- Hello everyone and welcome back to English With Lucy.

So I decided to make a video about expressions,

English expressions related to happiness.

Now if you're wondering why I'm so happy,

The channel's going well, I think we're just about to hit

The sun is coming out, the days are gonna

When you finish watching this video, please do

comment below and tell me something that's made you

happy recently, and if you want to use one of these

"Where is your 250,000 subscriber Q&A video with your dad?"

And the answer is, my dad is an extremely busy man,

it's been hard to get him and make him stay in one place.

So hopefully this week I'll be able to film it with him.

I'm still using all of the questions that you asked

Quickly before we get started, this video is going to help

It's gonna help your speaking because I'm going to

teach you new phrases or new expressions to use,

and it will improve your listening because you'll be able

to understand what natives mean when they use

these expressions, but if you want to take your listening

to the next level, don't forget to sign up to

Audible.com, I can offer you a free audio book

All you have to do is click on the link in the

description box and I've just found out that

you can listen to Sherlock Holmes read by Stephen Fry.

And if you don't know who Stephen Fry is, I'll see if I can

Stephen Fry, he's a comedian and he speaks with

a received pronunciation, so that could be

a really good one to download if you want to practise

The first expression relating to happiness is

And to be over the moon means to be really, really happy,

So, I can say that last Thursday, I passed my driving test

and I was over the moon because I had to try

three times, yes, that was my third test.

Yeah, I was completely over the moon because driving

is not something that has come naturally to me,

and it really bothered me for a long time that

I couldn't drive, but now I can, so I'm over the moon.

The next expression related to happiness is

And to have a whale of a time, well, you guess what

Let me use this one in an example and see if you can guess

Just a clue, it has nothing to do with whales.

So I went to a ball on Saturday, and a ball is like

a posh party, you normally have dinner, then you can dance.

I went to a ball on Saturday with a group of friends

Okay, so to have a whale of a time means to have

Now the next one, number three is actually

a slang expression, but I think it's really important

Now, if you say, "I'm buzzing," it means I'm really

exhilarated, really enthusiastic, really happy,

So it means I've got positive emotions in my body,

So I could say, "I've just booked my tickets for (foreign),"

which I seem to mention all the time, but I am buzzing.

So that is a perfect situation, a perfect example of

the word buzzing, because I literally am buzzing.

Okay, number four is to be happy as Larry.

It doesn't matter, cuz it's not relevant.

I'm sure one of you will Google the etymology of

happy as Larry and find out, but to be happy as Larry
