Hello guys!
2
Welcome back to my channel!
3
Today we're going to talk about American slang words that you have to know.
4
You don't have to necessarily use them in your speech,
5
but you have to know them because when you're gonna communicate with a native speaker,
6
with an American, you want to understand what he wants to say.
7
So if you're interested, please continue watching this video.
8
Before we transition to naming those words,
9
I would like to remind you
10
that one of the best things to do right now is to take your exercise book
11
and write the words down because you're going to be switching on different types of your memories.
12
So you're going to be seeing me,
13
this is visual, you're going to be listening to me,
14
audio or comprehension memory.
15
And then when you're writing things down with your own hand,
16
this is another type of memory.
17
So please write the words down and comment below
18
if you've been doing that So the word number one is bail and bail means living abruptly So for example,
19
you went to the cinema with your friends and then you realize your homework isn't done yet And you say hey guys,
20
I'm sorry I'm gonna bail which means you're gonna go home
21
and just finish what you had to do to feel blue
22
Is a pretty common phrase slang phrase in all English speaking countries and to feel blue means to feel sad Mark Taraski.
23
A buck.
24
And a buck is American for a dollar.
25
This costs 200 bucks, right?
26
200 dollars.
27
Give me a buck.
28
Give me a dollar.
29
Give me a buck.
30
The next expression is by the skin of my teeth.
31
So, for example, you were playing something and you hurt yourself,
32
but then you say, I hurt myself just by the skin of my teeth,
33
which means, yes, it hurt, but not a lot.
34
Just barely.
35
Seems you've passed by the skin of your teeth.
36
creep oh creep is a title
37
that you give to a person who's really creepy that's great explanation right it's a really weird unpleasant
38
and strange person who is acting in a weird way for example you have a guy who's stalking you
39
and stalker is another slang somebody who's following you who is trying to get your attention
40
and because he's around you all the time doing strange things you call him a creep.
41
You're a creep.
42
Creep.
43
Couch potato should be one of my favorite ones
44
because this is a person who sits on the sofa
45
and does nothing all day everybody has this friend who you call all the time
46
and he's like ah I'm sorry I won't be able to
47
join you today I want to spend some time at home
48
and you can call him couch potato
49
because he doesn't want to go out he just wants to sit at home
50
and do nothing to crash which means to fall asleep abruptly
51
and this happens to me every single day
52
when I'm tired I go to bed and I just crash
53
which means go to sleep really fast a recording yes down-to-earth is actually an adjective
54
and you can call a person down-to-earth
55
when he's really simple he doesn't try to show off he's
56
this normal guy he's really down-to-earth funny down-to-earth another expression
57
that Americans like is for real for example you tell somebody
58
that you're going to Europe
59
and he's like oh for real are you going to Europe this means honestly
60
so instead of saying honestly you can say for real for
61
real for real another slang phrase is the cold shoulder
62
if you give somebody a cold shoulder means you are ignoring them on purpose
63
so somebody is trying to reach out to you
64
and you give them a cold shoulder
65
which means you don't want to communicate with them you're giving me the cold shoulder
66
and now there's slang words typically American
67
and I've been watching this movie called Miss Sloan this movie is all about this slang phrase
68
and this is the phrase plet the fifth this is very political thing
69
so there is the fifth amendment to the American Constitution
70
which allows you to not testify against yourself
71
so for example imagine there's the squad
72
and there is this guy who's accused of a crime
73
and somebody's asking him did you commit this crime the guy pleads the fifth
74
which means he says according to the fifth amendment of the Constitution I would not testify against myself
75
so he won't tell anything because this information can be used against him
76
so this is plead the fifth now let's go down to something a little easier
77
and I think I've mentioned this phrase in one of my
78
videos by the way I have a lot of videos about
79
American phrases I have a I have a video about 50 common phrases in English,
80
video about 100 common words in English,
81
and I have a video about 25 idioms in English.
82
The links will be below,
83
and please watch them after watching this video.
84
Next phrase is screw up and screw up means make a mistake.
85
I'm sorry, I screwed up, I made a mistake.
86
Instead of saying nice and wow and beautiful all the time,
87
you can say oh that's sweet,
88
which means that's nice,
89
but making your speech diverse using different words is actually really helpful for your vocabulary
90
and really helpful for other people because you don't sound the same all over again
91
so write this down sweet means nice sweet tight this word can be used
92
when you're talking about competition
93
so tight competition means there is a really small gap between two competitors
94
and the competition becomes really tight so it's really intense
95
and they have to work really hard to surpass each other
96
tight the next word is to trash you probably know the noun trash
97
and trash is the same as rubbish rubbish is british trash is american this means all of the things
98
that you throw away but to trash means to destroy something
99
so for example he trashed his car means he destroyed his car maybe he had an accident
100
and now he has to get a new one
101
so he trashed his car wrap up is a word
102
that i hear every day
103
and wrap up means to finish something okay guys let's wrap
104
up let's finish to hang out this is a word
105
that you can use when you're relating to your friends you're inviting them to come over
106
and you say come over to my place
107
which means come to my place
108
and let's hang out let's do something together you can also use the word to hang out to describe
109
that you're actually not busy with anything so for example you sit at home
110
and and your friend calls you and asks where you're up to,
111
which means what are you doing right now?
112
And you're like, nothing, just hanging out.
113
So you're just spending your time at home.
114
Maybe you're watching YouTube videos, so nothing serious.
115
I'm just hanging out.
116
Just hanging out.
117
Another word that I love and that I hear a lot is wheels.
118
And you know wheels, which means,
119
you know, something that is rolling in your car,
120
but you can also use the word wheels instead of using the word car.
121
So I have my own wheels today,
122
which means today you're driving,
123
you're not taking an Uber or a taxi.
124
And this way you can use the word wheels in the
125
meaning of a car the next one you've probably heard thousands of times
126
and the word is babe and You I would not recommend using this word,
127
but you need to understand so somebody if you're a female and somebody is calling you babe
128
This is not really polite But this means that the person who's calling you babe finds you attractive and really hot Babe!
129
Babe!
130
Babe!
131
No, babe!
132
To bust somebody.
133
To get busted means to be caught for doing something illegal,
134
something you were not supposed to do.
135
For example, police busts burglars every day in the streets of San Francisco.
136
Police is everywhere.
137
They catch burglars or they catch people who are disregarding the rules.
138
So to get busted means to get arrested, to be caught.

And the last word that I wanted to share with you today is epic fail.
150
An epic fail means complete disaster, awful.
151
I'm laughing because it is used in the memes all the time.
152
In a formal meeting, you won't really use the word epic fail,
153
but I don't know, if your friend tried to hit up on a girl,
154
tried to flirt with a girl and the girl just told that she's married,
155

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
