Deadpool

A hush falls over the crowd as rookie sensation Wade W. Wilson out of Regina, Saskatchewan, lines up the shot.

His form looks good.

Oh! And that’s why Regina rhymes with fun.

Ladies and gentlemen, what you’re witnessing is sweet dick-kicking revenge.

Oh! Giving him the business.

Incoming!

This is taking unsportsmanlike conduct to a whole new level!

Looking good, Francis. Well rested.

Like you’ve been pitching, not catching.

Ringing any bells? No?

How about now?

Wade fucking Wilson.

Well, hello, gorgeous.

Yeah, like I got bit by a radioactive Shar-Pei.

Yeah. And whose fault is that, huh, Francis?

Yeah, time to undo what you did to this butterface.

Please, you should thank me.

Apparently, I made you immortal.

I’m actually quite jealous.

Yeah, but this ain’t a life worth living, is it?

Now, I’m about to do to you what Limp Bizkit did to music in the late 90s.

Dad?

I think we can all agree that shit just went sideways in the most colossal way.

A hush falls over the crowd as rookie sensation Wade W. Wilson out of Regina, Saskatchewan, lines up the shot.

As a verb, to hush someone means to tell them to be quiet.

We also often say shush.

However, think of a hush (noun) as a sudden silence.

If a hush falls over the crowd, it suddenly stops cheering or making noise

because something important is about to happen in a game, for example.

Watch this funny example, where the collection falls over is also used:

A hush falls over the crowd as Cooper studies the board.

Let’s give this clip another watch because there’s so much more to uncover:

A hush falls over the crowd as rookie sensation Wade W. Wilson

Out of Regina, Saskatchewan, lines up the shot.

A rookie is a person that’s new to a job or an activity.

In sports, rookie are even recognized as the rookie of the year, rewarding young talented players in their first year as a professional player.

Deadpool is acting in this situation as if he’s player of Canadian football.

At least that’s what we can assume because Deadpool is actually Canadian.

He says he’s out of Regina, Saskatchewan.

This is another way to say he’s from that place.

Finally, he says:

Lines up the shot.

This phrase could actually apply to many sports that involve a ball.

A shot is a kick, hit, or throw of the ball.

When you line up a shot, you get ready to take aim or to take the shot.

Can you say this phrase the way he says it?

He says,” Lines up the shot. “

Lines up the shot.

With phrasal verbs it’s important to know that the verb and its particle are usually said as one word, no matter the conjugation.

So, we’d say:

Lines up the shot. Li-nup the shot.

Line-zup the shot.

Line-zup the shot.

Now, don’t confuse shot (noun) with shoot (verb) because they’re pronounced differently.

Let’s see if you can recognize the vowel sound in shot.

Which of these words doesn’t have the same vowel sound as shot?

His form looks good.

In sports, form refers to how a player sets his posture and he moves to hit the ball.

As you can see here, this is a demonstration of how your form should look if you want to hit a golf ball.

Or in a completely different discipline, at the gym, form refers to how you should move when training with weights.

So, this is bad form and this is good form.

Ladies and gentlemen, what you’re witnessing is sweet dick-kicking revenge.

Oh! Giving him the business.

Incoming!

To witness means to see something happen such as an accident or crime.

We also use it in a more general sense to mean to see a particular event or action take place.

Darkness returns, Asgardian.

Have you come to witness the end of your universe?

I’ve come to accept your surrender.

Ladies and gentlemen, what you’re witnessing is sweet dick-kicking revenge.

Sweet revenge is a collection which means that there’s pleasure in getting revenge.

See how they use this word in this funny clip.

So, I’m saying that I wanna be on the team.

Has it got a name?

Yeah, it’s called the Revengers.

Revengers?

Because I’m getting revenge.

You’re getting revenge.

Do you want revenge?

I’m undecided.

If you’ve watched Deadpool, then you’d know that he swears a lot.

Ass- kicking is already inappropriate language, but he makes even more inappropriate comments citing the male’s private area:

Sweet dick-kicking revenge.

Oh! Giving him the business.

Incoming!

So, what this means is that he’s kicking his ass or beating him up.

To give someone the business is just another way to say the same thing.

This is also common in sports such as American football.

Then, if something is incoming, it is coming.

Like an incoming call.

Boss, incoming call from Miss Potts.

Or someone who’s coming.

Gentlemen, this is Laura.

I know all of your names.

Ooh, Incoming.

Dad!

Hi, sweetheart!

Hey, buddy!

This is taking unsportsmanlike conduct to a whole new level!

In sports people often talk about sportsmanship or sportsmanlike conduct.

If a player shows this sportsmanship, they behave in a way that is fair and shows respect towards the other players when playing sport.

To express the opposite, we say unsportsmanlike conduct.

Deadpool then uses an interesting collocation:

“To take something to a whole new level.”

This means to change a situation drastically.

Every Halloween, we have the best house.

Last year, I took thing to a whole new level, but apparently it was too scary for some kids.

And one adult.

In these two next examples, you’ll also see whole new level but used a bit differently.

I’ve moved on to the next one, because that’s what we do, right?

I mean, that’s the job.

But this?

This is whole new level of weird.

I’ve seen her do a lot of crazy stuff, but this is a whole new level.

Looking good, Francis. Well rested.

Like you’ve been pitching, not catching.

Ringing any bells? No?

If something rings a bell, it sounds familiar.

Example:

I don’t know him, but his name rings a bell.

At this point into the clip, you get the sense that Deadpool is a sports fan because now he’s referring to baseball.

Pitching and catching are both moves in this sport.

However, here he’s probably giving this expression a sexual connotation.

Yeah, time to undo what you did to this butterface.

Please, you should thank me.

To undo means to reverse the effects of an action.

He’s referring to the damage done to his face.

Undo the damage is actually a collection.

Thor must strive to undo the damage you have done.

He will bring order to the Nine Realms and then, yes…

He will be king.

My king, we would ask that you end Thor’s banishment.

My first command cannot be to undo the Allfather’s last.

Butterface is used to refer to a girl, although as used in this clip.

Deadpool describes himself as a butterface.

Generally, however, this word is a derogatory way to describe a woman whose body is attractive but whose face is less so.

It’s actually a play on words as it sounds like but her face.

Please, you should thank me.

Apparently, I made you immortal.

I’m actually quite jealous.

If someone is jealous, they feel unhappy because someone has something that they wish they had.

This is real!

I’m only half human, remember?

That’s the half I’m worried about.

Oh, I get it.

You’re jealous because I’m part-god, and you like when I’m the weak one.

You were insufferable to begin with.

Where do you want to be?

Where are you going?

What’re you talking about?

I meant me.

You have a big gun.

You are not the big gun.

Tony, don’t be jealous.

No, it’s subtle, all the bells and whistles.

Yeah.

It’s called being a badass.

Apparently, I made you immortal.

I’m actually quite jealous.

Yeah, but this ain’t a life worth living, is it?

If something is worth doing, it is a good idea even though it might be expensive, or it might take effort, time, ect.

Example:

A lot of the small towns in the area are definitely worth visiting.

Why are you wasting your time trying to talk to a man…

Who threw away your investment on some save-the-world vanity project?

He can’t get your money back. I can.

I could try explaining that a save-the-world project, vain or not…

is worth investigating in, Mr. Daggett.

Well, my mother always told me that anything in life worth having would take sacrifice…

Mmm-hmm.

Patience.

I think we can all agree that shit just went sideways in the most colossal way.

If a situation goes sideways, it means it goes wrong.

If this thing goes sideways, you don’t just get burned.

You go to prison.

And there’s nothing we can do to get you out.

Colossal means extremely big or huge.

This is a play on words because this character is called Colossus.

You’ve been warned before, Deadpool.

This is a shameful and reckless use of your powers.

You will both be coming with us.

Look, Colossus…

I don’t have time for the goody two-shoes bullshit right now!

We can’t allow this, Deadpool.

Please, come quietly.

You big chrome cock-gobbler!

That’s not nice.

You’re really gonna fuck this up for me?

Trust me, that wheezing bag of dick-tips has it coming.

He’s pure evil!

Besides… Nobody’s getting hurt.

That guy was already up there when I got here.

You’ve been warned before, Deadpool.

This is a shameful and reckless use of your powers.

Shameful derives from shame, which is the feeling you have when you feel guilty and embarrassed because you have done something wrong.

When we think that someone should feel shame. or be ashamed of themselves we might say shame on you.

Dad? Ow.

That’s your kid?

Shame on you.

Now, Shameful is the adjective form used to describe something that causes you to feel shame.

The things you’re willing to do just for some money, it’s shameful.

This is a Shameful and reckless use of your powers.

Reckless means not caring or worrying about the possible bad or dangerous results of your actions.

I love Thor more dearly than any of you but you know what he is.

He’s arrogant.

He’s reckless. He’s dangerous.

You saw how he was today.

Let’s now analyse this from a pronunciation point of view.

This character is especially interesting for language learners because he has a very thick accent.

Let’s listen again.

Do you think his pronunciation is bad?

You’ve been warned before, Deadpool.

This is a Shameful and reckless use of your powers.

His speech is actually quite okay as far as pronunciation and intonation.

In order to make him sound foreign, all they’re doing is making the voice actor exaggerated the R sounds in his dialogue.

You’re really gonna fuck this up for me?

Trust me, that wheezing bag of dick-tips has it coming.

If you fuck something up, you make a mistake or do something badly. You ruin something.

Obviously, this phrase is inappropriate and should be used with caution.

A more appropriate alternative is scrow something up.

And then Hope’s heart is all…

“I’m worried that I can’t trust him, and he’s gonna screw up again, and ruin everything! “

Now, when we say something like “ someone has it coming “, it means that that person deserves something bad to happen to them.

Sorry I took your suit.

I mean, you had it coming.

Well, I hit you with my car a couple times, so I think that kind of evens things out.

Perhaps I had it coming.
