life well beautiful from the heart but
also from the exterior their
personalities were soaked and
personalities were so catchy that you
always wanted to kind of give them a
compliment but all you could say in the
end was I think you're really amazing I
think you're really great well today's
lesson is one such lesson because in
today's lesson we are going to be
talking about super catchy ways to
describe appearances and people and her
personalities so what are we waiting for
if you want to continue learning all of
these phrases please stay tuned with me
on this lesson my name is rod on and I
welcome you with a very big heart on
let's talk let's get started the first
phrase in the list is a fraidy-cat so
yeah we have cat fraidy what does fraidy
mean it's got something to do with
someone someone who gets scared easily
so what is a fraidy cat fraidy cat is a
person who gets scared easily
for example do you think children are
fraidy-cat a lot of student to Rijn
definitely are let's see how we can use
it in an example store being a
fraidy-cat get inside the room and
switch off the lights well at night who
doesn't get scared and so it it is being
instructed to the person that still
being a fraidy can please step inside of
the room and switch the switch to tube
light let's say this is for the
fraidy-cat let's move on to the next one
the next one is an old hand what is an
old hand an old hand is a person who's
an expert at doing things because that
person has an experience in doing that
thing for a very very long time for
example this one is a very complicated
machine it needs an old hand to run it
what is the meaning of an old hand it it
means it needs an expert to run this
machine back again because it is a
complicated one so a person who has a
lot of experience in using the
machine already can only help us in
running it better and smoothly the next
example is the law is very strict in
this country you need an old hand in law
to help you get out of it
that means somebody's actually stuck in
the law law and order of a country and
that person needs an old hand and expert
to help him or her to get out of the
Troublesome affair whichever it be that
the person is stuck in that is how we
can use an old hand to describe a person
a personality fresh as a daisy imagine
if somebody asks you how are you
everybody says I'm fine there's one of
the phrases that we learnt in one of the
lessons and that is fit as a fiddle but
besides that if you're short of phrases
and collocations what can you use you
can say this fresh as a daisy what is
fresh as a daisy
feeling energetic that means I am
feeling energetic thank you very much
after bathing he was feeling as fresh as
a daisy
that means he felt quite fresh and
energetic after taking a bath next is be
as fresh as a daisy on your first day to
work whenever you go in the first dog in
the organization that you work on your
first day be as fresh as a daisy
don't just be fine be as as fresh as a
daisy the next word is good for nothing
now this is something that is actually
not quite that is not used in quite a
positive sense it means a worthless
person or a worthless item something
that is something that is actually of no
use for example don't expect anything
from him he's a good-for-nothing
creature he's a good-for-nothing
creature that means he has nothing good
to do on nothing good to say and nothing
good to give to the people that he's
connected with so do not expect anything
from him
next one is I just broken up with Dave
right now I feel good for nothing that
mean that means right now I feel like a
worthless creature so
somebody's saying it probably for his
for her boyfriend and so the person is
saying I feel like a worthless person
the next is nerves of steel not this is
a very very strong phrase and it means
when nothing can scare you or make you
feel nervous you're such a strong
personality
you're so strong in your demeanor in
your personality in your in your
appearance that people call you nerves
of steel that means nothing can scare
you for example he has got nerves of
steel I have seen him handling all the
difficult situations calmly there is
this person who never gets nervous and
people have seen that person dealing
with all the possible difficulty
situations
calmly this was about nerves of steel if
you have somebody in your life who you
think never gets scared and is always
calm in difficult situations please do
let me know in the comments section
below
nerves of steel next one is not born
yesterday this is quite again we've
spoken about quite a lot of sarcastic
phrases so caustic and this is one not
born yesterday for example if somebody
is trying to fool you and you say dude
thank you very much for your advices but
I'm not born yesterday that means I'm
not so immature to not understand it for
example no no more an inexperienced
person or you can say simply somebody
who's not immature remember not mature
not immature
I understand all your tricks
I'm not born yesterday so someone is
saying that do not try to trick me
please I understand all of that and I'm
not born yesterday use this phrase
because it can be very very sarcastic
next one is I trust that you can take
the responsibility of handling all in an
administrative work you're not born
yesterday
so someone this is actually a good
example wherein someone is entrusting
their trust in someone in the other
person
and telling the person you can do this
I do trust in you because you're not
born yesterday because you have the
experience of handling such a situation
so use this phrase accordingly the next
one is a rare bird a rabbit means an
exceptional unusual person someone who's
really good or really bad in something
so it can be used in both positive
situations and negative situations as
well an exceptional or unusual person
for example he's a rare a rare bird that
can that you can find in any social
gathering that does not mean that you
can find that person anywhere that means
he's a rare bird who can't be found at
any social gathering just like that
casually he's very good or very
exceptional you are a rare bird I want
to know you more well probably a gutsy
person is saying saying this to somebody
he or she likes and the person is saying
I think you're a rare bird and I would
like to know you more I think you're an
exceptionally good one or bad one in the
context that that person is talking
about and the person is saying I want to
know you a little more the next example
is of the walk
what is of the walk it means an
arrogant person so somebody who's really
arrogant and very rude what at all times
that person is called of the walk
for example after winning the
competition James became of the
walk for a few days or for many days so
John James a person who participated in
a competition actually became of
the walk that means very arrogant like
this for many days another example would
be Mike's boss is of the walk at
all times he speaks very rudely Mike is
an employee in an organization and in
the same organization his boss works too
but he's always talk of the walk that
means he's always arrogant and rude to
his subordinates that's how you can use
the walk somebody who's really arrogant
at all times next one in the list is cat
burglar
what is cat burglar someone who smartly
gets away from things without letting
other people know about it smartly gets
away without other people knowing about
it
so imagine there's there's a person
let's say a thief who always gets away
after a robbery without even giving a
hint of the evidence left behind about
the things that he has done or about how
he has done it for example finally
finally the police caught on the cat
burglars who were the cause of many
thefts in our house cat burglars or cat
burglar who were the the cause of many
deaths in the house or in the community
another example you've been a cat
burglar for long you won't get away this
time in fooling others that means you've
been that person who has been doing
wrong things without letting other
people know about it you will not get
away at this time so a person who does
wrong things and gets away very easily
without letting other people know who
and how he did that to that's that is
the situation where you use cat burglar
cutter - what is cutter - it means to
become the center of attention of an
event on the basis of your appearance if
you remember in the beginning of the
lesson I did talk to you about how we
can describe appearances and personality
this one phrase here this one
collocation is actually used to describe
personality and personality of a person
who's really attractive and gets all the
attention of people wherever he or she
goes the first example is she cuts a -
wherever she were whenever she wears
this dress so there's this particular
dress that let's say a girl wears and
she always gots a - whenever she goes
out in that dress or let's say a man who
has a particular attire and let's say a
suit a tuxedo and that person cuts a -
wherever wherever that person goes
another example is he's got a very he's
got a very charming personality
he cuts a - wherever he goes and in
whatsoever he does we're talking about a
person who's got a very very charming
personality and that person cuts a -
everybody gets attracted to that person
whenever that person goes out there ever
he goes out that's all that we have for

and phrases of talking about people and
appearances thank you very much for
