I have a question for you.
Do you have haters?
Well, the truth of the matter
is that not everyone likes us.
In fact, some people just straight up hate us.
They dislike us for no reason.
In fact, they are very bad people.
But wait a minute.
Can I keep using the words hate, bad and dislike?
Well, that's boring English.
That's basic English.
And therefore, in today's lesson, I'm going to show you
some really great C one phrases to describe your haters,
to describe how their mind really works, okay?
So if you want to describe how your
haters behave, let's come with me to the
first phrase, which is be green with envy.
Now, this colour, green, is sometimes associated
with envy, the feeling of being jealous,
because that's what haters are.
They are jealous of you.
But what does it really mean?
It means that haters dislike others because they have
something that you don't, which means you may possess
certain things, but they don't have that.
And because of that, they're really mad at you.
Well, is it your fault? Not really.
But that's how they are.
They just are green with envy.
So the next time you can say they are green with envy.
So whenever I get a compliment, nisha
can't help but become green with envy.
Okay, so you are getting a compliment
and you have something that she doesn't,
and for that reason, she hates you.
He was green with envy when
his colleagues achieved great career success.
As you can see, his colleagues had success, but
he didn't, and that made him green with envy.
Before we go to our next phrase, let
me share something very interesting with you.
We have designed an English fluency
course which helps you speak naturally.
As you can see, this course
has been divided into three parts.
The first part has been done by
Christine, one of my fellow trainers.
Then we've got Niharika doing the second part,
and I've personally curated the third part.
Now, I believe that this course will
help you speak English naturally and fluently. How?
Well, we've got a total of 450 smart English
phrases in this course with 1000 example sentences.
And if you learn how to use them
properly in your everyday speech, well, you will
come to the C one level of English.
And that will be the deciding factor
between you knowing great English versus somebody
who just knows basic English.
Isn't that great?
Well, the best part is that this
course is accessible on all devices.
And to get more information about this course, simply click
on the link in the description of this video.
So we'll go back to our lesson to
learn some more C one level vocabulary.
And the next phrase for describing your
haters is playing into someone's hands.
Now, haters are very smart.
They want you to play into their hands.
So what does playing into their hands really mean?
It means you cause someone to unknowingly
behave in a way that benefits you.
Like I said, haters are really smart, so
they will do something so that you behave
in a way that will benefit them.
So what do they want you to do?
They want you to have or give a bad reaction?
All right, so let's look at
an example to understand this.
He leaked false information to the
media, and several journalists played into
his hands by spreading the rumour.
This guy was apparently a hater.
He wanted false information to be leaked out.
So the media played into his hands.
He got the response that he wanted.
They played into his hands and they
spread a rumour which benefited him.
He's a really bad person, right?
He's a hater.
Or you could say, by responding angrily
to the provocation, sarah unknowingly played into
her opponent's hands and lost the debate.
Now, there could have been two people debating about
something, and Sarah must have been a good person.
But her opponent may have been a hater.
So maybe they provoked her.
There was a provocation, they said something bad.
But what did Sarah do?
She played into her opponent's hands.
She gave her hater the reaction that he wanted. Right?
That's what haters do.
They make sure that you play into their hands.
Let's move on to the next idiom that will help you
describe your haters, which is rub it in someone's face.
Now, this expression means that someone makes
you feel worse about your bad experiences.
Imagine you're already going through a bad experience,
but someone is so bad that they make
you feel even worse about it.
Have you heard of such people?
Have you known such people?
Well, in a sentence you could say,
after winning the game, jake couldn't resist
rubbing it in his opponent's face.
Well, guess what?
Jake won the game.
His opponent did not.
Now, he should have made his opponent feel good.
That's what a good sportsman does, right?
But no, he was a hater, so
he rubbed it in his opponent's face.
Another sentence.
I was embarrassed that I forgot my speech.
But Carol, who apparently hates me, has kept
rubbing it in my face since that day.
So I'm already having a bad experience. I'm embarrassed.
I'm not happy that I forgot something.
But she kept rubbing it in my face.
She kept reminding me of that.
And that's not a good thing.
But that's what haters do.
So we'll move on to the next way that haters behave.
The expression which is finding fault
with something or with someone.
Well, finding a fault means finding mistakes.
And therefore, this expression means that you are
criticising someone or something that somebody has done,
often very regularly, and without a valid reason.
Now, I believe that criticism is good, but if you
keep doing it over and over again for no real
good reason, it means you are a hater.
You don't really give criticism with a good intention.
So in a sentence.
You could say a hater always
finds fault with almost everyone.
Well, that's what they are, right? That's what they do.
Or you could say when someone finds
fault with the smallest of mistakes, it
is a reflection of their insecurity.
Well, let me tell you that haters are quite
insecure, and the reason they find false or mistakes
with you is because they are very insecure.
So this is a sentence you can actually use.
We'll move on to our next Idiom, or our next
expression, which is consumed with hatred, insecurity or envy.
Well, these three are negative emotions that haters have
hatred, which means they don't like you, insecurity because
they don't feel good about themselves, and envy, which
means they are super, super jealous.
And if you're consumed with it, it means you
are filled with it, and therefore it means that
you are deeply affected by these negative emotions.
Let's look at some sentences.
His online comments showed that he was
consumed with hatred for his own colleagues.
Imagine passing really bad comments
on your own colleagues.
It shows that you are filled,
you are consumed with hatred.
He was so consumed with envy that
he skipped his best friend's success party.
Well, he was filled with envy or jealousy that
he did not go to his own friend's party.
That's a bad thing, right?
But that's what haters do.
Anyway, we'll go to our next
expression, which is stir up resentment.
Resentment is a nice word.
It's another word for deep hatred
or a deep dislike for someone.
But there are some people who store it.
Store it means increase it, make it grow. Okay?
So therefore this expression means that somebody is causing
hatred to birth in your mind and grow.
That's a really bad thing, right?
Because hatred is a negative emotion.
But imagine someone is trying to cause
it to grow in your mind.
Those people are really bad, but that's what they do.
They stir up resentment.
So haters put their energy into
stirring up resentment in others.
They want you to also feel angry.
So haters, in my opinion, are angry people.
So they will do everything to cause hatred to
grow in your mind, because they want you to
also become as angry as they are.
Or you could say her colleagues success
stirred up deep resentment in her heart.
Like I said, haters are not happy
if you are moving forward in life.
So if you have a colleague, or if you
are somebody who is successful, and if someone does
not like you, what's going to happen?
It can stir deep resentment or deep
hatred in their heart for you.
Okay, let's go to the next
expression, which is hate monger.
Now, hate monger is a person, okay?
This is an adjective used to describe a person.
What kind of person?
A person who stirs up extreme hate or resentment.
We know what it is to stir up hate and
resentment, like we saw in the previous expression, but the
person who does that is called a hate monger.
So online forums can sometimes become breeding
grounds for hate mongers, which means a
lot of online forums like Facebook, Instagram,
these are places where hate mongers thrive.
They love to just go ahead
and stir up hatred and resentment.
In those forums, the politician's inflammatory speeches
labelled him as a notorious hate monger.
There may have been a politician who gave
inflammatory speeches, which means his speeches were filled
with divisive comments, with comments that were not
very kind and very politically correct, and therefore
people labelled him as a hate monger.
In other words, somebody who stirred
up hatred in other people.
All right, let's look at one more
expression, which is hating someone's guts.
This is another way of saying
that you hate someone intensely.
They were brothers, but surprisingly,
they hated each other's guts.
Okay, well, brothers are supposed to
like each other, but surprisingly, they
had extreme hatred for each other.
Or you could say ever since their divorce,
sarah can't stand John, who may have been
her ex husband, and she hated his guts.
Okay, so you can say Sarah hated John and
she couldn't stand him, so she hated his guts.
All right, let's go to our next
expression, which is one up someone.
Okay, what is the meaning of one up someone?
This expression means that you have this constant need
to show that you are superior to other people.
Like I said, hate.
People who hate and haters, they are insecure,
they don't feel good about themselves, and therefore
they feel that constant pressure to show that
they are better than other people.
So what are they doing?
They are one upping the other person.
So you can say whenever Sarah shared
her success stories, he'd always one up
her by describing his own achievements.
So here is poor Sarah talking about her achievements, but
this other guy, who is her hater, he would one
up her, which means he would try to show that
he was more superior by talking about his own achievements
without letting her talk about her own achievements.
Okay.
Or another example, her constant need to one up
someone just shows how insecure she really is.
Well, these are the various expressions and the
various phrases that you can use when you
are talking about someone who hates you.
Because, believe me, this is a very strong emotion and a
lot of people seem to have hate inside of them.
But if you want to talk about them,
well, you now know what to use.
So keep learning these expressions and make sure
you put in the comments as to which
of these expressions was your favourite.
And I'll be giving you my own feedback.
I'll be coming back with my own lessons very soon.
So take care and have a great day. Keep learning.
