Pimp Up your English Vocabulary – Slang Words

Hello everyone! Welcome to this English speaking lesson with me your teacher Michelle. In today’s English lesson I’m going to “pimp” your English vocabulary. This means that I’m going to make your Spoken English vocabulary quite fashionable by adding some impressive words that you’ll often hear the youth around you using.
1. Generation gap
Meaning: This is an age distance between older and younger people which causes the difference of opinion between these two age groups.
Example: Dad! You never understand me, probably it’s the generation gap showing up.
2. Grow up
Meaning: Grow up is a way to ask an adult whose acting childish to behave maturely. This is a phrasal verb which also means to slowly become an adult.
Example: I grew up in Scotland (= I lived in Scotland when I was young).
3. Frosted:
Meaning: This is used to refer to a person who’s wearing a lot of jewelry or accessories.
Example: You look frosted!
4. Flossing:
Meaning: If your friend is flossing he is not cleaning his gums but instead he is showing off his new car/gadgets. This word idiomatically means to “show off”.
5. Pre-Gaming:
Meaning: When your students are talking about pre-gaming they are not referring to a practice session before playing games. After all, who needs that? However they are actually referring to a “Drinking session” before they head for a night out.
6. Hench:
This word refers to a strong or fit man having well-developed muscles.
Example: There's nothing funnier than seeing a really hench guy walking a tiny dog.
7. Grimy
This word exactly means the best thing. If someone or something is described as the best thing, people think they are extremely good often more than they are in reality.
Example: The way he goes on about her , you'd think she was a grimy.
8. Mc Pee
Meaning: When someone approaches you and asks about a McPee. You help him by directing him towards the nearest café that has toilets. As with Mcpee this is when you go into McDonalds not to actually buy any food, but just to use the toilet.
9. Peng
Peng means an attractive person or delicious food.
Examples: Hi! I ate some peng food last night.
Words cannot describe how peng she is.
10. Snap
Meal especially food that is taken to work to be eaten during a break.
Example: I’ve lost my snap. Can I share with you?

Hi, I'm Tim and this is my pronunciation workshop. Here I'm gonna show you how English is really spoken. It'll help you become a better listener and a more fluent speaker. Come on, let's go inside.
Have you ever seen a ghost? No, of course you haven't, because they don't exist. But have you ever heard a sound that wasn't there? Well, if you've listened to lots of real English, you probably have. We asked the people of London what they think is the most important thing the government should prioritise. This is what they said:
Voxpops
I think law and order is important.
Yes, I think law and order is important.
Law and order is very important.
We all think that law and order is important.
I think law and order is very important.
Tim
Meet my boys. 'Law' and 'order'. Join them together with the word 'and' and you can hear another sound after the word 'law'. Listen out for it.
Voxpops
I think law and order is important.
Yes, I think law and order is important.
Law and order is very important.
We all think that law and order is important.
I think law and order is very important.
Tim
In fluent speech, if a word ends in an /ɔː/ sound, like law and the next word begins in an /ə/, you'll often hear a /r/ sound linking them together. Law-r-and order. Law-r-and order. 'Law-r-and order' is easier to say than 'law and order'. It flows better.
And this is called intrusion. Now this is a little bit controversial. It doesn't happen in all accents and some people do say it's not the proper way to speak. But it is something you will hear. Just remember the /r/ sound is not very strong. Here are some other examples:
Examples
Can you draw a circle freehand?
My dog hurt its paw on some broken glass.
There was a flaw in the argument.
I saw a good film last night.
Tim
Right, so you've heard the examples, now it's your turn. Are you ready to give it a try? Listen and repeat.
Examples
Can you draw a circle freehand?
My dog hurt its paw on some broken glass.
There was a flaw in the argument.
I saw a good film last night.
Tim
How did you do? Well done. Now, if you want to read more about this topic, please visit our website bbclearningenglish.com. That's it from the pronunciation workshop for this week. Bye.
Now, do you want a war or what? Ow!

TRANSCRIPT
Hello, I'm Mariam. Today's story was written as a play hundreds of years ago and is sometimes known as the Scottish play. It involves fighting, witches and a man called… Macbeth!
We begin with three cackling witches who are meeting Macbeth, a Scottish nobleman who's been out fighting in a great battle. The witches predict that he will become Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland and that the descendants of his friend Banquo, will become kings – what a prediction!
Banquo thinks this a joke but Macbeth is excited by the idea and guess what? Macbeth is actually made Thane of Cawdor by King Duncan, as a reward for his bravery. Macbeth's wife, Lady Macbeth, who's back at home, hears of the news and decides to set out to help him become King too by any means she can. Firstly, she persuades him to kill King Duncan. Macbeth does this by stabbing him in his sleep. Nobody else knows who committed this murder and so Macbeth is crowned King of Scotland.
So two out of the three witches' predictions have come true – but he's worried that the third prediction, about Banquo's descendants becoming kings, will also become true. So, cruelly, he attempts to kill his friend Banquo’s son. However, Banquo's son escapes.
Then Macbeth is haunted by Banquo's ghost and receives worrying predictions from the witches. Everything swirls around in his head and he is out of his mind with worry and fear that the truth about what he has done will get out.
Well I'd go mad if all that happened to me. Things go from bad to worse for Macbeth, as you'll find out if you join me again for part two of the story. See you again soon.
