hello everybody welcome to let's talk
this is michelle and today you're going
to find out my most used slang words
that's right in today's lesson i'm going
to tell you which are the slang words
that michelle uses the most well do you
want to find out so let's look at the
first one here so the first language we
have is to spill the tea
oops
okay now what does this mean okay think
about it if you spill the tea you're
basically revealing someone's secrets so
to talk behind someone's back is
spilling the tea okay now let's find out
some sentences that we can use to talk
about this
so let's call karen to know what exactly
happened she will surely spill the tea
so you're expecting that karen if you
call her she will definitely tell you
what happened because she has the habit
of
talking behind someone's back another
one
don't tell pam about it she will spill
the tea all over the office which means
don't tell pam about it because if you
tell her then everybody at the workplace
will know what you said
such people are dangerous
and now you have i thought it would stay
between us
how could you spill the tea so
imagine that you shared with somebody
something that you feel or probably
something that you experienced or
something related to your boss
and now everybody knows it so then you
go and tell them hey i thought it will
stay between us how could you spill the
tea so that's
spill the tea which means to talk behind
someone's back now let's move on to the
next one
to be animated okay now to be animated
is sort of being dramatic you know those
people who always add a little drama to
their stories such people are called
dramatic
so to act over the top or to show off is
being animated okay which means being
dramatic let's look at an example
my stories are always animated don't
take him so seriously like whatever mike
tells he always adds a little bit of
drama to it so don't believe him
completely okay
i don't understand why you have to be so
animated all the time you know some of
those people who are really dramatic the
way they say you know they express their
emotions when they're happy when they're
sad it's really evident in the way they
talk
so to such a person in a very friendly
way you could say i don't understand why
you have to be so animated all the time
you know what animation means it means
like a cartoon you know full of actions
life is not a film you cannot impress me
with those animated lines so if somebody
tries to impress you with really cheesy
lines then you could say life is not a
film you cannot impress me with these
animated lines okay moving on to the
third one keep it hundred
well guys keep it hundred means keep it
real
don't fake it that's keep it hundred
okay let's look at some quick examples
come on keep it hundred are you coming
with us to bali which means keep it real
tell us the truth are you joining us to
bali or not
to keep it hundred boss is not happy
with our presentation which means to
tell you the truth the boss is not happy
with the presentation that's like
keeping it hundred keeping it real
i don't understand why all sales people
have to be so pushy why can't they keep
it hundred which means why are they you
know kind of pretending why can't they
just be real all the salespeople why
don't they say the real thing why don't
they say the truth in such a situation
you could use
keep it 100 keep it real now another one
that i use a lot is
trashy so when i don't like something
and i don't find it useful i say that
it's trashy it comes from the english
word trash which means garbage
so
someone who has a bad appearance can be
trashy okay
someone who speaks bad language can be
trashy and someone who looks tense can
also be trashy what we're going to do is
we're going to find out one example for
each one of them
what happened to you why are you looking
so trashy this means bad appearance so
when somebody doesn't look good you say
why are you looking so trashy so
probably the person didn't dress up well
or they're not looking good that day
again got to be careful because this
slang term can be counted rude so you
can't use it to just anybody only people
who are really close to you
then you have i wonder what's wrong with
sasha she looks
trashy
since she's back from the boss's cabin
so again this means she looks
tense
ever since she returned from the boss's
cabin
and then you have keep your trashy
comments with you i haven't asked for
any free advice
clearly this one is talking about
speaking bad language foul language so
if somebody's rude to you you could say
keep your trashy comments with you
moving on
snatched okay now snatched
actually if you look at it it's a verb
which means to snatch something from
somebody but here it's got a
positive meaning it means to look
extremely good so that's when you can
say snatched which is kind of the
opposite of trashy
so wow look at you you're looking
snatched tonight now this can be used at
a party you know or on a date when you
go out with somebody you could say hey
you're looking snatched and they might
ask you well what does that mean and
then you can tell them it means
extremely good
i'm sure you'd look snatched in that
shirt
don't think too much just buy it okay so
you're confident that somebody will look
great in it so you're telling them to
just buy it giving them some honest
advice
and now you have looks like someone is
looking snatched in that new haircut
you'll say it like looks like someone is
looking snatched in that new haircut
which means that they're looking really
good okay so this is how you use this
slang word which is snatched now let's
find out another one
ratchet
look at the difference guys that's
snatched
with no break in the sound and this is
ratchet it's got two different sounds
ratch it try it again
ratchet now let's talk about what it
means
it means someone who is rude okay so
when somebody's trashy in the way they
talk they're being ratchet that's right
so you could say i must tell you you're
sounding quite ratchet why don't you
calm down
so if somebody's angry and they're
probably boiling and screaming at you
you could say you're sounding quite
ratchet
another one
the customer at the billing counter was
so ratchet if i didn't had to pay my
bills i would have not taken her
nonsense which means that the customer
at the reception or at the billing
counter was talking very rudely and if
you didn't have to pay the bills you
wouldn't accept the way they were
talking to you so whenever somebody
talks rudely they're being
ratchet okay now we have g o a t what do
you mean
goat
well it is called goat but another way
to say it it's a short form or an
abbreviation for
greatest
of
all time
g-o-a-t
that's goat so when something is awesome
it's the best of all the time you say
that it's
goat or go 80. let's look at some
examples
this episode of american idol was go 80
which means was the greatest of all the
time the best ever
our sales figures are goat this month
i'm sure boss would be happy which means
they are the greatest of all the time
and that's surely gonna make the boss
happy
my last vacation was goat which means it
was the greatest of ever i had the best
experience so that's how you use g080
which is greatest of all the time
now we have the word gucci so of course
you know that gucci is a famous brand
okay a very popular and expensive brand
now it can be used also as a slang word
to talk about
something that is really good okay let's
look at an example
how's the pizza
it's really gucci which means it's
really good
where did you buy these trousers from
they're gucci which means they look
awesome not that they're from gucci but
that they look awesome
i wonder why is tammy behaving so gucci
i'm sure she needs a favor from me which
means i don't know why tammy is behaving
so nicely to me maybe
she needs a favor from me that's why
she's being so good happened right
that's happened with you as well
sometimes people behave too nicely with
you so they are being gucci okay
now we have the word beat okay now beat
do you think it's positive or negative
well as a verb
beat means to hit somebody okay and it's
not positive but here
it means to freshen up and to apply and
put on some makeup you know those days
when you look really knackered that
means when you look really tired
on those days you need to beat which
means
freshen up apply some makeup and look
super fresh i gotta beat my face before
i enter the party now here
gotta it means i got two okay i need to
apply some makeup before i enter the
party so you need to freshen up do your
touch-up that's called beat you look
tired why don't you go and beat up okay
so why don't you go freshen up maybe
change your clothes wash your face and
you'll look very fresh
that girl in my office spends five hours
throughout the day just beating her face
not beating her face but beating her
face which means to apply makeup
now we have the final word of the day
that's basic
so when you think that something is just
average
not good that's when you say it's
basic okay we learned words for
something that's really bad we learned
the word trashy okay we learned words
for something that's extremely good we
learned snatched now here we have a word
for something that's just basic so for
this situation
it means that something is average
let's now look at some examples
so you could say that was just a basic
party i really expected it to be grand
you know those moments when you go to a
party and the person who invited you
always throws awesome parties but this
time when you went you thought he kind
of missed out on something so that party
for you was just average probably not
the best okay it was not go 80 it was
not the greatest of all the time
the returns from our mutual fund are
basic not too much i wonder where shall
we invest now so you're looking for a
new place of investment because your
previous returns were just basic

better well this could be kind of like a
feedback to somebody so if you watched a
presentation and they told you hey could
