Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Adjective Phrase (6).
The adjective phrase today is flat-chested.
Okay.
Let's take a look at the note.
If someone describes a woman as being flat-chested, it means that she has very small breasts.
Of course.
So, all right.
Of course we could look, even though it seems pretty obvious.
We could look , we could take the word apart.
Flat , of course means level or no lumps or slope.
When we say chested, chested , means having a specific kind of chest.
Like for example we could say bare-chested.
like if someone had no shirt on.
even if a man was topless at a beach.
You could say he was bare chested.
Or broad-chested, meaning the chest is very wide.
You know , wide-chested, broad-chested.
So of course, you can describe flat-chested in the same way.
Okay.
Let's take a look at a couple of examples here.
Jenny is worried that if she become a body-builder, she may become flat-chested.
Yeah.
Sometimes you see this with bodybuilders, especially if they start taking male hormones.
Their muscles become so big that their chest almost begins to disappear and you can't see
that they are an obvious a woman's chest.
So, sometimes you see this appear.
So you might hear a woman say this if she really went very far.
If she only did a little weight-lifting.
No . This would not happen.
But if you became a true bodybuilder, and especially if you started taking testosterone
or male hormones that could happen.
All right.
Let's look at number two.
Some flat-chested women prefer to wear padded bras.
Yeah.
You know, some extra material in the bra, you know to give it a bigger appearance.
Or falsies.
You don't hear about it much anymore I think.
Probably people might spring for an operation.
and actually get a breast enhancement instead.
But you used to hear about falsies a lot.
It was just an extra padded material you could just put , a woman could just tuck in there
to make her breast appear bigger if she wanted to.
So , let's look at it again.
Some flat-chested women prefer to wear padded bras or falsies in order to make their breasts appear
larger.
Okay.
Anyway.
I hope you got it.
I hope it's clear.
Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
