I'm American and English is my native language. I clicked on this video out of curiosity and loved it. I couldn't stop laughing because I never realized how many idioms we use and how it might come across to people learning the language. The worst part is we're constantly adding new ones, like... out of pocket (when someone's behavior is out of control) or Flipped the script (changed the rules). Great video.

[@heymikeyh9577]

ResesSweetSuite-As a fellow native speaker of American, I’ve never heard of “out of pocket” defined as “out of control“-rather the net expense one incurs. For example, your company reimburses only $5 for train fare to the airport. You miss the train and have to pay a cab $20 for the ride. You are now $15 “out of pocket” meaning you’ll have to pay that part yourself. The “current” expression I’ve heard for “out of control” is “off the chain,” recalling the image of an aggressive dog that has slipped its tether.

1. To lie like a rug - If someone lies like a rug, they lie to the point where it becomes obvious that they're lying. (Вешать лапшу на уши) 2. Twiddle your thumbs - If you say that someone is twiddling their thumbs, you mean that they do not have anything to do and are waiting for something to happen. (Тянуть кота за хвоста) 3. Pull yourself together - It means take control on yourself. (Взять себя в руки) 4. At stake - If something is at stake, it is being risked and might be lost or damaged if you are not successful. (На кону) 5. In two minds - To have a doubts about smth. (Сомневаться)

[@anuradhakulkarni8350]

Thumbs up great ones​

[@sitbone3]

That’s not what lie like a rug means. It’s mixing lie as in falsehood and lie as in laying down on something. It’s obvious rugs lie on the floor. If someone lies a lot, it would be as obvious as a rug lying on the floor. You were close.

[@emerald637]

I found some FOOD RELATED IDIOMS in American-English. At the bottom of the food chain. - At or occupying the position of least importance or influence in a social, corporate, or political hierarchy. As an intern, you're always at the bottom of the food chain, so be prepared to do whatever anyone else tells you to do. At the top of the food chain. - At or occupying the position of most importance or influence in a social, corporate, or political hierarchy. Some high school seniors revel in the fact that they are now at the top of the food chain, using their newfound and largely imaginary authority to boss around younger students. Put food on the table. - To earn enough money to provide the basic necessities for oneself and (often) one's family. With my hours at work being cut so dramatically, I just don't know how I'll be able to put food on the table. At the end of the day, as long as I'm putting food on the table, I don't care what kind of career I have. Food baby. - A large and/or protruding stomach (thought to resemble a pregnant belly) after one has eaten a big meal. Don't take any pictures right now, my stomach is huge! I totally have a food baby! Superfood. - A food that is hailed as exceptionally nutritious. I know kale is a superfood, but I just can't force myself to eat it. Food coma. (Slang) - A state of drowsiness and lethargy induced by eating a large quantity of food(often carbohydrates). I was in a food coma for the rest of the night after Thanksgiving dinner. Give (one) food for thought. - To give someone something to consider. That meeting really gave me food for thought-I might invest in their company after all. I could murder (some kind of food). - I'm so hungry that I could (or would like to) devour (some kind of food). I'm famished after that hike. I could murder a hamburger right now. Food for thought. - Something to consider. That meeting really gave me food for thought-I might invest in their company after all. Junk food. - Food that is typically high in fats and salt and low in nutritional value; food from a fast-food restaurant. Junk food tastes good no matter how greasy it is. Rabbit food. - Lettuce; salad greens. Rabbit food tends to have a lot of vitamin C. To go, or Takeout. - Packaged to be taken out; packaged to be carried home to eat. Do you want it to go, or will you eat it here? Honeycakes, Babycakes. - A term of endearment; sweetie; dear. (Also a term of address.) Look, honeycakes, I found some lipstick on your collar. Gee, babycakes, it must be yours! Cupcake. - An attractive woman. (Also a term of address.) Who is that cupcake driving the beemer? That takes the cake. - Be the most extreme instance. Julie has made some poor choices in men over the years, but this takes the cake. This is generally used as “this takes the cake” or “that takes the cake,” as in the example.” The icing on the cake. - A bonus; something that makes a good situation even better. “My new girlfriend is very intelligent. That she’s beautiful is just icing on the cake!” A piece of cake. - A very easy task or accomplishment. I thought I was going to fail the test, but it turned out to be a piece of cake! A lemon. - A lemon is something that you buy which turns out to have problems - it is defective / it doesn't work well. Bread and butter. - Things which are bread and butter are the basic things you need to survive e.g. food and shelter. It is also used to describe the job or activity that provides you with the money you need to live. 'Teaching is my bread and butter.' Bring home the bacon. - Like the idiom above, this also means to earn money to live. 'I'm looking for a job. I need to do something to bring home the bacon.' Cheap as chips. - When something is as cheap as chips it is very cheap. 'I didn't pay much for these shoes. In fact, they were as cheap as chips.' Cry over spilled milk. - When we cry over spilled milk we are upset, sad or complaining about something bad that happened in the past. It is usually used in this phrase: 'There's no use crying over spilled milk.' 'Stop complaining about your lost pen - there's no use crying over spilled milk.' Cup of tea. - This expression is used in the negative: 'It's not my cup of tea'. It means something is not to your interests or tastes. Basically, you don't like it. 'Rap music is not my cup of tea; I prefer rock.' Finger in every pie. - When someone has a finger in every pie they are involved in many activities and have a lot of influence or power. It usually has a negative meaning. 'He's very controlling - he has a finger in every pie.' Have one's own cake and eat it too. - To want more than someone can handle or deserves; to try to have two incompatible things: you can not eat the cake and still have it. 'She doesn't want to work hard, but she wants a pay rise. You can't have your cake and eat it!' Take it with a grain, or a pinch of salt. - To take something with a grain or a pinch of salt means that you should not completely believe what you are told. Someone is telling you something which may not be true or it is exaggerated.

A bottom feeder. It's a cakewalk = it's a piece of cake = it's a walk in the park= It's like shooting fish in a barrel. The opposite would be -It's not a walk in the park,it's a mammoth undertaking,It's a Herculean task.,Sisyphean,it's no picnic.

You are an amazing teacher, seriously. I´m from Brazil and can't express how much you helped me with my listening skills.

You were the first of all vloggers that I could understand the videos without subtitles, and it helped me a lot. Thank you, teacher!! I am still an intermediate student, but I hope to be at the next level in a few moments.

I grew up in Australia, and so I have an English speaking background. I can still tell you two funny stories about me not knowing what idioms meant. 1) I was about 14 years old or so, we were driving around Brisbane and my mum said: "This is an old stomping ground." I thought that she was talking about indigenous people - like it was the area where native Australian people would hold dances and special ceremonies called "corroborees." I asked her about it, and she said; "No, it just means a place you used to live." The second one, I was at University. An older student who was married said that it was "Hump Day." I was shocked. I thought he was talking about husband and wife time. "Hump." I said something stupid like, "You plan that sort of thing?" How embarrassing! It was simply a Wednesday, and he was pointing it out. Hump day - middle of the week, like each week is a mountain and the middle day if getting over the hump, and it's all downhill from here to the weekend. I felt so daft!

[@Mathhead2000]

To "get something out of your system" has a connotation that the thing you have a hankering to do is more reckless or non-constructive. For example, a young person is having trouble passing classes at college because they keep partying and not focusing on school work. Someone might suggest they take a year off of college and travel abroad and enjoy life. Just "get it out of their system" so they can come back and better focus on their work. For your example of doing something you already planned on doing just so it doesn't stress you out later, you would use the express "get it off your plate" or "get it out of the way". For example, you got that class "off your plate", or you got that class "out of the way".

[@wraywray9372]

I would agree with this assessment. The phrase “get it out of your system” has a negative connotation about the course of action you are pursuing. The idiom that better fits your example of taking a course in a subject that you love that could lead to a productive career would be the following. “I finally registered for the class because I wanted to follow my dreams.” The idiom “follow your dreams” means to pursue an interest that could lead to a promise career or fulfilling life.

[@HigoreHabboOficial]

[@floydiandreamscapes5145]

Here's some help. Your mixing up your tenses'. "Listening" is in the future, "I have listening". Does that sound correct? "I have listened". Is correct. Past tense. I've dreamed "of" speaking and sounding..Future tense. I'm going to go ahead and "hang" in there, again present tense. "Ed" ending to a word usually means past tense...Already happened. "Ing" ending on a word. Will happen in the future. Here's an example, the word Happen. Happen"ed"... past. Happen... present. Happen"ing".... In the future. These are the general rules. Hope that helps a little. Good luck!!!👍

And I also wanna tell you, you're the best English Teacher, who I've ever known. By the way, I've already known some idioms from another videos on your channel, for example: From now on, instead to say "I really liked this cup of coffee ", I say like that :" This cup of coffee hit the spot" Or another example, when I wanna cheer my friend, I say :"Ohh, Budy, it's not bad, every cloud has a silver line" and etcetera.

"Rule of thumb" dates to the British legal system. At one time in Britain there was actually a law that said a man could not beat his wife with a stick that was bigger around than his thumb. Since a small man would have a small thumb, and a large man would have a large thumb, the exact size of the stick could not be stated in the law but had to be determined based on the individual situation. This came to mean an inexact, generalized rule that is applied on a case by case basis, such as "You should never wear a shade of white clothing that is whiter than your teeth" (because doing so will make your teeth look dull). The whiteness of teeth varies from person to person, so an exact shade of white cannot be stated in the rule. Each individual has to interpret the rule in his or her own terms.

TRANSLATIONS IN FRENCH: Beat around the bush: Tourner autour du pot: It has the best of both worlds: Avoir le beurre et l'argent du beurre Bite off more than you can chew: Avoir les yeux plus gros que le ventre Blessing in disguise: C'est un mal pour un bien Can't judge a book by its cover: L'habit ne fait pas le moine ou Ne pas se fier aux apparences Give the benefit of the doubt: Donner le bénéfice du doute In the heat of the moment: Dans le feu de l'action À chaud Kill two birds in one stone: Faire d'une pierre de coups Let the cat out of the bad: Cracher le morceaux Miss the boat: Louper/rater le coche Once in a blue moon: Tous les 36 du mois Take with a grain of salt: Prendre avec des pincettes To be up in the air: Être dans les limbes Stab somebody in the back: Coup de Jarnac To lose one touch: Perdre la main Sit tight: Ne bouge pas To face the music: Affronter les conséquences Rule of thumb: Règle générale À vue de nez Look like a million dollars: Propre comme un sou neuf Get over something: Se remettre de quelque chose Get over ! Secoue-toi! Crunch time: Moment critique Get out of hand: Ça m'échappe ! Get it out of your system: Défoule-toi! Hang in there: Tiens bon ! Accroche-toi ! Courage !

"Every man makes his bed". This means, the choices one makes have consequences, and that person will have to always deal with these consequences.

[@jessicaappelstein4769]

a more common one is "you made your bed, now lay in it."

As an American, when a foreigner says, “You look like a million dollars.” It doesn’t sound right. It might be because the saying is older now and not many people use it. Also, you can use “bucks” instead of dollars.

Hello! Once I heard an expression that really got me cold feet to answer. Somebody said "today I feel blue" and I was like "Wha does that stand for? Did anybody paint you blue? jaja. Then, he explained that it actually means "I feel sad". It´s funny the way idioms work. My native language is Spanish and there are some idioms in English that are also used in Spanish. For example: Kill two birds with one stone, which would be "matar dos pájaros de un solo tiro".

[@superduperenglishidioms]

A lot of idioms don't translate into other languages... hence why we have to learn! I myself have just started learning Spanish... wish me luck!!!

Good video but you got the meaning of Face The Music wrong. Face the music = to receive or accept or be confronted by the consequences(often unpleasant like punishment or a scolding) of one's wrongful actions.

[@Lg-xt5eh]
