026 - Embarrassing Situations | ESL Podcast
Conversation
A: So what did you think about lunch yesterday?
B: The food was really good.
A: You know that’s not what I was talking about .
B: I was trying to avoid the subject but I guess you’re not going to let
me off that easily. I guess Megan overreacts sometimes.
A: Overreacts? She threw her drink right in my face and stormed out of
the restaurant. She made quite a scene over one innocent comment .
B: Well you shouldn’t have made fun of her ear rings.
A: Whose side are you on ?
B: I’m on your side, but I wouldn’t have said what you said, that’s all.
A: Fine, I admit the comment was a little rude, but she really crossed
the line . I hope you aren’t going to see her again.
B: I might.
A: In a word , Pathetic.
Key vocabulary and phrases that are discussed in the podcast:
You know that’s not what I was talking about:
This sentence is used to tell someone that the way they chose to answer
the question was not the type of answer you were hoping for. In this
case, they were talking about the girl’s behavior and not the lunch.
Avoid the subject:
If one person is trying to talk about something and you don’t want to talk
about it so you don’t answer their questions and keep trying to talk about
something else then you are “avoiding the subject”. People often try to
avoid subjects that they are uncomfortable talking about.
Let me off:
This phrase means to allow someone to not take responsibility for
something. You could say the policeman saw me driving too fast but he
let me off instead of giving me a ticket.
Stormed out:
This is talking about a person who leaves somewhere quickly, usually
because they are really angry. My girlfriend yelled at me yesterday and
stormed out of the house without saying where she was going.
Made quite a scene:
This is a useful way to describe someone who is doing something that
causes other people to look at them. Usually it’s a kind of bad behavior.
To make a scene you need to be either in a public place or a place with
several people around. If you start yelling at someone in a restaurant and
people notice you and watch, then you are making a scene.
Innocent comment:
A comment where you don’t intend to hurt anyone.
Whose side are you on?
If there is a disagreement between two people, you can ask this question
to someone else. It basically means to you agree with me or do you
agree with the other person. If they agree with you then they say that
they are on your side.
Crossed the line:
If somebody did something that is more than you can tolerate or said
something too offensive, then you could say they crossed the line. The
line is like someone’s boundary or the most they can handle, crossing the
line means that you went too far. It’s a bad thing.
In a word…:
This phrase is used to describe something simply, only using one word.
So you could say, the dinner last night was in a word, amazing.
