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 can

66
00:05:04.229 --> 00:05:08.520
really help you improve your English
skills your listening and speaking while

67
00:05:08.520 --> 00:05:13.139
at the same time learning a whole load
of new stuff 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

comments your recommendations for books

93
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:29.490
that you've 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 --> 00:09:31.559
you that's what you sound like
again let me know in the comments when

113
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:36.869
was the last time someone was RC with
you or when was the last time you were

114
00:09:36.870 --> 00:09:41.400
being RC with someone else
why what happened tell me everything and

115
00:09:41.400 --> 00:09:52.019
the next - they kind of go together when
you have someone who acts like this to

116
00:09:52.020 --> 00:09:56.820
someone else when we go you're amazing
you're perfect everything you do is

117
00:09:56.820 --> 00:10:02.550
amazing even your mistakes they're
perfect every class has one every office

118
00:10:02.550 --> 00:10:11.970
has one everyone knows someone like this
we have words for this when that person

119
00:10:11.970 --> 00:10:16.770
always praises 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 don't be an ass kisser don't

129
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:24.759
put your nose in someone's but that's
just unhygenic also don't be a pain in

130
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.240
the butt
