Hello, everybody. My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
You and me every day.
Come on! Let's master English.
Hello everybody, welcome back to daily easy English expression.
Today at the end of the podcast I'm going to say thank you to many new patrons and sponsors thank you so much that's coming at the end.
Today's expression, jerk.
That guy's a jerk. Jerk.
Don't be a jerk. This is a very common word. Once again, it's not a word I recommend using at the office.
Don't use it to your boss.
Don't use it your to your teacher.
Be careful around your mom.
Jerk. J -E -R -K. This is a person, usually a guy, who is very annoying.
They make you mad, they are probably not smart, they are probably stupid, and yet they are your boss.
Can you imagine having a boss that is less intelligent than you?
Ah man, that would make you crazy, right?
And the boss doesn't like you because you are intelligent, and the boss makes you do stupid things.
The boss is a jerk!
Everybody can be a jerk sometimes, even your wife, or your husband.
Once again, this is especially for guys, so we'll focus on guys, your best friend, your brother, your dad, they can all be jerks.
It's all possible, I mean sometimes we don't feel very nice.
In that situation we can say don't be a jerk why are you being such a jerk?
They're not being nice.
They're not helping they're being too selfish They're only thinking about themselves and that situation the guy's being a jerk.
Why don't you help me?
I need some help. I'm having a hard time.
Can you be nice to me?
Would you be quiet?
I'm trying to sleep?
Can you please be quiet?
Don't turn up the music.
So loud. I'm trying to study But they don't listen to you.
They only do what they want to do.
They're being a jerk Yeah Let's check out the dialogue So, did you get his autograph no what a jerk Oh What happened?
He said he only gives autographs at movie screenings Autograph, A -U -T -O -G -R -A -P -H.
Do you have any autographs?
An autograph is a famous person's signature, like a singer, or an actor.
Do you have any autographs?
Who? Well, I'm curious, who's autograph do you have?
Do I know the person?
Would we know the person?
Many times famous people will give you their autograph, They'll sign something for you, but sometimes they won't Sometimes they're really mean oh Brad Pitt can I get your autograph man.
No what a jerk He's who does he think he is because I spent money on his movie He's rich, and he can't give me a signature.
What a jerk It's true You know, I guess if you wanna be a movie star or a singer, then you have to understand that when your fans ask for an autograph, you should probably give them an autograph.
They are making you famous.
Yes, of course you may have some talent, but there are many many people in this world who do not, I'm sorry, who are very talented, but they are not famous.
So if you're a celebrity don't be a jerk.
I understand sometimes you're tired.
Yeah that happens. Just tell people.
I'm sorry I'm really tired.
Give me your email address and I'll email you.
I don't know something like that.
Have a manager! That's what you need.
You need to have your manager help you with with your fans, but don't be a jerk.
How about this? Do you guys enjoy my podcast?
Oh great, yes, great, wonderful.
But, it takes me a lot of time, you know, and I'm kinda tired, so if you want to listen to my podcast from now on, you have to pay me 10 cents for each podcast. So in a month that means you have to pay me 3 dollars and if you don't pay the money I'm not going to make the podcast. Yeah sorry.
COACH HAIN don't be a jerk come on be nice.
Now remember everybody this is a pretty hard expression.
It's basically the same as asshole, which is a bad word. A -S -S -H -O -L -E.
Yeah, the word asshole we cannot say on TV, but on TV we do say the word jerk.
They're the same thing basically.
J -E -R -K, jerk. So just remember, it is a strong word. Don't use it to your boss ever.
Don't use it to your teachers.
Don't use it to your mom or dad Although I have heard my friends use it to their parents.
It's so not cool. Don't do that Don't use it to your husband or wife and it's usually used about friends to To your friends Yeah, all right.
That's it. Check out the dialogue two more times and then a bunch of thank yous So did you get his autograph?
No when a jerk Oh, what happened?
He said he only gives autographs at movie screenings.
So, did you get his autograph?
No, what a jerk. What happened?
He said he only gives autographs at movie screenings.

It's been a while since I said thank you and I just want to say I'm sorry.
Now people have sent me emails, Oh, please don't say the thank -yous.
We're not interested And boy, this has been a dilemma for me because I think it's important to that people know that I see their commitment and Their investment your whether it's one cent or one dollar or ten dollars or whatever It is an investment and I take it seriously and I promise to do my best for you and I want to thank you.
So yeah, I don't know what to do.
I can't ignore, I can't not say thank you to the individual people.
So maybe I'll try to do it once a week or just once a month or something like that, but I just want to tell everybody again that I do see your donations and believe me, I do see them and they help me so much And I just want to say, thank you very much. If you can't become a patron, don't worry.
I'll still be here tomorrow to help you master English.
