Let's continue our practice. We're going to create conversations using this idiom. Here we go. Alright, first step, let's talk about this picture. Okay, so we see two people, Yvette and john. And we can see John's face.

He's turned around. Yvette is looking right at us. She's looking right at the camera, right? So they're hugging each other looks like I don't know, your vet kind of has a calm expression on her face. We're not really sure what John's expression is. JOHN has on a dark blue t shirt in your bed and has a red or dark pink shirt which is sleeveless it's not covering her arms up.

It has long hair, long blonde hair, on his short brown hair. And they're embracing they're hugging each other. Looks like they're sitting on the ground, and there's long grass in front behind is blurry. What I would say there's some trees So we just described the picture, right? Let's see what they're talking about. Right?

So you vet starts the conversation first. She says, Oh, hold me, baby. I need one last hug. Before I break up with you. JOHN, come again. I'm sorry.

I was watching in Buffalo. Eat some grass that I'm breaking up with you. I've found someone who has a nicer Ferrari. JOHN Ha. joke's on you. I just bought An awesome Lamborghini.

Alright, let's look through now we're going to find the idioms first make them bold. break up with you. make it bold. I'm breaking up with you. make it bold. Okay, now I'm gonna say their conversation regular speed.

I'm just looking to make sure Have I made any typing mistakes. Looks pretty good. Okay, follow along. Here we go. Give it hold me baby. I need one last hug before I break up with you.

JOHN, come again. I'm sorry. I was watching in Buffalo eat some grass. You bet. I'm breaking up with you. I found someone who has a nicer Ferrari.

Done. Ah, the joke's on you. I just bought an awesome Lamborghini. All right. So that is the first one to use. The idiom, you said, I need one last hug before I break up with you.

So her intentions are to break up with john. And the relationship split up with him. So she could say, I need one last time before I split up with you. Right? It says it again because john didn't hear the first time or didn't understand. I'm breaking up with you.

I'm leaving you. I'm dumping you. I'm ending our relationship. I'm splitting up with you. I'm breaking up with you. All right.

So I need one last hug. Hug is what they're doing right now. When you have your arms around someone, you give them a hug, you embrace them. Another word for a hug is an embrace. Right and embrace. Right.

JOHN, after Yvette says the first part of the conversation, he says, Come again. Huh, come again. Another way to say just say, Come again. We'll be like, What? What did you say? Oh, you could also say, Please repeat that.

Or you could just say I didn't hear you, right? Those are all different ways to say come again. Right? So he was watching a buffalo eat some graphs, we check out what is a buffalo? I think that's a great idea. Let's go to the image search.

We'll put in Buffalo. See what we find? Well, a buffalo is an animal. I think of Buffalo I think of this one. There's also this one. This is like a water buffalo.

But he just said buffalo. So we're going to go with that one. In other words from Buffalo is actually bison. I think it's more common to use buffalo at least where I grew up, but these are two words that are saying bison and buffalo. So we have a picture of a buffalo, I would say it's a very unique animal has a big, big old head and two horns coming out. So yeah, they're quite big and I guess they can run very fast and jump very high too.

So that is a buffalo. So go back to the conversation. JOHN said, Come again. I'm sorry. I was watching a buffalo eat some grass. So I guess often the distance somewhere there's some buffalo eating some grass.

And Yvette says, she repeats what she was saying. I'm breaking up with you. I found someone who has a nicer Ferrari. And I'm going to guess that you guys know what a Ferrari is. But hey, we have the time. Why don't we look it up?

See what a Ferrari looks like. All right, whoo. I like it. Ferrari. This is a very, very nice car. Expensive Now this one's a Ferrari 458 spider.

Fast, hot, sexy car. Alright, so this is a Ferrari. And according to your event, she's breaking up with john because she found someone else who has a nicer Ferrari. A more beautiful Ferrari, a cooler Ferrari. But john says ha, the joke's on you, huh? Oh, what does it mean that joke's on you?

It means you're the one who's fooled. You're the one who's making the mistake. You're the one who is tricked, or you're the one who doesn't understand the situation. Probably a good one. You're the one who doesn't understand the situation. So someone says half the joke's on you.

You might have been trying to joke with them or play a trick on them or I don't know. But they say ha joke's on you. So actually, you're the one who doesn't understand the situation. So you event she, she surprises Jerry, you know, they're hugging. They're having a nice date. She says, Okay, I'm breaking up with you.

And when john finally understands what he's saying, and understands why she's breaking up with him, because someone else has a nicer car or a nicer Ferrari, he says, ha, the joke's on you. As in I have more information that you didn't know, right? And if she knew this information, you're the one who doesn't understand the situation. If she knew the information, maybe she wouldn't want to break with break up with him. And what is information? Well, john, has an awesome Lamborghini.

I think we just have to see a picture of this wonderful car. So here's the Ferrari. And if we go and we type in Lamborghini, oh, it's very nice. Let's look at a red one as well. It's a luxury sports car. And it's a Lamborghini.

Really fast, really expensive. Right? So, I guess your bet is into fast cars or men with fast cars. So she thought someone else had a better Ferrari than john. Turns out John's not worried at all, because he's getting a new Lamborghini. Mm hmm.

All right. So the relationship between Yvette and john is possible that you could say, Oh, I'm sorry. I was just joking. I don't really want to break up with you. Now that you have a new car, I want to stay with you. Alright, so let's move ahead and make another conversation who looks juicy.

And I would say let's talk about the picture. Nice. Okay. On the top, we have a heart, and it's broken into two. And there are texts, there are phones, and people are holding the phones, it looks like they're making emotions of you know, texting to each other, sending a message to each other. And I would say it has something to do with a broken heart.

And down here we have Frank and we have Tina. And we can say that this part of the screen is divided up into sections, right? We have one section two section three sections, right? And Frank and Tina are texting each other. Right? They're not together.

They're not in the same location. Frank by the background and then location, the table. I would say he's maybe in his office or at work as possible. And he's holding his phone, bring his glasses. He has a nice business business suit on with like a purple or a dark red tie. And he has glasses on with kind of gray and maybe dark brown here.

He has a beard he has it looks like he hasn't shaved in a while. Tina, I would say she's outside and she looks quite a bit younger. Congressman Frank Frank our guest He's like, oh 50 we'll just say 55 Why not? and Tina I would guess she's like 17 or 18 are quite young. But Tina, it looks like she's standing outside the background is blurry, but it looks like we can see maybe a tree. Maybe a building, not sure.

He is looking at her phone and she's holding her phone with two hands is wearing a white jacket. It looks like it has some bird might be real for or fake animal fur on the on the, on the hood or on the collar. Maybe she has long, blonde, long brown hair, and it's quite long goes all the way down to her elbows are right. And he looks focused. They both look focused on the conversation texting with each other. Right?

So what are we here for? We're here to see what their conversation is about. And it's a text conversation, right? So they're not actually speaking with each other, directly hearing each other's voices, but they're having a coffee With text which is so common, right, there we go, Frank. Oh, honey baby. I'm so in love with you.

I will never break up with you. Tina. Is this spring? This is Tina. Mom's not here. I am borrowing her phone prank.

Oh, sorry. And you pass my true low on to your mom. She's so hot. Tina, you gross. I have bad news. Mom's breaking up with you tomorrow.

Right, let me fix a couple of things. All right, let's find the idioms break up with you is the first one. And the last one breaking up with you. Okay? This is a unique situation. We have two people that are talking via text message.

So they're having a text conversation. And when Frank sends the message, he thinks that he is talking to Tina's mom, his girlfriend, right? But he starts by saying, Oh, honey, baby, I'm so in love with you. I will never break up with you. Right? So he is saying, I will stay with you.

I will never break up with you. Our relationship will be strong forever, will continue on and on and I'll never break up with you. either use this idiom at the end of the conversation. She says, mom's breaking up with you tomorrow. It could have said moms don't You tomorrow. Moms splitting up with you tomorrow.

Mom's ending your relationship tomorrow. Right? There are different ways to say the idiom, though. Frank starts Oh honey, baby. Honey baby is what you call a term of endearment. It's just a way of communicating with someone.

It's like a special name for someone. Honey baby. Sugar blossom, sugar, puddle, bumpkin, baby. Just an extra name that you come up with someone to express your feelings for them. So we could have said, Oh, honey, baby, or sweetie. Oh my love something like that.

It's a term of endearment which means you have good feelings, warm loving feelings towards someone. So I'm so in love with you. I will never break up with you. And here's where the situation gets a little bit awkward. Turns out, it's not Frank's girlfriend on the phone. It's Frank's girlfriend's daughter, Tina.

So Tina's like, is this prank. Well, this is Tina. Mom's not here. I'm borrowing her phone. So borrowing means that Tina's mom lent the phone to Tina. In his mom was allowing Tina to use it right?

Maybe they have an agreement that in his mom said, you can borrow my phone for a while while I'm at work because I won't need it or something like that. I'm borrowing she could just say I'm using her phone. That's another option. Brain or sorry, and you pass my true low onto your mom. Two things we're going to talk about here. First true love is just like real love.

Deep love. deep love is probably a good best one deep flow or a Kind of love, like deep passion or something like that. Right? And then true love was inside another phrase. Pass my true love on to your mom. Well, the phrase is the pass something on to someone else.

Right? And it could be something physical, it can be like Could you please pass the money on to someone else could you pass ignore that one as my good feelings onto someone else, it just means to share something or communicate with some thing them communicate with someone, something that I'm telling them right now. So Frank wants Tina to communicate to her mom that he just loves her. He thinks she's so wonderful. So he says can you perish my true love onto your mom? He could have said Can you communicate that I really love your mom?

Something like that. He just wants Tina to be the way that his message goes through that. He shares his love. Okay, and Tina, I think she has a very good reaction. You gross. Gross means like, dirty, unpleasant.

If you see like a big pile of dog poop on the ground, you might say you gross, it's nasty. And that's nasty. That's horrible. That's despicable. Right Stuff like that. You despicable you that's nasty you that's gross and She ends the conversation by kind of bringing bad news.

And what is bad news information that we don't want to hear someone gives us bad news. We don't want to hear it. But the bad news is that Tina's mom is breaking up with Frank tomorrow. So it doesn't look like they're gonna be together very long, much longer. All right. When I was looking at this situation, I would think that Frank, we would be a little bit embarrassed that he had sent.

I'm so in love with you, honey, baby to Tina. But it turns out, Frank is more focused on his love than on worrying that, you know, might make Tina feel uncomfortable to receive these kind of messages from Frank. Either way, it looks like the end is not going to be so good for Frank. He's going to lose his girlfriend, and Tina is probably going to think Frank is weird. All right, so we just finished our practice. I think we're going to be moving on to review Well, I'm so excited.

Here we go.
