• Ted, I’ve been trying to tell you this for years.

• I’ve gone a lifetime without bacon to make up for.

• I will keep eating and eating and eating.

• Oh, God, help me. I’m going down.

• And that’s the first and last time I ever ate bacon.

• At the Farhampton lnn, we don’t cook with grease.

• Our menu is organic.

Narrator:

Inn: A traditional store of hotel.

Grease: Animal for that is produced by heating meat.

You can use grease for cooking.

Organic: When we say a food is organic we mean that it has been grown or made without the use of pesticides, artificial chemicals or industrial methods.

Example: Organic vegetables are much tastier than the ones you get from the supermarket.

• Farm to table = farm-tuh table.

• Farm to table, locally grown.

• No “grease”.

Narrator:

Farm to table: A farm is a piece of land used for growing plant products or raising animals.

The term “farm to table” refers to food going from the farm where it’s been produced, straight to one’s dining table.

This is in opposition to the more conventional industrial method which requires food to go through many other stages.

• Sir, I am from Minnesota.

• Where every meal is cooked with grease.

Narrator:

Minnesota: An American State in the Midwest, famous for their traditional values and way of life.

• And my father dubbed that food the tastiest eats in the whole gosh darn world, so…

Narrator:

Dub: To give somebody or something a particular name, often in a humorous or critical way.

Example: The media dubbed Madonna the queen of pop.

Tastiest eats: Tasty means delicious. Eats, as a noun, is slang meaning food.

Example: Let’s grab some eats at that diner before the concert.

The whole gosh darn world! :

We commonly say that something is the best thing in the world.

This phrase as it is already implies emphasis, but we can add some more by saying “in the whole world.”

Marshall here goes even further by adding “gosh darn”.

These are both more polite alternative words that one might use around children. Gosh is a lighter word for “God” and darn for “damn”.

• And how is your father’s health? = An how-wizyur father’s health?

• Point is, it tastes really good.

The point is: We use this phase as an introduction to a conclusion or most important part of what we’re saying.

As Marshall does here, we may sometimes omit “the” and just say “point is…”

Example: Point is ,besides exercising you also need to improve your diet if you want to lose weight.

Also, pay attention to the pronunciation of this phrase.

The NT sound becomes an N and links to “is”.

• Point is = poy-niz.

Learn about native connected speech in a video we made by clicking at the top-right corner.

• Also, uh, we need it to help a friend recover from a hangover.

Narrator:

Hangover: The resulting sick feeling from drinking too much alcohol.

Example: Last night was fun, but today I woke up with a hung hangover.

• There’s bacon right here.

• And where there’s bacon, there’s bacon grease.

Narrator:

Bacon: A type of meat from a pig that is salted and dried or smoked (with different types of woods, for example, Applewood, to add flavor).

It is a popular breakfast item in the United States.

• And we aren’t making any more bacon today.

• Not unless it all somehow gets eaten in the ten minutes before breakfast is over.

Narrator:

Unless: Used to say what will happen if something else does not happen.

Example: Unless you study hard, you won’t pass the exam.

Somehow: In a way that is not known or certain.

Example: He somehow will find a way to make the money he needs.

• A mountain of food. A ticking clock?

• Come on! You live for this stuff!

Narrator:

A mountain of (something): A huge quantity of something.

Example: I would do it, but I’ve got a mountain of homework.

Ticking clock: Ticking refers to the sound a clock makes as each second passes.

But when we talk about a ticking clock, we mean that the time available to do something is finishing, and therefore you must hurry.

You live for this stuff: Ted used this expression to mean that Marshall finds these types of challenges exciting and pleasing.

You can say this to talk about something that you really enjoy.

Example: You’re wondering if I’d like to go on a road trip across Europe? Of course I would. I like for this stuff.

Narrator: Alright, so you just learned the expression “to live for something”.

Now, tell me, what do you live for?

I will be correcting of your examples, your sentences down in the comments below so pause this video real quick, go and practice your English and then we’ll get back into the lesson.

• I’m a Colombia-educated lawyer.

Narrator:

Colombia-Educated:

We can use the name of a university (especially a famous one) plus “educated” to create an adjective describing where someone received their degree.

For example, I could say, “I am a University of Colorado-educated teacher.”

Colombia - Educated: Colombia is a famous private university in Manhattan.

• Poised to become = poiz-duh become.

• Poised to become a judge before age 35.

Narrator:

Poised (to do something):

Completely ready for something or to do something.

Example: That team is poised to win the championship.

• And remind me…

Narrator:

Remind someone (of something): If something reminds you of something it makes you remember it.

Example: Can you remind me what exactly the recipe for this dish is?

• How did you celebrate? = how dih-dew celebrate.

• And remind me, how did you celebrate getting accepted into Colombia?

• You eat one eight-pound block of fudge in 12 minutes and you’re marked for life.

Narrator:

Fudge: A soft, Sweet American candy made by heating milk, butter, and sugar.

Marked for (something): Infamous or remembered (in a negative way) for something.

Example: I feel like I’ve been marked for life for misunderstanding the American during that meeting.

• I’m out, okay? You eat the bacon.

• You know I can’t. I’m allergic.

Narrator:

I’m out: We say this when we no longer want to participate in something.

Allergic: Unable to eat something because it causes a negative reaction in your body. We can also say, “to have an allergy.”

Example: I have an allergy to shellfish.

• Your bacon allergy is a lie your mother made up so you’d eat healthy as a kid.

• Make up: Something we have invented or fabricated.

Example: I made up an excuse for why I was late.

• No, I’m just allergic to a lot of stuff.

• Bacon, donuts, Halloween candy.

Narrator:

Donut: Cake made from sweet dough that has been shaped in a ring and cooked in hot fat.

Halloween candy: During the holiday of Halloween in the United States, children dress up in costumes and go to the houses in their neighborhood and ask for candy.

Children eat many sweets during this holiday.

• I don’t even know if I’ll like bacon. = i don-even know if I’ll like bacon.

• How could you, Mom?!

Narrator:

How could you…? : Used to ask someone about something disappointed they did to you.

Example: You watched Game of Thrones without me? How could you!?

• Yeah, they, uh, crisp it up real nice here Don’t they?

Narrator:

Crisp it up: Most people believe bacon tastes best when it is cooked until it is crispy, that is, slightly hard when you bite it.

Marshall invented a phrasal verb to say that they make the bacon good and crispy at this hotel.

• You know what, Ted, you’ve been going at it real hard.

Narrator:

Going at it real hard / Take it easy: To go at something really hard is to do it in an intense way.

On the other hand, to take it easy means to relax.

Example: You have been going at it hard with your training. You better take it easy and rest before starting to exercise again.

• Why don’t you take a breather and I’ll drive us home.

Take a breath (or breather): To take a short period of time to rest regain energy. We can also use the term “breather.”

Example: Guys, I’m exhausted, I need a breather before we continue the game.

I’ll drive us home: Here Marshall does mean to literally drive them home, but rather, to finish the task.

Example: If you can get dinner started by chopping everything then I’ll drive us home by cooking it up.

• I finally found the one, Marshall.

• Her name is Bacon.

• You know, this would go great on one of my mom’s LT sandwiches.

Narrator:

This would go great on one of my mom’s LT sandwiches: This refers to a famous sandwich in the USA called a BLT, which stands for Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato.

The joke here is that because Ted’s mom told him he was allergic to bacon, she just made him Lettuce and Tomato (LT) Sandwiches, which we can imagine would be rather bland without the bacon.

• You have got to take it easy = you gotta tay-ki-deezy.

• Never!

• I’ve gone a lifetime without bacon to make up for.

Narrator:

Lifetime: The length of time that someone is alive.
