Hello and welcome to Eat Sleep Nightmare English. We're going to be taking you through five super scary idioms. "To ghost someone" is to end a romantic relationship suddenly and without telling the other person; basically, you stop calling them. - That sounds mean. - It's terribly mean. But why would someone do that? - Maybe they are scared of commitment. - A commitment-phobe, if you will. Hm, or maybe they found someone else. - Someone better. - Someone better. Have you ever ghosted anyone? No, I prefer to break up with people in person so I can watch the tears fall down their cheeks. - And lick their tears? - Yes, and lick their tears. If you say you "could murder (something)", it means you really want this thing. This usually refers to food or drink. On a summer's day you might say, "I could murder a cold glass of Coca Cola." Or any other name-brand beverage. Is there anything you want right now? - Yes, I could murder a pint. - Me, too. Another phrase that we use that's very similar to this is "I'm dying for (something)". It means you really want this. The difference is we can use it for more than just food and drink. For example, "I'm dying for the loo." That's not what you said in rehearsal. You said I was dying for a ****. I... I... I did not. Anyway, we don't use that kind of profanity on Eat Sleep Dream English. What, you mean, like, you don't say ****? Our fourth idiom refers to pain. If you say "(something) is killing you", it means it's causing you physical or emotional pain. For example, after a long walk, you might say, "My feet are killing me," this means they are causing you pain. Yes, or if you have a headache you could say, "My head is killing me." Is it literally killing you? Is it ending your life? - No, it's an idiom. - I'm not an idiot. - An idiom, not an idiot. - You're the idiot. Our final word is "gutted". This is an informal adjective which means "very disappointed". For example, if you fail a test or if your team loses in a sports match, you might be gutted. - When was the last time you felt gutted? - When **** died in "Game of Thrones". Oh, yes just like when **** dies in the "Walking Dead". - Thank you for watching, now watch our other video. - Thank you for watching, now watch our other video.
