Well then, become a teacher and be that kind of guy who makes school fun. Nothing's gonna happen if no one does anything.

[@MeryKeit]

@@RedGallardo good point. Teaching is not as easy as people think. I’m sure lots of teachers who are called “bad” or “boring” were doing their best.

[@RedGallardo]

@@MeryKeit No-no, I don't mean people should try and see how difficult it is, although it's true. I mean someone has to do it. So why not those who understand that? Good teachers won't just pop up from nowhere. It's people who decide they should devote their lives to making kids smarter and kinder. It's mostly about decision. Anyone can be anyone if they decide they would take it seriously and give their best.

Watching your videos is the best way of learning vocabulary , because oftentimes a dictionary distracts us .

[@Hootiefish]

Just a few notes on the word ‘goner’ I’m pretty certain the word ‘goner’ derives from the word ‘gone’ which means to… disappear, no longer exist, or to have been moved or move itself to a different location. So, to be a ‘goner’ would mean that you will disappear, or cease to exist. However, goner can also be used in different contexts, though rarely. Sometimes, for example in sport, people can say “I thought we were goners in the first half, but somehow we managed to get the win” Meaning they thought they were going to lose in the first half of the game.

When I was high school student I went to a English learning academy to raise my TOFLE score. The teacher who mostly taught me was a guy from the US and I found his lecture mysteriously soothing. Now I have found out the reason and that is because he got the such great humor just like you and his humor made me relieved during the lecture. Thanks to him and his lecture now I am in Japan as a student of an international university. I just found your videos today from my recommendation and I am glad that I finally met a such instructor who motivate me to study English again. Thank you

[@dogchronicles3058]

I love your classes, even after 20 years living in the states, I still finding it hard to understand slang. Thank you for your lessons. Have you ever think of making a video to just talk about who you are, what is your background, family etc? It would be nice to know.

I learned recently a word shotgun means a passenger seat in a car and bus means collecting dishes and plates from a table i wanna know more words like these very simple everyday words that have different meanings

[@seabears_hate_circles]

I'm not sure if this counts, but the word deck is sometimes used to mean hit or punch. Someone might say "I'm going to deck you!" meaning they're going to hit you very hard.

[@Hootiefish]

Crook also means sick. Not sure if that’s what you were looking for though.

[@seabears_hate_circles]

Croak, which normally refers to the sound that a frog or toad makes, is also slang for dying or death. I could say "He croaked" to mean he died. It's not something you would say about someone you like or care about. You would say this in a casual conversation with someone you know well when talking about someone you dislike or don't know personally.

Once, I was walking down the street and met up with my barber. When he saw me I could tell that he was getting a nervous wreck looking at my haircut. He was like: - Man, no woman would make a pass at you wearing this haircut. If you want everyone to be tripping around you(i know, It sounds weird), visit me on Monday. Monday seemed to come out of nowhere and I got my new haircut. Now, looking in the mirror, I see that If I had kept walking around with such a mess on my head, I would be a goner

[@noobkid394]

[@phyllisbirks]

Thanks!!!

[@justcallmedevil267]

Very good video, but I think tripin is very rarely used to indicate somebody is mentally ill. The slang comes more from the actual "Drug Trip" so it means more confused, or when you argue with somebody: "you tripin" that they're wrong , because they're not in the right state of mind

I think you’re trying to use ‘btw’ as ‘between’? This will be confusing to most English speakers because btw usually means By The Way. “By the way” means something like, for your information, or as a side note sort of thing.
