jonywish

You’re right, but you can see the idioms written out in the lesson description above the video.

It is interesting to learn english idioms. Thanks.

Md Hilmi Abdullah

I enjoy very much engvid. The teachers are wonderful. their lessons are easy to understand and useful. Their accents are perfect so now I need some training about strong accents: Scotich, Australian, American. I hope they can help me ! Thank you very much

vilainpetitcrapaud

I agree with you, vilainpetitcrapaud. Strong accents are very common and all around the World. All my life studyig English for not understanding sentences like ‘Hallo! D’u ‘nst wa’sng? -but spoken by mobile- Sure! They speak quite good RP English.

Carlos

this is a great lesson well explained thanks a lot!

ikram

i likes to learn english more…

fiza

Thank you, so much Jon.
Jon please I have a question: a couch potato is a person that in general is lazy or only is a person who sits in front the tv and do anything?

Again, thank you.

Dorian

I think..
a couch potato = someone who just watch and sit in front of TV and doing nothing but only eating (potato chips and other snacks) until he becomes fat and round like potato.. :P

You can not say it for other kind of laziness.

gimmehunny

Maybe we can also consider “Al Bundy” as a correct answer…!!! :)

milly

I added that one :)

engVid

I didn’t doubt that at all!! :)

milly

hold on..
AL Bundy? what is it?
is it the answer of comment above?
-couch potato, can be applied to any lazy behavior- or specifically to ‘watching TV’ behavior?
sorry, i was kinda lost here..
pls kindly specify..

gimmehunny

Hi gimmehunny! The correct answer is “cough potato”. “Al Bundy” was a joke! Al Bundy is a character from an american serie “Married with children”. This character loves watching TV, he’s a cough potato! If you want to know more about it, go and see on Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Bundy

milly

omg.. no wonder I got confused here.. we don’t get that series here that’s why.. thxs milly..
btw milly, do you get notified in your e-mail when anybody responds to your comment? coz I’ve been waiting for any notification, but haven’t got any.. :(
Mr. engVid, could you please look through it? or I just don’t deserve any? :((

gimmehunny

No problem! There are so many series! To get notifications by email when someone respond to your comments, you need to go in your profile (“edit your profile” near your photo in the top of the page). Then go at “COMMENT ALERTS” and tick the box “email: to get notified by email when someone replies to your comments”. And after don’t forget to click on “SAVE YOUR CHANGES” (at the bottom). After that, it should work! (if it doesn’t, you’d have to ask to Mr EngVid! HI MR ENGVID!;)

milly

Hi Milly ;) Always good to see you! I didn’t forget about you… just been really, really busy!

engVid

gimmehunny — I will check your account to see if there is some problem with the email settings. You *do* deserve engVid comment reply notifications!

engVid

Piece of cake!

totong

toty

bottoms up for engvid

cihanss

thanks

gogo

Come to Manchester and you won’t understand anything :) their accent is so difficult to understand. Sounds like vowels only. Sometimes i think that my eng is terrible when i listen to them cause i can’t really understand what ppl say here. Even sitting on a bus and listening to chicks behind me and i can’t understand them. Fuxing hell, it’s not a peace of cake. In states it is but not here. And there is another one: Peace of piss. The same meaning :) just you wouldn’t say it to your boss.

xewax

Good lesson :)

imagination

the new one for me was out to lunch.
but bottoms up was no so clear for me

ANGEL

mamyhawa

This was awesome!! Nice idioms.

Mandragora

Great lesson. I have a question though. Can the idiom “sweet tooth” be extended to food that is not sweet? For instance, can I say “I have a salt tooth.” ??

Daniel

WOW WOW thanks a lot!
the lesson was wonderful and interesting I enjoyed too much, but I had a problem with “out to lunch” sentence.

I didn’t understand it that much, can someone explain “out to lunch” to me more, because I tryed to put it in a sentence but I couldn’t. How and when can I call someone crazy “you’re out to lunch”.

Thank you,
Mariam – Dubai

btw, merry christmas n happy new year to all.. thumbs up for engvid.. ;)

cheers,
Henny

p.s. could you please make a video on ‘ish’- i think i’ve heard it somewhere in american kids movie, but sorry i can’t remember any example for this. may be it’s a slang or expression..
hope u can help me out..

Bottom’s up friend! These videos make English learning a piece of cake. I don’t feel I am a couch potato watching this video in my PC.

AShok

Very good my friend … you really are doing a good job … 1 voluntary … you are the guy

michel1808

I beg to disagree about the Al bundy reference, he’s actually a shoe sales person, hes wife in the other hand only care about spending the money he brings home. She’s the couch potato.

Ana

sirhicham

can we use “out to lunch”to describe a drunk person???

nour zakaria

It’s not really used for that. It’s an expression we use to describe someone who is a little bit crazy.

engVid

Love you guys!! You’re the best! Thank you all for this site! Every lesson with you is a piece of cake!

Keila

Aw, you’re a peach!

Thanks a lot Jon!

seawayua

on question 2 or 3, my husband doesn’t do anyth…. and watchES TV.(my husband is still the subject and the verb takes an ‘S’ at the 3rd pers. sing. I think)
if the teacher starts to make mistakes, it is not good.

cat

it’s really a piece of cake.. i like it .

Mohamed

thanks alot,the lesson was a piece of cake

nadine

Jon, correct me if I am wrong, but someone told me that the meaning of “bottoms up” was bottom por “ass”, in spanish would be “culos para arriba”. Not bottoms of the things, would be bottons of the people. The best wishes

vincent

Despite I’m a little couch potato this lesson was a piece of cake.

olavolb

amarpreet

Hi Jon, I’m from Brazil, and for me was a great pleasure to find you came here in the past to teach English. I’l love to know in which city you lived here? Perdoe meus erros, pra mim é terrivel escrever em ingles, eu posso ler e compreender o que leio mas falar e escrever é muito dificil. I hope improve my English with engvid. Grande abraço.

Hi dear Jon
I was wondering why you are so sweet and you actually answered this question by stating that you’re a guy with a sweet tooth;)Jon I don’t know if you read this comment or not but in case that you do would you please explain the meaning of this gesture something you did after the word boob tube I’ve always wanted to ask a native about the meaning behind it, it’s very common among you,isn’t it? when I watch the lovely TED talks,by the way can I use this gesture before this phrase “lovely TED talks”!,I notice that the speakers use it several times, SORRY FOR SUCH A LONG COMMENT:(
