Hello and welcome to The English
We Speak. I'm Feifei.
And I'm Rob.
Hey Rob, thanks for this ice cream.
I love ice cream - but why are
we eating it now?
As a treat, Feifei! This is my homemade ice cream.
Yum. It tastes good.
Tastes good, you say? Just good ?
Well - it's not bad.
Not bad?! Honestly Feifei, there is no pleasing
you sometimes. Is there something missing?
Rob - it's awesomesauce!
You want sauce on it? Why didn't
you say? What do you want - strawberry,
chocolate, caramel?
No, I was actually being nice.
Awesomesauce is an informal way
to describe something that is
extremely good or amazing.
It was a compliment, Rob!
Listen to these other examples
of 'awesomesauce'.
My wife is awesomesauce - she's just
served me breakfast in bed
as it's my birthday!
This peanut butter and banana
milkshake is awesomesauce - can I have
some more, please?
Hey! I got top grades in all my
exams. Awesomesauce!
You're listening to The English We
Speak from BBC Learning English
and we're looking at the word
awesomesauce, which is an informal
way of describing that something is
extremely good, amazing or incredible.
And your homemade ice cream
is amazing, Rob!
Oh, thanks very much. I don't know
what to say.
You can also say 'awesomesauce'.
The word can also be used to say you
are very very pleased with something.
OK then - awesomesauce! If it's that
good, I must try some too - with
strawberry sauce on.
You must, Rob, it tastes great!
Oh no - not awesomesauce.
What's wrong?
I didn't put it back in the
freezer - it's melted!
You had better go and make
some more. Bye.
Bye bye!
