birds. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here.

If someone says something is for the birds, he or she means that something is

stupid , worthless, or completely undesirable. Okay. Let's take a look...

Continue here. The origin of this term comes from the idea that birds used to

eat seeds that were often left in horse poo poo. Remember before cars became

ubiquitous. Ubiquitous means you know, everywhere all over the place. There was

a lot of horse poo poo on the streets. Yeah. So of course you know, horses were

the main form of transportation at one time. So just like they say here. People

could observe birds picking out the seeds. So they can actually see them land at

the horse poo poo you know , maybe they were thinking what are you doing ? That's

poo poo. You shouldn't be eating that. But of course, the birds went down there. Yeah.

They thought may you know, pretty good. Why not ? So they've got some free seeds.

Okay. So it originally started out as a more

vulgar term. You know, so people used to actually say shit for the birds. So

that's not so nice . That's why I've been trying to say poo poo. Because poo poo

is not so vulgar. Now we only say something is for the birds. So that's the

way we usually use it or something is strictly for the birds. Like strictly means

like limited just to the birds. You know, that's just for them. Nobody else

would want that. So again, remember if something is for the birds,

it's either stupid, worthless, or completely undesirable. Yeah. Regular

people they don't really want the horse poop. That's very undesirable. Okay. So

let's, let's look at some examples here. Example number one. Watching that soap

opera is for the birds. It is a complete waste of time. Yeah. This person probably

feels like it's stupid or maybe they might even feel

that it's kind of worthless to watch it. You're not gaining too much value from

it. Or number two here. Collecting bottle caps is for the birds. They will never

have any real value. So if you wanted it to ever sell it to another collector...

Bottle caps there's not many out. They're not going to pay much. If they pay

anything. If you are going to collect something. You should collect something

that will grow in value. So again when they say you know, this is for the birds,

they probably really here definitely mean worthless. You know, what's the point ?

No need to do it. Okay. Let's look at the last one. Playing that violent video game

because you know, maybe there are some good video games. Maybe there are some

educational video games. Well playing that violent video game is for the birds.

It will only corrupt your mind. So this is one way you might think it's

completely undesirable. This is something you shouldn't do. Maybe it will affect

you in a negative way or affect your your thinking or your emotions in a

negative way. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your

time. Bye-bye.
