Ciao Bella welcome back to real English with real
teachers I'm just brushing up on my Italian today we are flying back to
Italy again to teach you another wonderfully useful British idiom and
this one is all about rocks what is a rock anyway is it in mineral the rocks
they're minerals Jesus Marie is it a little piece of stone that falls off a
cliff several thousand tons of rock came down off the cliff is it a wrestler
that's exactly what it .. it doesn't matter what you think it doesn't matter what a rock is because like most the idioms we
teach you they have nothing to do with the words in them that's why they're
so difficult to understand.. let's go!
just a quick one before we get going on our episode we want to shout
out to our patreon supporters they've been really good for us haven't they I
really have yeah thank you so much guys with your support we can go on amazing
trips like these and make get this really cool footage and interview people

then go over to patreon and be one of our patrons anyway on with the video
let's go Charlie yeah you know I've been going out with what's-her-face for a
while now what's-her-face we have to explain that what's-her-
face yeah that means she is called what's her face? Is that her surname or full name?
it's her it's just a way of saying likea person that's known a known
name and known name yeah and and it also is suggesting that you don't care who they
are it's a bit derogatory yeah you wouldn't say it about Stacey would you? Ohh
what's-her-face cooked me a lovely lasagne the other day.. no you wouldn't
ever since I broke up with what's her face... quite disrespectful yeah
don't really care about too much yeah so I've been with what's-her-face
for half a year now okay and honestly things are on the rocks
she's over there on the rocks? no she's not over there on the rocks but
what do you think that means if I say you know things are on the rocks the
relationship on the rocks well it sounds a bit like the if your relationship was
a boat yeah and you accidentally hit some rocks then it's almost going to
capsize it's potentially going to fall under then I guess that's not a very
good thing no probably it's not in a very good state yeah it's a negative
phrase suggesting that something is coming to the end and we normally
associate it to relationships that way yeah we do I still love you
yeah the relationship is on the rocks.. would we use it with companies? The company is on the rocks.. company's
on the rocks not really no no could you with friendship our friendship is on
the rocks yep our friendship is on the rock is our friendship on the rocks? not
yet no yet not yet apparently we've still got a few more videos in us
but if we were to go down to the rocks and you were to push me in the water
that may put our friendship in jeopardy yeah put our friendship on the rocks in
jeopardy explain that one what does jeopardy mean so to put something in
jeopardy is to put it in danger yeah yeah yeah to risk it yeah I would do
nothing to put our friendship in jeopardy yeah what so what else can be
on the rocks oh really okay you like your drinks on the rocks what drinks do you like on the
rocks then? all of them..hahaha... because I heard you last night saying can I have a
jameson on the rocks Jameson's whiskey can I have that on the rocks?
what did you mean by that it means with ice and particularly with
full ice cubes looks like a rock
whiskey on the wrist whiskey with ice solid cubes of ice but we say on the
rocks if you want to sound cool yeah hey I'll have that on the rocks yeah but he
said we strictly do no whiskey here we just do shots oh no he does do whiskey
but it was just a shot bar they didn't have any tumblers for or any rocks to
give me yeah so I looked like a fool even though I was like got a whiskey on the
rocks for the old fella!? (Charlie's sarcastic banter) he was like no mate we just do shots! What do you drink
when you go out for a meal or just out for a drink?
Malibu Malibu and how do you drink that? With coke, on the rocks!
