00:07:42.300 he doesn't even know his ourself from his elbow 96 00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:47.160 it literally means he doesn't know the difference between his elbow and his 97 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:54.780 asshole yes that is very strong and kind of vulgar so again be very careful who 98 00:07:54.780 --> 00:08:00.240 you say this to or who you say this about again American English we would 99 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:07.260 just change that to ass he doesn't know his asshole from his elbow next when 100 00:08:07.260 --> 00:08:13.529 someone does a half-assed job this means they they did something for 101 00:08:13.530 --> 00:08:22.500 example they fixed something kind of yeah he fixed my chair but look it had a 102 00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:26.700 really half-assed job you just put tape on it they didn't do 103 00:08:26.700 --> 00:08:31.469 it properly they didn't do it well enough they just did it like 20 percent 104 00:08:31.470 --> 00:08:38.370 effort they did a half-assed job we don't say a fast we should but we 105 00:08:38.370 --> 00:08:44.400 don't have that also we could say you have asked it you have asked it just 106 00:08:44.400 --> 00:08:49.830 half-assed it next when someone is acting angry towards you or just 107 00:08:49.830 --> 00:08:54.000 generally very unfriendly we say they are 108 00:08:54.000 --> 00:09:00.540 are see with you I know weird again Americans don't save us because you have 109 00:09:00.540 --> 00:09:07.020 to change it to a C and it sounds weird so Americans don't use this British 110 00:09:07.020 --> 00:09:15.740 people definitely do being RC with someone for example hey how's your day 111 00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:25.950 fine how's your day why be an RC with me why are you big I'll see with me that's 112 00:09:25.950 -->

this person even when they do something bad 120 00:10:16.770 --> 00:10:23.160 well they just suck as a human we say that this person is an ass-kisser if 121 00:10:23.160 --> 00:10:27.179 you're American or ass-kisser if you're British 122 00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:37.019 you could also say butt kisser you could also flip it in say she kisses her ass 123 00:10:37.020 --> 00:10:45.000 or ass your choice you be creative and to be more general we say that this 124 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:53.630 person exists inside this person's ass whether it usually it's the nose 125 00:10:54.480 --> 00:11:01.540 so she has her nose up her ass or ass depending if you want to speak with a 126 00:11:01.540 --> 00:11:06.670 British or American style remember to try your own examples in the comments or 127 00:11:06.670 --> 00:11:12.370 make an Instagram story using these examples tag me and Papa teach me and 128 00:11:12.370 --> 00:11:18.759 I'll repost - the best examples seen the next class
