We Speak. I'm Feifei.

And I'm Roy! I'm glad you're here, Feifei.

I'm really upset! Rob just sent me an email

saying 'thanks for all my hard work

and that I was a goat!'

I think that email was intended for me - for

I am the GOAT. It makes me very happy

when people call me that!

You like being called a goat?

No, Roy. GOAT is an acronym for

the 'Greatest Of All Time'. That's why

that email was meant for me.

Ahhh that makes more sense

about why Rob would call me a GOAT,

because I did bake him over

a thousand biscuits.

Well, I'll buy him 2000 biscuits

from the shop and then we'll see

who Rob thinks is the GOAT.

Clearly everyone thinks it's me.

You're very competitive, Feifei!

Plus, I baked, not bought the biscuits.

Let's calm down while we

listen to some examples.

That footballer is truly amazing.

Every ball she touches ends in

a goal. She's the GOAT!

Have you seen the new film in

the Pelican series? The special effects,

story and acting are all perfect.

It's the GOAT.

My friend said that Ed Sheeran is

the GOAT, but I'm not sure I agree.

He's not my favourite artist.

This is The English We Speak from

BBC Learning English, and we're

talking about the expression 'GOAT'.

'GOAT' is short for 'greatest of all time'

and is used to talk about things or

people that we think are the best.

Yes, for example footballers or other

sports stars who you think are

number 1. You can call them the GOAT.

It can be a way to express your opinion.

You can even use it for video games or films.

For example, the film that I think

is the GOAT is ...

Don't even finish that sentence, Roy!

No film that you like could be considered

good - let alone the GOAT.

Right - well, at least Rob thinks that

I'm the GOAT. I'll go and say thanks

to him for his kind email!

OK Roy, bye!

Bye!
