hey guys what's up Stephanie the English
coach here from English full-time comm
in this video I am going to share with
you 13 slang phrases that I use every
single day now the interesting thing is
that I didn't even realize that these
phrases were slain until one of you
brought it to my attention
and you said hey I went to the United
States and I was really shocked because
people used all these phrases that I had
never heard before and when you listed
the phrases I was like oh my gosh those
are very common like I used those every
single day so I decided that I wanted to
make you guys a video to share these
phrases with you okay so they're slang
it's informal that doesn't mean you
can't use it at work okay if you work in
an office you can use these phrases with
your co-workers maybe if you work in a
call center or if you work for a bank or
something like that where you have to be
more formal with people on the phone
maybe these aren't the phrases you would
use but these are very common in
everyday conversation and like I said I
use them everyday so for those of you
who don't know I'm from California so
this is obviously American English and
expressions that we use in the USA so
the first one is it's all good it's all
good
this means it's okay so if for example I
was planning on hanging out with my
sister one day and then she calls me and
says hey Steph I'm so sorry I can't make
it you know my kid got sick or whatever
then I could say hey don't worry about
it it's all good so I'm not upset about
it I'm not disappointed everything's
fine
do what you have to do and then maybe we
can hang out later it's all good another
example of this is let's say I'm going
to my friend's house and I'm supposed to
bring drinks and we're gonna have like a
gathering a little party or something
like that and then on my way there I end
up forgetting the drinks and I just
start feeling so bad about it so I go
and I say hey you know I'm so sorry I
forgot the drinks do you want me to you
know go back to the store and get
something my friend might say oh no
Steph it's all good you know what
actually some other people brought
drinks so we're covered we're covered we
don't need anything else so it's all
good stuff don't worry about it so again
this means everything is okay the next
one is no worries this means don't worry
or don't worry about it usually when I'm
talking with people I don't say don't
worry I say no
worries so again back in the example I
just gave if I forgot drinks and I was
going to my friend's house we were gonna
have a party she might say oh no worries
it's all good
okay we'll just put all those phrases
together no worries don't worry about it
it's all good everything's ok so when
somebody accidentally does something
wrong or they forget something or they
make a mistake and if there's no problem
you know a lot of times you guys might
say oh there's no problem it is no
problem or something like that you can
just say oh no worries it's ok it's all
good the next one is sure thing okay
sure thing means yes
absolutely of course so hey Steph can I
come over later can we hang out yeah
sure thing I'm free ok next I'm good I'm
good
now normally you guys might hear this
phrase once on them says hi how are you
I'm good how are you or I'm doing well
how are you well I'm good can also mean
no thank you I don't want what you're
offering so again let's say I'm at my
sister's house and I'm having dinner and
she goes hey do you want seconds ok the
seconds is like a second plate of food
do you want seconds do you want more I
can say no I'm good I'm good this was
plenty thank you so much thanks I'm good
no thank you
I don't want what you're offering or if
a group of friends is planning to go to
the movies like in an hour they say hey
Steph we're all gonna go to the movies
want to come I could say I'm good I have
a lot of work to do later
no thank you I can't go or I don't want
to go I have a lot of stuff to do so I'm
good I'm good that's ok no thanks ok the
next one is I got this or I got it now
this can be used a few different ways
for example if I'm having lunch with a
friend and then someone comes and brings
up the check I can start to pay and say
no I got it I got it I got this like I'm
going to pay for this but it can also be
used to mean I can handle this I don't
need help
so maybe I'm lifting a heavy box and
someone says whoa Steph that looks
really heavy do you need some help with
that I could say no no I got it I got it
or I got this I don't need help I can
handle this I'm ok next we'll do this
means ok yes I agree so someone might
say hey Steph can you bring the
paperwork by the office later today so I
can sign it
say yeah sure thing will do no problem I
will bring the paperwork by the office
so when you're making plans and you know
someone asks if you can do something or
what do you think are you gonna be able
to yeah sure thing will do no problem so
it basically means we will do that or I
will do that next no way no way no way
that means wow that's interesting I
can't believe that are you serious no
way no way so this can be said in a
positive or a negative way like no way I
can't believe that that's awesome
or if something bad happens you can say
no way seriously they did that to you
are you kidding me okay next that sucks
okay that means that's awful I'm so
sorry to hear that
oh that sucks and I use this I say this
a lot it depends who I'm with you know
maybe I will say something else if I'm
in an environment where I feel like I
have to be more formal but with my
friends my family I say that sucks a lot
my mom doesn't necessarily like this
phrase so it's kind of a generational
thing you know some slang is used more
with younger generations than with older
generations so this is probably one of
those phrases that's used more with
younger generations so the next one is
for real for real this means really
seriously are you kidding for real they
did that are you sure for real so for
real again it's just like asking
seriously it can also be used as an
expression like that's crazy for real
okay so when you're asking for real
you're not always asking did that really
happen it's also an expression like oh
my gosh that's crazy right and my dad
has a way of saying this that's
completely different he says is that so
is that so I don't say that but I guess
that's lame too like that's what my dad
says he'll be like ah is that so
or is that so I don't know I can't even
imitate him because I just actually
never used this phrase I just say for
real okay the next one you guys might
hear me say sometimes I say what the
heck what the heck a lot of people say
what the hell but I don't like thing
what the hell because to me it's just
too strong and
I don't prefer it and I think what the
heck is just kind of funny also so I
just say hey what the heck what the heck
is wrong with you what the heck is wrong
with that guy what the heck why did you
do that what's going on what the heck so
what the heck just basically means I
can't believe this what's going on I'm
not okay with the situation I don't like
this what the heck
next nice if something is really cool or
interesting or you like it you can just
say hey nice that's awesome nice you got
a new job nice you got a new car nice it
looks awesome so again nice used like
that just means that's cool that's
awesome that's interesting all right
nice nice
okay the last one is got it got it means
I understand so whenever you're writing
something down let's say someone's
giving you a phone number they give it
to you you write it down then you can
say got it okay when you finish you got
it you you understand you wrote it down
and now you have it got it or if
someone's explaining something to you
you can say okay okay got it I
understand that makes sense
Thanks that's what that means okay so
those are all the words that I have for
you guys today and what I would love to
know in the comments is which of these
phrases were new for you where all of
them knew we're only a few of them knew
were none of them knew if none of these
were new for you then that's great you
probably have a very high level of
fluency in English you probably watch a
lot of TV in English and that's why you
understand all of these phrases I mean
hopefully everyone understood them right
but do you understand them enough to
feel comfortable using them in the
appropriate situations I guess that's
you know one level is understanding
another level is feeling comfortable and
being able to use them so what did you
guys think of these phrases was this
