We have three hot girls, literally it's boiling, to deliver nine heart phrases
that you need to know when you're visiting the beach.
And just before we dive into those nine hot phrases I want to say a huge thank
you to these two beautiful girls from Love English who are helping me with
today's lesson. Their link will be down in the description box below so make
sure to subscribe after watching this video.
A drop in the ocean so this means an insignificant amount, imagine one tiny
drop of water going into a huge ocean it's quite insignificant and isn't going
to make much of a difference. So for example imagine one person giving three
pounds to a charity that needs millions of pounds it's not going to make that
much difference, it's a drop in the ocean, but if we all give three pounds it's not
a drop in the ocean anymore and maybe they'll make a million.
The coast is clear. The coast is clear means that your way
ahead is available, it's clear, you're not in danger of being caught. To look like a
beached whale. To describe somebody as looking like a beached whale is really
not very nice, in fact a beached whale is well, as you guessed it, a whale that has
perhaps washed up on shore, very often they die not great, and if
someone is rather large perhaps with a big belly maybe with good reason you
might describe them as a beached whale. They might not be able to move around
very easily or get up.
Plenty more fish in the sea. So have you ever had a broken heart?
Most of us sadly have, now when we're nursing a broken heart
our friends often want to comfort us and when they do they might say this
expression "don't worry there are plenty more fish in the sea". Now this means
don't worry you can find someone new, there are many other choices out there.
So the fish represent people or future romantic partners. Life's a beach. This is
the completely opposite to a very similar sounding phrase Life's a (swear word)!
We won't say because it's not family-friendly. if life is a beach then
everything is wonderful just like if you're on a beach. The tide is turning. So
the tide is turning simply means there is a change or reversal. Now let me give
you the example of sport perhaps that you support a football team and they
might not be winning many matches. All of a sudden they start to win and they're
doing well. In this case you could say the tide is turning.
To bury your head in the sand this means to refuse to face or deal with a
difficult situation.
It's not the size of the ship it's the motion of the ocean
Many people think this is a little bit naughty, a bit fruity because you're
saying it's not about the size of your tool but about how you use it,
but this can be used for many other things.
