Time for a wee bit of slang! I know some teachers don’t like to teach slang, but the fact is a lot of English speakers use slang, so it’s important to learn some. And I think it’s fun to learn.
kick back – relax
After a hard day at work, I like to kick back and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate.
rock – to be great
You rock! (This is an expression a lot of people use. It means they are happy with what you just did or something you are about to do.)
goofed up – to mess up/make a mistake
I goofed up when I wrote a tweet today; I spelled a word wrong.
John – toliet
Hey, where’s the John?
catch some rays – to lay out in the sun and try to get a sun tan
After lunch, I’m going to the pool to catch some rays!
nuts – crazy
That guy just went swimming and it’s freezing outside. He’s nuts!
peeps – people/friends
I’m going to call up my peeps and see if they want to go to the movies.
umpteen – many
I asked my son umpteen times to please clean his room. (This is true!)
gut – stomach
Oh man, that guy just hit me in my gut!
Oh man – to be surprised about something
Oh man, I can’t believe I just lost that game.
Awesome, teacher!! I love this!! 😀 I actually knew most of them, but some I didn’t, so it’s always nice to learn something new 🙂
More slang, please!! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and for the comment! I’ll try to post more slang soon! See you on twitter!
