hey guys hey guys so so I suggested that
I read June some English idioms that
he's never heard before and he can guess
what they mean
got it you know it she's a really smart
guy he doesn't need to guess what the
idioms are he's going to tell us what
the idioms mean in tradition because
that's how good his English is ready
sure I do
what does elephant in the room okay
elephant in the room there's an elephant
in the room means it's really crowded
it's very there's not much space left
because it it's like there's an elephant
in the room
yeah there's so many people down there
yeah there are so many elephants in
Japan okay hmm Japan is so crowded
there's so many elephants here elephant
in the room actually means that there is
something unspoken unspoken word like
there's kind of an issue that everyone
in the room knows about but no one's
talking about it so there's like a big
issue but they're ignoring it supposedly
it came from a dude named Elin I'm Davey
I'm Davey cue ball from Ross Shaquille
huh the hit movie arrest in dude who
wrote a story about a guy who went to
him using him and he saw all sorts of
tiny things there but he didn't notice
that there was an actual elephant there
so for example let's say that half of my
family voted for Donald Trump and half
of my family voted for Hillary Clinton
and then after the election
Donald Trump won half of my family is
extremely angry at the other half of my
family when no one's talking about it's
over was just sitting at the dinner
table so the flowers on sale today
O'Hara but really in their mind they're
all things you do this dies
this is your fault yeah my father doing
that so that they don't ruin the
atmosphere and can be yeah it could be
for any reason I like the definition
that it's crowded better I'm gonna go
with our you're not okay
yeah this is really fun and no fun on
the same jinba that yeah what does beat
around the bush mean forum British beat
about the bush beat around the bush beat
around the bush it around bush means
talking to people about rumors
annoyingly annoyingly talking to people
about rumors yeah so like someone who's
gossiping so like that that girl at work
who is always like coming her I've been
talking about everyone else and you're
like Carol stop yeah did you hear about
the ham man she forgot to pick up her
kik at Carper said Carol what isn't in
care anyway but but why what does
beating around the bush where does that
come from
you know household wise what it's in
talk about room is so badly that she
went out son so you go outside of the
house and be actually physically be
around a bush to go to talk to her
neighbor what is you just longer off
like why can't you go up to the driveway
and just walk over the person she wanted
to possibly I want to talk to was in the
yard that was surrounded by bush so like
Joey I was just chilling by her pool and
then Kara like pops out from the bushes
mm-hmm Joanna did you hear about Diane
um leader of the bush actually means to
like avoid answering a question to stall
like waste time so let's say you have to
go to a business meeting and everyone
needs to solve an issue but then people
just start talking about unrelated stuff
so they're beating around the bush
they're not getting to the root of the
problem that they got solved this came
from I guess back in the day some people
would like to do bird hunting if the
bird was in a bush they would go and
actually beat the bush to get the bird
to come out and that was kind of like
the prelude to actually being able to
hunt so before they could actually hunt
the bird they had to eat the bush and
get the bird out so apparently that
that's how that came about
hey June yeah maybe you know this one
June since a wine and of course you know
that he knows always what does sleep
with the fishes mean sweet sleep with
the many shows fishes look amazing
you is i addition because you're you
drown and your corpse your your body
suck under your bottom there's this
breather or sea and then you know you
know people don't want to be direct so
they say ah and my son he's sleeping
with dads others about his time to drown
specifically the type of death
my son is slipping with fishes stuff
sorry to hear about your son what
happened he's sleeping with the fishes
so sleeping with the fishes actually
refers to someone who was murdered and
their body is dumped into water so there
is like a nothing oh yeah they are dead
in their courses underwater but usually
because they were murdered and it's
famous in English because of the
Godfather movie it was used in The
Godfather so I was kind of close missile
Brasi sleeps with the fishes
ok so um you definitely wouldn't say
this if I your own son if your son
drowned people usually think of it in
reference to like the Mafia
the mob killing someone alright Jin
sensei alright Jun's insane all right
what does bite the bullet mean the
bullet that comes out of a gun yes um it
means do something painful or do
something painful patiently patiently do
something painful oh yeah why where's
that phrase come from um you know like
no one stood by bullets it's really
painful probability is horrible this
used to be one of the punishments they
used to do back in 18th centuries in
America okay 18th century America people
used to fight so like what kind of
punishment like if a kid broke their
parents lamp or something dad like all
right go bite this bullet out yes it's
going to look very very serious that
will you know draw a gun from his door
and it shows a gun and it opened the gun
but alert
bullets and then he's gonna miss
anything just me they can't fight a
bullet yeah well it kind of kind of a
close okay so bite the bullet means to
endure something patiently okay and it
can be something painful as well but
these days it's probably just it mostly
just something you really don't want to
do but you just got to bite the bullet
and go do it but that's bad is it yeah
and the origin is from back in the day
when they didn't have like anesthesia
for when you had to have surgery oh and
so they gave you a bullet to bite down
on so you could clench your teeth while
you were being operated on those things
are pretty close to the thing huh we'll
just hit the nail on the head mean it's
death penalty hit the nail on the head
done so like a human head hitting a nail
into someone's head yeah I mean it's
difficulty so what happened to jebediah
how does court case go they're gonna hit
him in the head with the nail George oh
my god that's horrible
oh who died by nail through the head
very very heavy know like penalty the
flat part of the nail that's called the
head of the nail so when you hit the
head of the nail you're getting
something exactly right so like for one
of these idioms you knew what it was you
guessed it correctly so that you hit the
nail on the head with that one this one
you did not hit the middle but you hit
the nail into the head and that's
horrible
okay two different scent what does Elvis
has left the building me Elvis has left
the building
what snowless Oh
okay June hi what does beat a dead horse
mean means you a jerk this character yep
you're an
because you're beating a dead horse yeah
worse than you can do
you're the worst that's what it is
anyway oh you would really be full of
you're beating a dead horse no way so
the term dead horse actually used to
mean something of no value so beating a
dead horse is a phrase that means you're
wasting time doing something that's
already been done so let's say okay I
got it
so let's say you have an argument with
someone and you try to convince them
that you're right and then you you give
up you're done and then someone else
comes over and starts having the same
argument you'd be like Aldo Bonner
you're beating a dead horse because you
already tried I it didn't work okay
here's something straight from the
horse's mouth immediate cuz you
listening to a horse the horse told me
here to hear something from the horse's
mouth means you're hearing something
from the authoritative source so the
person who is authorized to speak on a
subject sounds like there are so many he
deems about like related to horses we
like our horse videos I wonder if there
any more horses yes my god
oh I know I know one it didn't even have
to look it up horsing around stop
horsing around like stop messing around
yeah this is what like a mom or a
teacher would say to their kids stop
horsing around over there
we're in communion I just found an
article this is the origin of twelve
horse-related idioms hang on okay I got
the wrong horse ones
hold your horses horses
that means we Americans love horses
hold your horses Mitsui love horses
because i'm holding like a little bitty
horse horse I think they're bigger baby
horsy uh doesn't mean anything
yeah yeah this one's really comment or
you hold your horses means like hang on
just wait they stop like just wait a
minute it means someone's like rushing
or they go okay sorry someone wants to
do something quickly it's very good
uh-huh
so I think that's enough for horse
idioms to wanting more horse idioms
since out of horse idioms all right no
horse means I'm done no horse no purse
no horse silver get out no yep
all right I'm gonna end every video no
horse sure baby Thank You June sensei
are teaching us I learned so much today
I've won like a elephants elephants mean
that places are crowded and hit a nail
on the head means you're executing
people with now yeah that's the worst
one you can get all right no worries no
worse
