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 E -cubed.
A special hello to Beatrice Lombardi, Fabrizio Tortula, and Marlene Danielle.
I'll tell you why a little bit later.
Today's expression.
Stupid is as stupid does.
is stupid is as stupid does what does this mean well let's look at the word stupid STU PID stupid what does stupid mean yes many people will say stupid means a low intelligence stupid means somebody who is dumb mm -hmm is stupid about your IQ?
Or is stupid about what you do?
Well, according to this expression, stupid is not related to your IQ, stupid is related to what you do.
So, if you do something stupid, then you are stupid, and everybody does something stupid now and And then, sometimes when I'm really tired, in the morning, I have two jars, both of them are white.
And when I make my coffee, I add sugar.
But sometimes, I add the other white stuff, which is salt.
And that makes me stupid, because I did something stupid.
Do you know Einstein?
Sure. Everybody knows Einstein.
Is he stupid? Well sometimes he was.
Einstein was interesting.
Sometimes when he left his school or left his laboratory or wherever he works he couldn't find his home.
Even though he knew the address, he was confused and could not find his home.
He's stupid. Even though he has a super IQ.
What's your IQ? is your IQ similar to mine like 145 ah actually I think mine is like 85 it doesn't matter what your IQ is whether it's 85 or 145 if you do something stupid then you're stupid that's what the expression means stupid is as stupid What are you doing?
Changing a light bulb.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Hey, I have a higher IQ than you.
Whoa, oh. This expression stupid is as stupid does comes from the movie, while it was famous in the movie, Forrest Gump.
This dialogue is pretty funny.
Sometimes if you want to change the light bulb sometimes it's very difficult to get that high if the light bulb is in the ceiling.
So in this situation a man opened a door and was standing on top of the door in order to reach the light so So he could change the light bulb.
Is that smart? No, that's really stupid.
And of course, we could hear the guy falling at the end because he was doing something stupid.
Even though his IQ is pretty high, even though anybody's IQ can be quite high, they still do stupid things.
So the next time you hear the word stupid just remember it actually might have more to do with what you did versus your IQ.
Okay let's check out the dialogue two more times.
What are you doing?
Changing a light bulb.
Stupid is as stupid does hey I have a higher IQ than you whoa what are you doing changing a light bulb stupid is as stupid does hey I have a higher IQ than you whoa now in the beginning of the podcast I said hello to Beatrice Lombardi Fabrizio Torturla and Marlene Daniel because they are my new sponsors.
