Key vocabulary and phrases that are discussed in the podcast:
Firefox – A popular web browser. Web browsers are the programs you
use to surf the internet. “Internet explorer” is another popular web
browser. “Netscape” is another one
Anti-virus software – When you are using the internet there are so
many viruses out there that can ruin your computer. You need to install
anti-virus software to avoid getting the viruses.
Good move – This is another common phrase that is often used
sarcastically. If someone does something stupid, you can tease them by
saying “good move”. They will know that you don’t mean it. It’s just for
fun. For example, if you close the door behind you and realize that you
brought the wrong key so now you can’t get in. Someone could say to
you, “good move”.
Pics – A common short-form for “pictures”
Fell for that – If someone tries to trick you and they succeed, it means
you fell for their trick. If you get tricked by something really silly where
you should have not made the mistake, you might think to yourself, “how
could I fall for that?”
Have fun reformatting your computer – If you can’t get rid of a
computer virus, sometimes its best to reformat your computer. It means
you need to erase everything on your hard drive and start again. It’s an
annoying process for most people. Here we say, “have fun” because we
are making fun of the person again. Of course it won’t be fun.
Nice try – Another commonly used phrase. We use it sarcastically again.
If someone tries to trick you or get you to do something you don’t want to
do, and you don’t fall for their trick, then you can say, “nice try”. Its kind
of like saying, “there is no chance you could trick me with that”.
