You know it's very difficult to face disappointment and expressing it, it's all the more difficult, right?
Hello everyone , I am Niharika and in today's lesson we're gonna look at some
slang terms to express disappointment or some words that would help you to talk about sadness
but they are all slang terms, Now of course it's very difficult to face disappointment
and expressing it it's all the more difficult, right? So at times you don't want to get into
details like people would love to dig into your life and would love to ask you questions
about why are you so sad? and why you so upset? and you really don't want to get into details,
you just wanna cut them off, so these are the right words that you can use, okay. So
rather than just crying your lungs out just use these words. So let's get started, the
first one is bummer or bummer days, now bummer is a situation that depresses you, or you
really feel frustrated or really upset about something so that situation can be called
as bummer.... being stranded in a line or being stranded at the airport was such a bummer
so you are really disappointed with the way everything was going in the airport like you
were stranded in the flights were delayed so you are not very happy about it so you
can use the slang term as bummer, okay. Now, Bummer days.. Now bummer days you can use
it for the days that you have been upset so probably you've been upset because you were
sick throughout the week so you gonna say I've been sick throughout the week uh...bummer
days you see so you are upset ok these are the two slang terms that you can use when
you are upset, okay. The other one is boohoo now this is a very kiddish slang term but
it is an exclamation of unhappiness or it is an expression of representing the sound
of crying. Crying nosily or sobbing. You know how kids cry? Boohoo. So it represents, like
you know how kids say boohoo nobody loves me! So, boohoo is an exclamation that you
can use that you can say it loud when you are really upset about something.
The next one, Blargh. Now, blargh is another interjection or exclamation of unhappiness.
Ok! Like “I broke up with my boyfriend, Blargh!” So you are just kind of using an
exclamation to show that you are sad, you are upset or you are depressed. Ok! So that’s
another term that you can use. The next one In a Funk. In a funk is when
you feel really sad or just when you are down. Down or maybe you are very sad. “SO don’t
mess with me today I am in a funk” I am in a funk because I am upset about something.
So probably you don’t want to get into details , you don’t want to tell someone why you
are upset , then just use this, I am in a funk today, so I am in a bad mood, I am sad,
I am upset. The next one burst one’s bubble. Now a situation
that disappoints you a situation that upsets you , is when your bubble is bursted. So a
situation that upsets you or disappoints you or someone who upsets you well that’s when
you can use this slang term or a slang phrase. Well for example you thought of camping the
last weekend however it just didn’t stop raining it burstedout bubble so basically
it dis[pointed you so much because you were all set to camp last weekend with your friends
and the rains well, that was not really great, you were upset about it. Right! So this is
one of the phrase that you can use. The next one soul sucking. Soul sucking is
something or someone who is extremely depressing. Or, something that depresses you way too much.
So for example, probably at your work place there is this one person who keeps annoying
you, probably he is your boss, who keeps annoying you and you are just so done working for him.
For example my boss is such a soul sucker, basically it means that he depresses you way
too much or my job is so soul sucking. SO, probably you are not very happy with you job,
It depresses you way too much and that’s why you are using this term.
Then the next one is butt hurt. Now, that sounds funny right? Well, what does it mean?
Butt hurt, it means you know when you get a little offended or when you get a little
upset because of a friendly insult, probably a friend is just making fun of you and you
get upset, or you are a little offended then you gonna say “Hey I am a little butt hurt”
Ok! So it means that you are a little upset. So it’s just because of a friendly insult
you get upset or you are upset because of a friendly insult. Or probably you just insulted someone, and you think that
person is a little butt hurt right now so you gonna say “Hey I was just kidding, stop
being butt hurt “ so this means stop being upset . Right! So this is the way you can
use this term. And then the last one, Depressica. Now that’s
quite an interesting word Depressica ,Yes it is a slang term used for a female who is
very depressed over a boy. So probably her relationship has failed with her boyfriend
and now she’s really upset about it. So the woman who is very upset or depressed because
of her relationship with her guy can be called as Depressica. So a female who is upset over
a guy. SO a female who is extremely upset because of a guy, because maybe she had a
break up or the guy cheated on her and that has quite depressed her or disturbed her then
she can be called as Depressica. Ok, like my best friend, she broke up with her boyfriend
and she is a depressica now, Ok! So that’s the way you can use the term. So hope you
like these terms, start using them, you will really sound very fluent in English. But,
remember these are all slang terms so you can use it in a very informal way, odnt use
it at work would not sound really great. But yes, you can use them when you are with your
friends and family. I will be back with a new lesson, till then take care and be happy
don’t be sad. Right? I will be back, take care.
