bed of roses Rachel you're no friend to
those with noses those are the only
lines we have sorry okay it's smelly cat
video check it out when used as Phoebe
did here check something out is a
phrasal verb used to direct somebody's
attention to something example hey check
out this video is so funny more
literally it means to examine or find
out more about something example the he
decided to go and check out a new local
restaurant
Oh check it out Oh check it out
it's smelling cat tomatoes if you don't
like it well so what none of you ever
made a video so what informal expression
used when you don't care about what
another person says or thinks either
because you believe it's not relevant to
you or is unnecessary example my sister
didn't pass the test she took this
morning so what oh my god my shoelace is
coming undone
so what nope depending on the context it
can be seen as a rude way of expressing
indifference if you don't like it have
you ever made a video so much that have

smoking as a slang expression as said by
Ross it's a way to describe somebody as
sexually attractive usually you're
referring to a woman gorgeous very
attractive or beautiful seven ways to
talk about bad smells this clip gives us
a couple of different manners of
discussing something that has a bad
smell smelly and stinky smelly as you
probably know a smell is a quality that
you can sense or notice with your nose
although the word smell isn't only
associated with bad smells depending on
the context the word itself could carry
a negative connotation if something or
somebody is said to be smelly that means
that it has a strong unpleasant smell
example you should consider cleaning
this place once in a while it's really
smelly in here you can also use the verb
to smell for the same effect example are
you sure this food hasn't gone bad it
smells now you can still give it a
positive connotation if you collocate it
with a positive adjective or make it
clear that you enjoy the smell example
odd the sweet smell of coffee in the
morning one of the best things in life
what are you cooking there I love the
smell stink the stink is similar to
smell bad another use for this verb
which is not seen in the scene is when
we want to informally say that somebody
is terrible at doing something as we
would playfully do in a conversation
with a friend example you just stink at
playing poker man every time we play you
end up losing a lot of money you can
hear both these meanings in the scene
from this other episode from friends
three days on the lake without a shower
plus I fell in that big double bones at
the bait stand what enjoy you can't go
like that you stink
look I don't I fell asleep before I
could take a shower now I don't have
time
they're just ten blocks away if I run
like a make ya run ten blocks that will
help the smell
he's the only one around here with a
shower in his dressing really shower huh
and uh which room might that be the one
with estin on it Tristan
hello what's in there
how you doing no wait you don't
understand see I'm an actor Joey
Tribbiani I'm doing a scene with you
today and what I stink Joey right yeah
every actor one time or another up every
stinks even Laurence Olivier sometimes
thought he stank Bob Redford won't even
watch himself oh no you don't understand
yeah other than smelly or stinky some
other colloquial vocabulary and slang
you can use are gross this can refer to
a bad smell as well as something that
repulses you overall example you're
gross after running you better take a
shower ranked a slang expression used to
talk about disgusting smells example the
she smells rank I'm gonna throw it away
nauseating something that makes you feel
nauseous example I don't have the heart
to tell her that her cooking smells
nauseating stench a very strong bad
smell example that stench seems to be
coming from the trash to smell or stink
to high heaven
a colloquial phrase you can use to
describe a bad smell example the dog
stinks to high heaven I'm gonna give
them a bath practice your English the

example using one of these new terms

one's fault start off with a little song
called smelly cat start off to start off
is a phrasal verb that means to begin
doing something but that is usually
accompanied with a compliment describing
how you started off example she started
off the meeting with a monthly sales
report he started off great but lost a
few positions after a few minutes I'm
gonna start off with a little song

those of you who are wondering this is
my real voice wondering to wonder is to
be curious about or have the desire to
know something example I wonder what
happened to my classmates after we
graduated should you call your parents
they're probably wondering where you are
right now Oh for those of you who are
wondering
for those of you who are wondering this
is my real voice won't take you to the
vet dinner
[Music]
obviously not their favorite pets take
you to the vet a vet or veterinarian is
a professional qualified to treat
disease or injured animals that is a
doctor for animals pet a pet is a
domestic animal that is kept for
companionship such as a dog or cat a bed
of roses you can probably imagine what
this expression means a bed of roses
such as this one would smell nice right
so if you say that someone or something
is not a bed of roses it means that they
or it's think example the butcher shop
is no better roses no friend to someone
or something someone or something that
does not agree with or treat someone in
a pleasant way the line says that anyone
who can smell that is those with noses
would not see the cat as a friend
example his new car is no friend of the
environment those are the only lines we
have sorry okay Horace the part of a
song that is repeated after each verse
