02:49
word for an adult who doesn't have
02:51
dinosaur toys in their bedroom Monica
03:02
knows it's this dumb thing that Ross
03:04
made up she's trying to fool our parents
03:06
it's a way of giving the finger without
03:08
actually having to give it I remember I
03:13
cried the night you made that up
03:14
this is the first time I realized I was
03:16
cooler than my big brother
03:19
well I'm gonna go get ready for my date
03:28
tonight so I'll just hit super deal I
03:36
mean it is for a home phone number but
03:40
when you say something is a big deal you
03:43
indicate that it is important for
03:45
example for Joey finding an acting job
03:48
was a big deal however we usually say
03:51
this in the negative as it is no big
03:54
deal by this we mean something is not
03:56
important and oftentimes we also want to
03:59
let someone know that they shouldn't
04:01
worry about something Rachel Rachel yeah
04:10
it's not a big deal it's not a big deal
04:13
oh I'm sorry what about all the stuff
04:18
you you just said
04:23
Ross is referring to that piece of paper
04:26
as baby this is just an informal way to
04:29
refer to something as seen in these
04:31
examples
04:32
don't sweat it I got this section
04:34
covered yeah if I got this little baby
04:36
to shine in people's eyes okay see you
04:39
later guys take a look at this check
04:42
this baby out
04:43
dug me a hole
04:47
excellent hole Joe
04:53
instead of baby people sometimes say a
04:56
bad boy
04:57
especially although not necessarily when
04:59
it's something impressive like a sports
05:01
car for example well I saw the Porsche
05:04
parked out front can I get the keys
05:06
thought I'd take that bad boy out for a
05:08
little spin yeah it's it's tough being
05:11
single tough means difficult commonly
05:15
this is collocated before a noun as in a
05:18
tough job or hmm tough decision there
05:22
are also a few other ways we say this
05:24
like it's tough doing something example
05:28
it's tough raising twins another phrase
05:30
is to have a tough time doing something
05:32
now around this time uncle Marshall was
05:35
still having a tough time finding a job
05:37
he's out printing up a whole new batch
05:38
of resumes because he misspelled the
05:40
phrase detail-oriented hmm
05:42
if something is tough on you it causes
05:45
you problems I know this past week must
05:48
have been tough on you I barely slept we
05:52
also have an idiom when the going gets
05:54
tough
05:55
which means when things get difficult
05:57
seriously when the going gets tough you
06:00
don't want a criminal lawyer all right
06:01
you want a criminal lawyer or I'm saying
06:06
so I'm going over to Amanda's tonight
06:09
Rachel's not here Oh
06:11
what do you think he means by this
06:13
phrase he is
06:21
he could also say going to Amanda's and
06:24
the meaning would be the same
06:26
however we sometimes say over when we
06:28
talk about being or staying at someone's
06:30
house for example if you say we're
06:33
having some friends over for dinner
06:34
tonight you're saying that they're
06:36
coming as guests Josh dude dude is a
06:42
common word that's used to address a guy
06:44
or a man informally ok I got it
06:47
go over there and punch that dude right
06:49
in the face which dude that dude yeah no
06:54
way you'd kicked my ass note that in
06:56
this scene we're introduced to this
06:58
character who behaves and talks in a way
07:01
that's very different from the way the
07:02
other guys talk because of the way he
07:04
says dude you might think that this is a
07:06
word only younger people use it depends
07:09
on how you say it actually here we see
07:12
the guys say it in an immature way I
07:14
have nothing to do so tomorrow we are
07:16
partying weird and out dude
07:23
okay dude alert this is gonna be so cool
07:27
dude we never party anymore but here it
07:32
is used in a neutral way dude check this
07:36
up did you play in college oh I still do
07:40
next year hope to make varsity though in
07:44
the USA it is common for high schools
07:46
and universities to have their own
07:48
sports teams they usually will have
07:50
several teams for each sport the players
07:53
that are the most experienced and
07:55
skilled will be on the varsity team
07:57
excuse me yeah how did you all find each
08:02
other we're the Jersey State varsity
08:04
basketball team northeast regional
08:06
champs varsity refers to the team that
08:11
actually represents the school
08:13
competitively those that are less
08:15
experienced can still play on a school
08:17
team but will be on the junior varsity
08:20
team or another team that competes at a
08:22
lower level if you make varsity it means
08:25
that in the tryouts to join the school
08:27
team you were selected to join the
08:29
varsity team oh no wait that's right you
08:34
just organized their game schedules on
08:36
your Commodore 64
08:38
Rachel's way to attack Ross is by making
08:41
him look like the opposite of a cool guy
08:43
who plays sports she's saying he was not
08:46
like that but rather more of a nerd who
08:49
just used his computer the game so I'm
08:53
gonna head okay if you have got to get
08:57
somewhere it means that you have a
08:58
commitment at that place so you need to
09:01
be there example I've got to get to work
09:04
by 8:00 a.m. every morning or my boss
09:06
gets pissed - head is slang meaning that
09:09
you are going to leave can you guess
09:11
which of these other slang phrases mean
09:12
the same thing alternatively - the
09:20
expression I'm gonna head
09:22
we often say a head somewhere or ask the
09:25
question where are you headed - what
09:27
come in have a cup of tea no thanks I'm
09:30
gonna head home okay that's how this
09:36
utterance is pronounced with connected
09:38
speech I've got to get to the game turns
09:42
into I gotta get to the game if a native
09:44
speaker were to say this in careful
09:46
speech maybe they would say I've got to
09:49
instead of I got him so this utterance
09:52
not only changes from a frenzy ation
09:54
point of view but also grammatically
09:56
this part is key
09:58
gotta get we hear the schwa sound in all
10:01
these three structure words I gotta get
10:04
to the game the game okay

11:02
good awesome sounds like a sweet deal
11:06
it's pretty dope it's so nice to finally
11:10
be in a fun relationship you know
11:13
there's nothing boring about him and
11:16
betty's never even set foot in a museum
11:18
if you set foot in a place you go to it
11:21
I haven't set foot in a bar in years
11:24
well maybe you get to go soon you know
11:27
like on a class trip or something if you
11:31
get to do something you have the
11:33
opportunity to do it like in this
11:35
example in which Joey wants to be a best
11:37
man come on Ross I don't have any
11:40
brothers I'm never gonna get to be a
11:41
best man you can be the best man when I
11:43
get married I'm never gonna get to be a
11:46
best man
11:49
wait wait so you get to be my best man
11:52
twice and I don't get to be yours at all
11:54
mocking Rachel because of her
11:56
boyfriend's young age he says that Josh
11:58
could get to visit a museum for the
12:00
first time on a class trip a class trip
12:03
or a school trip is an occasional in
12:05
which students of a school are taken out
12:08
of the class and to a different location
12:09
with the purpose of learning by
12:11
experience a museum is a common
12:14
destination for school trips really
12:17
great about him you'll find the most
12:20
prominent aspects of connected speech
12:21
here and here commonly we'll say this as
12:24
what else you know what else yeah and
12:27
you know what else here we leave out the
12:29
H sound and this leaves us with about
12:32
them although you see a t here
12:35
people often pronounce it as a done so
12:37
worried about all together at normal
12:40
speed this is you know what else is
12:42
really great about him is really great
12:53
about him Monica knows it's this dumb
13:01
thing that Ross made up fool our parents
13:04
it's a way of giving the finger without
13:05
actually having to give it dumb means
13:09
stupid as in that's a dumb question it
13:13
can also be used to describe something
13:14
silly or childish like Ross's weird
13:17
gestures note that you don't need to try
13:20
to pronounce the B and dumb as it's
13:22
silent B is silent in all words that end
13:25
in M be like thumb numb bomb etc to give
13:30
the finger is the act of showing this
13:32
gesture can you guess what's another way
13:34
to say this
13:41
lastly Ross made up the gesture to fool
13:44
his parents as a verb to fool someone
13:47
means to trick someone into believing
13:49
something that is not true hey terrible
13:53
I messed up every line I shouldn't even
13:56
be an actor
13:56
wait a minute are you doing that thing
13:58

17:28
we usually say a food looks yummy when
17:31
it appears to be delicious
17:32
Peevy is giving this word a sexual
17:34
connotation by saying that josh looks
17:36
yummy Amanda just just dropped me off to
17:40
leave someone or something at the
17:41
destination to which one has transported
17:43
that person or thing I wanted to let you
17:47
know that Dwight was like that morning
17:48
because he had to drive to New York to
17:49
drop off the quarterly tax forms that I
17:51
forgot to send hey can you drop me off
17:54
at the library sorry I'm meeting some
17:55
friends at that coffee shop on Lake you
17:57
mean the one next to the library that's
17:59
a library I thought it was a church for
18:01
a religion that didn't allow makeup it's
18:03
one of the things I love about her she's
18:05
she's old enough to drive this is a
18:09
phrase that's made up of an adjective
18:10
followed by enough to a plus a verb
18:14
it means that someone has the quality or
18:17
characteristic indicated by the
18:18
adjective and therefore is able to do
18:21
something listen Chandler the way I see
18:23
it is I was lucky enough to find someone
18:25
that I really loved look I am just not
18:28
strong enough to be in a codependent
18:29
relationship right now okay
18:31
oh shoot and you guys could go up to
18:35
your old room and not make out make out
18:39
means to kiss passionately anyway you
18:42
want to make out I thought because our
18:45
relationships in a beta test you wanted
18:47
to take things slow
18:48
okay you want to make out slow I can go
18:54
so slow it'll be like there's a snail in
18:57

19:13
generally a young woman who looks after
19:15
a baby or child to Ross's misfortune his
19:19
deal with Amanda was all a
19:20
misunderstanding
