Today we have another episode of my fabulous

5 Common British Expressions

Now, before we get started

Make sure you connect with me on all my social media which is right here

And, I've got my Instagram account, obviously you can subscribe to my Youtube

You can also like me on Facebook

And, for my Chinese followers I have my Weibo account aswell

Ok so our first expression is 'a piece of cake'

And this is very similar to 'easy peasy lemon squeezy'

which we've discussed in a previous video

And basically, it means very easy

So I might come out of a particularly easy exam saying:

"That exam was a piece of cake."

"That exam was really easy."

So, number two, 'break a leg'

Actually looks really rather cruel

But, I promise you it's positive

And, 'break a leg' means 'good luck'

So, before a race, before a job interview, before a test...

Instead of saying 'good luck' I might say break a leg

do really well

So, since we're talking about legs, let's bring arms into the equation as well

Number 3 is it cost an arm and a leg

And this basically means something was really expensive

If I say my bag cost an arm and a leg

I mean

it cost a lot of money

Now, the next one isn't particularly nice

It is 'to pop one's clogs'

And this actually means 'to die'

But we use it quite affectionately, it's like a nice way of saying that someone's died

So, I'm going to a funeral this Sunday

My neighbour's popped his clogs

It's a way of saying 'my neighbour's died'

But we don't want to say the 'death' word

So we say they've popped their clogs

And then we have number 5

To call it a day, and this means to end a task

So for example "I'm feeling a bit tired"

"I think I'll call it a day"

And that means "I think I'll stop here, let's finish"

So, well, as we've come to number 5

I think I'll call it a day now!

Bye!
