Hello everyone.
I'm Nysha and
being a native speaker myself when I use
certain words
while speaking in daily
conversation or with my students, they sometimes get puzzled and wonder what
word did Nysha use?
C textbook
English is quite different from everyday English that is generally spoken
by natives.
If you're unfamiliar with slang
words, it can sometimes make things quite difficult for English learners while
watching a movie for instance or even while speaking to
a native speaker.
Have you experienced that before?
Native
speakers naturally use a lot of slang words to communicate in English.
It just
sounds so natural when they do that.
Therefore I have prepared a great slang word series where I will teach you
50 slang words that are
commonly used by
native speakers in everyday conversation
and many of them.
I use myself
too.
This is a five part lesson series
and you're watching the first
part of this series.
Each lesson will
Cover 10 Great Slang words to help you
speak English fluently and confidently sounds exciting.
Let's begin.
The
first word is kg, kg.
What does it mean?
It means something
secretive,
kg.
Say it with me, kg.
Here's an example.
Everyone knows
about them being a couple.
They need to stop being so cagey.
Nice way to say secretive isn't it?
The next word is
Bomb
Bomb don't get scared.
We're not talking about explosives here.
This language simply means something really good.
Like really, really good if you want
to express just
how good something or someone is.
You can use
this word for example, the
chicken curry.
My mother made the other day was bomb.
I mean
to say it was really, really good.
Did you ever imagine you'd be using such words to express yourself and be perfectly understood
by native speakers?
Well,
this is the magic of using slang words.
Let's move on to the next word.
Crass.
Here's the pronunciation.
Crass.
Say it with me cross, which means
stupid or
insensitive.
If someone ever acts or speaks without considering
how other people may feel and
possibly offend someone, then this is the perfect slang word to use.
The
word is crass.
It's not our
fault.
I don't know why she spoke in such a crass manner.
I never pay attention to his crass comments.
Moving on to number four to pig out, pig out
again.
This has nothing to do with pigs.
It simply means to eat a
lot.
Are you a foodie?
Well then I'm sure you will use this word a lot.
So the next time you eat
too much don't say oh, I ate too much or
I ate a lot.
Say I pigged
out, for example, I
completely pigged out last night at the barbecue.
The food was so delicious.
Now bring our next word after eating too much.
We usually feel
quite full and sleepy, don't we?
But the next word
has nothing to do with actually sleeping.
The word is sleep
on,
sleep on.
So if it doesn't have anything to do with sleep then?
What does it mean?
And how should we use it to sleep on in slang means to underestimate
something.
That's right.
You
Wouldn't have guessed that one.
Would you
ever thought of skipping watching a movie or series because it may not seem
interesting.
But then you think, okay, why not?
Lets
watch it for a few minutes and then decide, then guess what that movie or series
grabs your
attention and
turns out to be really bomb.
And you can't believe you were just thinking of skipping watching it.
So how do you express this emotion in slang?
You could say I was going to sleep on watching
money heist on netflix, but it's actually
bomb.
Here's another sentence.
Don't sleep on her cooking.
It's really tasty.
That was an
Interesting one, wasn't it?
Let's move on to the next languid beat.
What on earth are we going to beat
an egg perhaps?
Na by now you must have
guessed that you cannot put a literal
meaning to slang
words because their actual meanings are quite different.
So what does the word
beat mean?
Then, Can you guess?
It simply means to be tired?
Yes, it means to be really
tired.
So next time you're tired, don't
say I'm tired.
Use the word
beat.
Instead.
Say it with me.
Beat.
I was so
beat.
After that
long workout at the gym.
Beat
to follow our
next landward is flaky, flaky.
Does it remind you of peeled skin or maybe snowflakes?
When we, when you hear the word flakey, Let me tell you that The word flakey
in slang means someone
who is indecisive, basically.
Someone who
Just can't make up their mind saying or doing one
thing at one time and then all of a sudden
changing and their opinion and doing or saying something else.
So if someone cannot make up their mind
easily and decides, it's very indecisive, you can call them flaky.
I find him flaky and
I never trust anything.
He says.
He always changes his words.
Moving on to Slang Word # eight.
If you want to express
just how bad something is.
I mean really bad.
It could be a movie you watched, could be some food you
tried or could be an experience, then
use the word sucked sucked.
You can also use it with the pronoun it before the word to describe
something bad or of poor quality.
Here is an example, hey, how was the party last night?
It sucked?
Not many people came
and the music was so boring.
We're almost done.
Now, the next word is sweet.
We usually use
this word to describe
food, drink or a person,
don't we?
But did you know that it has a
completely different meaning when
it's used in slang, The word sweet means great or fantastic.
So if something is great or you want to use the word fantastic to
describe it, say sweet instead.
For example, have a look at this conversation.
Hey, did I tell
you I'm going on a caribbean cruise.
Oh
really?
That's sweet.
And the last word of this lesson is to describe when something doesn't
Go as one would expect
basically when something is a huge disappointment.
The
correct language to
express this would be a bummer.
Say it with me bummer, which means a
complete disappointment and here's
how you can use it.
We will have to cancel today's picnic
because it's raining heavily.
Such a bummer.
Now let's quickly revise the slang words we've learned today kg,
which means secretive bomb, which
means really good
crass, which is used to describe something or someone
stupid or insensitive
pig out used when we eat a
lot, sleep on.
Do you remember what this means?
This means to underestimate something or someone beat,
which means tired,
flaky.
We use this word to
describe someone indecisive,
sucked something of poor or bad
quality
Sweet used to mean
great or fantastic.
And lastly,
bummer used to express when
something is a huge disappointment.
That's all for today.
