with the word ‘brain’, yes the most important organ. Well we have some phrases for you that
you can use in your conversation. So how to use them correctly and what exactly do they
mean? Well let's learn this today.
The very first phrase that I have for you is ‘brain box’. Now when do you use this
phrase? Well when you come across an intelligent person. Do you have a brainy friend? Well
I do. There are so many friends who are really intelligent. They have answers to all the
questions. Like for example hey brainy box could you please solve this for me? So you
go to a person who is extremely intelligent and you know it that this person can solve
the answer for you then use the phrase brain box for him or for her. So a brain box is
a phrase that you use for an intelligent person.
The next phrase that I have for you what the word brain is ‘a bird brain’. Well that's
completely opposite to the phrase brain box. A bird brain is used for a person who is absolutely
brainless. Yes, that is also another phrase that you can use brainless for a person who's
so stupid or who's so silly, yeah. We do come across people who are just so silly or so
stupid that they just can't get anything right. Yeah and that just makes you so irritated.
Well calm down, just go ahead and use the phrase, “Ah! Look at you, you are such a
bird brain.” So that means that you are brainless or you are really stupid or foolish.
Alright moving on to another phrase that you can use with the word brain is ‘brain fart’.
Brain fart, what does that mean? Well here we are talking about, you know there are times
when you just have this mental lapse you just can't get the answer and the answer is so
obvious like you have to know it and then you keep banging on your head and you just
can't get it right. For example if someone asks you, “Hey, when's your anniversary?”
And you just had a mental collapse, you can't get it. When is my anniversary? Well you are
having a brain fart, you can't remember the obvious thing. Well your wife is gonna kill
you for that. So be careful please don't go through a brain fart. Make sure you know your
birthdays and your anniversaries, alright? So brain fart is when you are unable to remember
something very obvious. And don't worry too much because this happens to each one of us,
yeah? A brain fart that's what we all go through at many times. So go ahead and use this phrase
when you have a mental collapse.
Moving on to another one which is ‘brain child’. Now brain child is a phrase which
is used for some original idea. Okay someone who comes up with an idea or of some invention
that is by their own like they haven't taken anyone's help and it's just the idea is done
or invented single-handedly. Like for example you can use this in the corporate world in
the business world if your colleague has come up with an idea or an invention that has worked
out really great and he did not take anyone's help it's his original idea then that can
be called as brainchild. So the marketing plan of my colleague John, has really worked
for our company. It's his brainchild. So this marketing plan this idea this invention is
John's brainchild. So brainchild is used for that original idea, alright? So if you know
people who have come up with their own ideas single-handedly then use this phrase in English.
Moving on to another phrase that I have for you is ‘brainstorm’. Okay, what do you
think this really means? Well brainstorm is used for a spontaneous discussion to come
up with ideas. Like for example your company is facing a lot of problems, the sales are
down and you'll have to come up with new ideas to make profits. So how do you do that? Well
let's go have a brainstorm. So brainstorm is a spontaneous group discussion wherein
all the team members sit together and work on a plan. Come up with various different
ideas that should really work for the company. So again this is a great phrase to use in
the corporate world. So especially when you are at work and you want to have a group discussion
to come up with something new, especially for the success of your company or your team
then use the phrase brainstorm, alright? So brainstorm is spontaneous group discussion.
Okay let's move on to another phrase with the word brain which is ‘brain drain’.
Wow that rhymes. Well what does this really mean? Well brain drain is used when a large
number of people belonging to a country move out and start earning money or start living
in a different country all together. Well because the other country pays them well or
the quality of life is so much better. So that situation is called as brain drain. Like
the country India has faced big brain drain in recent years. So which means that there
are many, many people who have moved out to different other countries in order to make
good money and in order to live a better life, okay? So if you or someone goes through this
situation then that situation is called as a brain drain.
All right, let's move on to another phrase that I have for you which is ‘brain wash’.
Yes, brain wash it means to wash your brains? No! Well brain wash is a phrase that is used
when someone tries to feed your mind with something and makes you believe that yes the
things that I'm saying is absolutely right. You know when you keep telling or repeating
the same stuff to a person making him or her to believe you completely then that's brainwash.
Yeah you are brainwashing his mind because you're feeding stuff in his mind. He's not
thinking of his own it's not his thoughts but it is what you are forcing him to think,
okay? So for example if you have to use this phrase in your sentence you can say by using
the word brainwash that you know my friend has been really brainwashing me to go ahead
and stop talking to her. So basically it's not your own wish, it's your friend who has
been forcing you and feeding stuff in your mind that's making you to boycott someone,
okay? So brainwash is feeding, feeding someone's mind Repeatedly.
And then the last phrase that I have for you with the word brain is ‘brain teaser. So
when do you use this? Well when a problem is really difficult, you know you're not able
to do solve it. You have to use your brains it's really difficult it's tough to answer
or to come up with a solution. So such situations are called as brain teasers. Like you know
at times when we are trying to solve a puzzle and the puzzle is so confusing you just can't
get it right you have to really put your brains in order to solve that puzzle. So if you have
to use this in English in your sentence then you can say that, this puzzle is such a brain
teaser. So it's not easy it's difficult, it's difficult to solve it out. So it is such a
brain teaser. So a problem or a situation or something that is not easy to solve is
