Hi. This is Tutor Nick P and this is Noun Phrase 97. The noun phrase today is
eye-opener. Okay. Let's take a look at the note. All right. We have two meanings here
today. An eye opener is a situation or event that shows you or makes you
realize something, especially surprises you. Maybe even shocks you. You know,
realize something you did not know before. Okay. That we often say is an
eye opener. We have a second meaning here. An alcoholic drink. You take it in the
morning to wake up. Yeah. Even though, I don't think most people do this. I think
maybe some people that might be a heavy drinker might do this to wake up. Or it
looks like maybe some scene from a movie. Some old detective or something taking a
shot of whiskey in the morning to wake up. But that would be referred to as an
eye-opener as well. All right. So let's look. We got three examples here . Example
number one. That documentary about the medical industry was a real eye-opener.
Yeah. Maybe it was a documentary where you learned a lot of things about the
medical industry that surprised you. You know, it could be both a good or bad . Okay
Number two. Learning that Harvey Weinstein was seducing actresses to
get parts for over three decades and the fact that this seems to be much more
commonplace then most people realized was a real eye-opener. Yeah. And we've said
this before remember I did a previous video where we say it was an open secret.
A lot of people in Hollywood throughout the years at the Academy once used to
kind of joke about this with Harvey Weinstein. So they knew about it for a
long time. So but you know, you didn't realize they knew about it and once you
should find out about this stuff. You figured it's a real eye-opener that a
lot of this goes on. All right. Number three. Our grandfather takes a shot of
whiskey as an eye opener each morning. Okay. Well that's for the alcoholic drink meaning.
Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time.
Bye-bye.
