Hello my name is Riccardo and welcome back to SPIKA presents Get the Vocab
the show that teaches you English using TV series
in this season we're going to talk about the big bang theory
in every video we talk about the key word of a specific episode
remember to watch this video first and then watch the episode
and after that, you can come on our website and check out some cool stuff that we have for you!
but now let's get started with the Big Bang Theory!
So the first word we are going to see today is
Now, "propensity" is when youdo something, and you usually do it always in the same way, naturally
so you have a propensity for it, let me give you an example...
when we go out, Vanessa has the propensity for drinking too much!
<"Oh! Come on!">
this has two meanings
literally speaking, "to snap" means to break something in half
metaphorically speaking, it means to become reeeeeeally angry, very quickly!
So for example: "when Hulk SNAPS, Hulk smash!"
It just means when you're very worried about someone
"honey, I am so concerned about you!"
Don't worry honey! It's going to be alright!
Yeah! I forced her to do it!
Now, the "Pursuit" is the action of going after someone or something
and it's very common in the news so for example you will hear...
The PURSUIT of the police ended up last night, at nine o'clock
and the criminal has been found to have 9624 pounds of cocaine on him
Back to you, john
these are two physical problems that someone can have
a LIMP is when you can't walk normally because you have a problem with your leg
so you walk like this:
a LAZY EYE is when you can't see properly from one of your eyes
and you have it closed almost always like this
"to have a shot" means to have the possibility to succeed at something
even if it's a little bit difficult, like...
This describes the action of a person who tries to have "physical contact"
with another one who doesn't want to
if they try to hard, it's called "sexual harassment"
and you can go to jail for it, so watch out!!!
now this verb just means we are able to do something
or you can take care of a situation which is very difficult, for example
This verb means when something is in your destiny so it MUST happen
or when you must do something for example we're BOUND by law
to buy the TV shows Ithat we watch
but we all do, right? ;)
now this verb just means when you can't make a decision between two important things
for example I'm torn between either moving to London or to Miami Beach
no... not really!
to carve means to create something by cutting the surface
like a statue!
the tool used to do it is a "Chisel".
all right, so that was it for today
