Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 111. The verb phrase today is to
pucker up. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If someone puckers up he or
she squeezes one's lips together in preparation for a kiss. You know (mmm) kind
of like that. We also say someone puckers up their lips when tasting something
sour. You know a very sour taste you might pucker up as well. All right. Let's
continue here. So if you pucker up, you squeeze your lips together and out. So
(mmm) kind of like that. All right. So let's look at several examples here. Example
number one. In the movies you see actors pucker up
in preparation for a kiss. Yeah they, they also want to emphasize it in the movies.
I mean in real life not everybody puckers up all the time but in the movie
sometimes you do (mmm). You see them doing that. So but in real have you might
pucker up too, but you know probably most kisses are not actually puckering up.
Number two. He puckered up and tried to kiss to me. I was able to dodge him. Like
move out of the way and make some excuse why I didn't feel well. Yeah. This is probably
some woman. Maybe the guy was trying to sneak in a kiss at her and you know she
wasn't interested. So was just trying to avoid him. So maybe she might say
something like this. Yes basically. Or number three here. The taste of that sour
lemon made me pucker up...taste of that sour lemon... No. Made him pucker up
his lips. So again so with sour taste mmm-hmm
Something like that. From a sour taste. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it was
clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
