native h pronunciation in american
english when a word beginning with an h
is preceded by a word ending with a
consonant the H sound often disappears
and the two words link together
let me give you a couple of examples did
you read his book becomes did you read
his book we picked her becomes we picked
her I miss him
becomes I miss him also notice how when
the consonant from the first word is the
T it becomes an American T sound I got
him a present becomes I got him present
if she fought her she would win becomes
if she fought her she would win now
let's see some examples from friends you
kissed you
you kissed her that night - I went to
kiss well I went to kiss on the forehead
pretty sure I put her on my bed pretty
sure I put her on my bed he got her lips
he got her lips he got her lips I when
was this
1987 1987 1987 oh my god that's wild
wild literally meaning not domesticated
or of its natural environment the slang
expression describes something that is
unusual or extreme here it is used to
say that it's crazy Chandler kissed
Rachel a long time ago but it was like a
million years ago so it doesn't know so
it doesn't matter well it matters to me
matter as a verb if something matters it
means it is of importance to you or
someone else Chandler here saying that
the fact he kissed Rachel is not
important but for Ross it is two guys in
one night oh I thought she became a [ __ ]
after she got her nose fixed [ __ ]
someone usually a woman who has many
sexual partners calling a woman this is
offensive in most cases but between
Monica and Rachel it is okay because
they're trusting friends for a man we
more commonly use the word player which
ironically is not usually considered
offensive fix other than to repair or
correct something this word can also
mean to change someone's appearance
through cosmetic surgery example after
the fight he had to have his broken
tooth fixed seriously where did this
happen seriously an exclamation or
expression of disbelief or surprise
example seriously did you tell them our
secret seriously what were you thinking
okay after you told me she was passed
out in our room pass out to become
unconscious usually when ill badly hurt
or as is the case here drunk example she
passed out after taking so many shots of
tequila I went in there I would in I
went in there to make sure she was all
right she was lying on my bed all buried
in people's coats buried to be
completely covered by a large quantity
of something eg a dirt example dogs
often bury bones so you probably don't
want to avoid any kind of embarrassing

scene from friends right well we may not

back into the lesson I went to kiss on
the forehead forehead part of the face
above the eyebrows I started to pull
away but then I felt her start to kiss
me back pull away to move your body
backwards away from someone example he
pulled away from the fire as it was
getting too hot back this is used after
some verbs to indicate that the action
expressed in the verb is returned
example the bully hit the little boy but
he hit him back and now now I find out
that you kissed her first find out to
learn or discover something or to become
aware of something
it's amazing what you can find out about
English by watching TV series you were
under the pile of coats I was the pile
of coats pile of coats a pile is a
number of things put on top of each
other example a pile of books a coat is
a piece of clothing you wear over your
other clothes when it's cold outside the
joke here is that when Monica was young
she was overweight so Ross mistook his
fat sister for Rachel covered in coats
what did I marry into to marry into it
means to join a family through marriage
here Chandler's joking that by marrying
Monica he has accidentally joined a
crazy family example I'm not sure if she
married into their family for wealth or
for status but it certainly wasn't for
love
