Wok it off. Now what does wok it off mean?
Well it actually means If you are experiencing some pain that instead of crying, or going to the hospital, or shaking it, just walk around.
Walk around for a minute or two and then the pain will kind of disappear and then you will be okay.
and you know what this works in many situations.
Did you ever watch a soccer game or a basketball game or a football game or something like that and the player he gets hit really hard or he gets kicked or the ball hits them in the and he's like and what does he do?
well some guys cry but real men they stand up and they walk around for about a minute and then yeah I'm ready I'm okay I'm okay they walk it off if they have some discomfort if they have some pain they And walk it off.
It's a great expression, check out the dialogue.
Oh, my leg! Quit crying.
It was just a baseball.
Huh? Just a baseball?
Can't be tough. Walk it off.
When I was younger, I played baseball.
baseball, I played baseball all through elementary school, a little bit of middle school, and then when I was like 30 years old, I was on a men's team and I love baseball.
Baseball is a fantastic sport but if you've ever played baseball, you know that the ball is actually very hard.
Instead of baseball, we also say hard ball.
The ball is hard. and if that ball hits you, if somebody throws it really hard it can hurt.
If a guy hits the ball with a bat and that ball hits you oh it can hurt.
Baseballs can kill you actually.
Yeah it's true and I have probably two or three times I've been hit by a baseball, and I was running one time I was running from first base to second base.
Oh, and the other time I was actually going into home and somebody threw the ball and it hit me in the leg.
Both times it hit me in the leg.
Oh my God, both times it hurts so bad, but you know what?
You'll walk it off and then you're fine.
And then about two hours later it really hurts.
It hurts again. Yeah, walk it off.
So if you get hit if maybe you know somebody hits you at the office or you bump your leg into the table or your toe on your foot It hits a step and it really hurts or maybe your knee on the desk Oh, it really hurts, but hey just walk it off.
You'll be okay as long as there's no blood there's no bones coming out of your body you'll be okay just walk it off be tough walk it off it's a great expression it is Monday everybody it's great to be back and I promise I'll be here the entire week are you ready to master your English sign up for my free lessons www .lettsmasterenglish .com slash free they are free free lessons and you'll get our newsletter too which has some really cool pictures oh I have news for everybody I Got my chickens.
