Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. One thing I didn't mention is LEGS - pins is a slang term for legs. I also didn't mention bowling...has anyone here ever played ten pin bowling? Now, I would like to know, do you say THUMBTACK or DRAWING PIN?

[@nishantadas40]

Awesome explanation 🙏😊

[@lowellcunningham3332]

When I bowled, we didn't call it ten pin -- but we used 10 pins. I think there's also a nine pin form of bowling.

I know to pin in golf which means to hit the ball to the flag pole when the flag is still in place

[@yvonnefarrell1029]

Another word I have used for a thumbtack is pushpin. The distinction is that a thumbtack is flat and round and a push pin is shaped more like a pin, long and thin. Don't know whether it is American or UK usage actually.

[@annaj.4740]

Interesting, thanks 😄

[@ildarmingazov2304]

Hello! So many pins spoken. The safety pin is english pin in russian.

[@andrzejterlikowski1416]

a pin is similar to a needle :) both of them are very thin :)

PIN is a Personal Identification Number, that what it is.

[@parkash9999]

I use to watch your videos with pin drop silence so that I can get much from it.

[@EnglishLikeANative]

I use to .....so that I COULD get AS much from it AS POSSIBLE! ;)

[@fabrice9252]

Hi my lovely! I would probably have had to pin me down to go and look up all the different meaning of 'pin' and maybe pin all of them up onto the wall (as children would pin the tail on a donkey or as a 'groupie' would pin their fave pin-up) and for regular consultation. Of course I should have pinned it down on my agenda. But though I had put a pin in it, I ended up forgetting and it has more honestly to be pinned on procrastination I guess! ;-) I only pin the blame on me and don't want to be in bad faith by evoking the famous pin paradox for example ... ;-) But you came and proposed me an incredible lesson about all the uses and so exhaustive that I won't have to use a pin to pin them up. Fortunately, you didn't have to use that rolling pin to get them into my skull ;-) I prefer writing that paragraph to give you an overview of my learning and understanding. Your lessons, my sweet, are for me like safety pins on the fabric of my ignorance and help me so much retain things with efficiency due to your talent, and fun entertaining teaching skills. Consulting you is more efficient than any drawing pin. You would deserve an enamel pin or brooch with your effigy that I would wear with pleasure and pride as a belonger to the Anna Fandom! I pin my hopes on you for my progression in English and wish you could drop me a pin if I ever go back to London... For the last one I was just wondering if Pin Number was not a bit pleonastic as 'number' is already included in 'piN'? But I guess it has become common custom to say it so ... Thanks so much Anna for pinpointing all these meanings and uses of 'pin' with such diligence and accuracy. 👌👍👏 🙏 Wonderful. I've learnt a lot. Bisous, bisous my lovely 😘🌹💕 P.S.: Be careful with the French 'pine' (not the tree = pin /pɛ̃/ in french) pronounced the same way , but which doesn't exactly evoke the same thing. I let you find out ...😂

[@fabrice9252]

That said, we too commonly use the term 'code PIN' /kɔd pɪn/ to designate that 'Personal identification number'. ;-)

[@manuelgordillo520]

good job dear teacher. it is funny....A safety pin in Spanish is "imperdible" which means pretty much "impossible to lose it". When I was younger I had shoulder-length hair, and I used to wear pin hair.

[@EnglishLikeANative]

I used to wear a HAIR PIN. ;)
