Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Adjective phrase 19. The adjective phrase today is
eye-popping. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If something is eye-popping it
is so impressive or attractive, it makes someone's eyes protrude like
almost like stick out, protrude while looking at it. So sort of like wow. Kind
of like that. Or, I don't know kind of reminds me of Jim Carrey in "Mask." You
know, in the cartoons too, the eyes actually pop out. You know when they see something
that's very impressive or very exciting we say something is eye-popping. All right.
Let's look at several examples here. Example number one, Jennifer Lopez wore a
very low-cut eye-popping Versace dress at the 2000 Academy Awards that started the
fashion of the safety-pin dress. Yeah. I remember that. Of course. you know. it was
one of those dresses that looks like it could slide open very easily, and it was
really low-cut almost down to like where her navel was. I forget who she was
presenting an award with somebody at that time and I remember the actor
saying I don't know what i'm doing here nobody's looking at me. So of course
it was definitely considered to be an eye-popping dress. I know several other
celebrity females celebrities kind of copied this for a few years after. Its
kind of over now. But at one time that safety-pin dress ... I don't know how they
actually did it to stick, so that it doesn't open and show everything. But
obviously they have something in there that's kind of holding it. So they call
it a safety pin dress. So I don't know are they really using safety pins ? I
don't know that that sounds dangerous. It sounds like somebody might get stabbed
somewhere. But anyway that's the way they refer to it. But that was definitely an
eye-popping dress. Okay. Let's look at number two. Richard Burton gave Elizabeth
Taylor... remember when Elizabeth when they were
both still alive. Remember, Elizabeth Taylor married many many times, but she
married Richard Burton twice, and I remember there was a point where it was
very famous because he bought her this extremely
huge diamond ring. So Richard Burton gave Elizabeth Taylor and eye-popping 33.1 9
carat diamond ring. Yes. Years ago we definitely say that was an eye-popping
ring. Oh my God ! Look at that. All right good,
and number three. He let her use you know, he let her use his credit card and
later he received an eye-popping bill. Ah What ? Oh my god ! Maybe she took advantage
of this. Okay anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time.
Bye-bye.
