A knockoff. Yup, it's a noun, a knockoff, the knockoff, some knockoff spelling, KNOckoff, one word.
Again, KNOCKOFF, yah, the K is silent, a knockoff.
What is a knockoff?
A knockoff is a product that is not original.
Do you know what I mean?
you think you are buying a Rolex watch but it's actually Rolex. That's a bad example.
I don't know any or or you buy a polo t -shirt or a polo shirt, very expensive, but the horse only has three legs instead of four.
The original price of a polo is a hundred dollars but a knock -off is like ten dollars and it looks just as good do you like knockoffs check out the dialogue um what's wrong with your shirt there what the guy and the horse they're in color yes so it's a polo no dude it's a knockoff Yeah, it's hard to explain, but polo has many knockoffs and if you have the small horse on your shirt, the small horses are only black and if you have one that's in color, it's a knockoff.
They have knockoffs of everything, absolutely.
Do they have knockoffs of English classes?
I guess they could.
Well, if somebody stole my classes and then sold them to somebody else, well, that would be a knockoff, right?
That's not really the class you're not getting the interaction.
See the nice thing about DDM and perf classes is you can ask me questions and I will answer your questions.
But if you buy a knockoff, you're not going to be able to talk to me.
Yeah, when I was younger, I had lots of knockoffs.
I did. I thought it was cool.
But now that I'm older, I appreciate the value of something that's good.
And if it's too expensive, I don't buy it.
But if something is really good and it's a little more expensive, I'll pay the extra money.
Knockoffs are rarely as good.
Except when it comes to CDs and DVDs, no, no, no, no.
that's not true. No no respect the copyright.
Do you have any knockoffs.
Are knockoffs popular in your country.
Tell me about some of the knockoffs that you have or that you have seen.
You guys have a fantastic.
Oh I need to explain why a knockoff.
This is a tough one and I couldn't really find good definition but I'm guessing if you listen to a factory the sounds of, you know, making shoes and making purses and making shirts.
Factories, the machines chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga right?
And this sound that's a knocking sound.
So I don't know. Oh maybe the knock -off has the idea of a cheap factory chung -chung -chung -chung knocking -off these fake products.
That's my guess. I have no idea, I think it's a pretty good guess and maybe with that image in your head you will remember.
