English. Hello everybody, welcome back to daily easy English expression live from the United States.
I'm your English coach, Coach Shane.
Today's podcast is brought to you by you, my direct sponsors like Sergei and Xi Peng.
I'll talk about them at the end.
And you can be a sponsor to, today's expression is, odd -a -date, odd -a -date.
Oh, that's a great expression.
Out of date. Yeah, what was that pronunciation?
Odd -a -date. I know, it's tough.
So, O -U -T -O -F, so out of.
Now, out of when we say it really fast in America it sounds like this.
Now some Americans do say out -of -date, but usually out -of -date.
Okay so the pronunciation out -of -date, out -of -date, out -of -date.
What does it mean? If something is out of date, that means it is no good anymore.
Or simply it is very old, out of date.
So, for example, if Coatshain goes to a nightclub and I start dancing, you will see that my dance moves are out of date.
They're very very old.
I still do the macarena.
I'm gonna do the macarena and do the macarena and do the macarena oh macarena.
Now believe it or not I never learned the macarena.
Now I think the pronunciation is right though.
So my dance moves are out of date.
What else of mine? If you look at my beer now, nowadays in America I like beer.
Just one beer a day, at night, I like it.
But nowadays in America people love microbreweries.
These are very small beer companies.
Maybe they only make 200 200 bottles of beer, that's it.
That's it, 200 bottles of beer.
And they're very popular.
So if you go to a local beer store, I'm not joking, they will have hundreds of different kinds of beer.
And that's what guys drink.
Nowadays, guys love drinking these specialty beers, these micro brewery beers.
and yeah, it's kind of cool.
It's kind of interesting but me I like the old traditional Miller not even Miller genuine draft not Miller light.
I like the old Original Miller the very very first original type of Miller beer my beer taste is old fashioned it is out of of dates.
Yes, out of date can also mean old -fashioned.
But let me give you a really common usage of the expression out of date in the dialogue.
Are you ready? Here we go.
What are you doing?
I'm updating the software.
It's out of date. Oh, I should do that too.
I'll let you know if it's any good.
Bingo. On your computer, you have software.
Maybe it's Microsoft Word or what do I have. I have Microsoft Word, AVS Audio Editor, Sony Vegas, what else do I have, GoToMeeting, yeah all these Photoshop, all these different softwares and every six months, every year they have new version, they update the software so if they keep updating the software then the old software becomes out of date, sometimes the old software doesn't work so it's not only out of date it's useless, in that situation you need to update your software.
You need to bring it up to date.
So, out of date, the opposite is up to date.
Up to date means it is the most recent version of software.
Out of date means it's an older version of software.
So, when we talk about up to date, bring the software up to date, we just combine the words and say update, make it a verb update.
So out of date, the opposite is up to date.
And we can use the verb update to update your software.
Okay, so this is a great expression, I'm updating the software because it is out of date.
Now, be careful. Sometimes when they update the software, the new updated version is no good, Right.
That's happened to me.
Oh, I hate that. Especially with your, you know, my, the iPhone.
Be careful. I never, this is just me.
I never update the software.
I always wait like three or four months, then I update to the new version.
What about you? Okay.
Let's check out the dialogue two more times.
