Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression.
Oh my goodness, what happened?
For two weeks, no podcasts.
Well, to make a long story short, Coach Shane was very sick.
Yep, it started on a Wednesday, was it a Wednesday or Thursday?
I can't even remember.
and had a big pain, it was so bad I actually called 911, I went to the hospital, they took me to the hospital, and they discovered I had a kidney stone.
I'll spell that if you're interested.
Kidney, K -I -D -N -E -Y, stone, S -T -O -N -E, and oh my God it was extremely painful.
Very very difficult for two weeks almost two weeks I was stuck in bed It was very horrible.
I hope that none of you ever experience a kidney stone.
But right now I'm feeling so much better.
I'm not 100 % but I'm really close and I'm strong enough to start our daily podcast once again.
I hope you missed me because I certainly Missed you.
Thank you so much for waiting Enough chit chat, let's get into today's expression.
It is is to leg it, to leg it, ah yes a verb to leg it, L -E -G, leg like your arms and your legs to leg it.
What does it mean to leg it?
It means to walk someplace.
It means to go somewhere using your own physical energy.
To leg it means to walk or to run someplace.
When I was young and when I went to school, I always legged it.
I legged it to school.
I walked to school.
Sometimes I ran. Sometimes I rode my bike.
But usually, I legged it.
Even when I went to my friend's house.
My friend lived a long distance away but in the summertime, even in the wintertime, I would leg it.
If my mom did not want to give me a ride, I had to leg it.
Nowadays... Do I leg it anywhere?
No, just for exercise.
I moved a little bit, not really into the country, however, there are no stores near my house.
Actually, the closest store to my house is probably maybe 4 or 5km.
So, if I had to leg it to the store and back everyday, I would be dying.
No I don't like it anymore.
But what about you?
Do you like it much?
Let's check out a dialogue.
How are you getting to the game?
I'll like it. It's three miles.
So? The weather's perfect for a nice walk.
I do like walking, you know.
I average probably three miles a day.
Three miles is about five kilometers.
Sometimes a little bit more.
of course, for the last couple weeks I have not walked at all zero.
But I do enjoy walking.
Walking to work, walking to school, that's a different situation.
When I worked, when I was in Korea and I worked at the Language Institute, usually I would take the bus or the subway.
Sometimes I would drive.
But sometimes if if the weather was nice, I did enjoy legging it.
Sometimes legging it was nice, even though it was like, it was a long distance, maybe eight kilometers to my house, but I liked it.
So what about you? How often do you leg it?
Do you leg it to the store?
Do you leg it to school?
Do you leg it to your office?
Do you leg it to church?
Do you leg it to the mosque?
Where do you leg it to?
Do you ever leg it?
Some of us probably never do.
It's not a bad idea though.
That's today's expression.
Check out the dialogue 2 more times.
Once again thank you so much for waiting for me.
I apologize. I was sick, but I'm feeling good now, getting better and better and better, and I promise I'll do my best to be back here again tomorrow.
Together, let's master English!
