Hello, everybody. My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to daily easy English expression The butcast It is Thursday morning.
I woke up this morning.
It's April 12th 2018 I woke up this morning to three inches of new snow I Want spring man, I want spring my chickens want spring Yeah, but I was talking to everton this morning I had a perf live class perf VIP class and Everton lives in Brazil I think it's Curitiba Curitiba something like that and Everton said down there the daytime temperatures are still warm But the nighttime temperatures are starting to cool off and fall is Starting isn't that great?
Spring, fall, winter, summer, I love all the seasons.
The change of season is really special.
And yeah, so right now, I'm anxious for spring.
Yeah, I need spring.
What about you? Okay, today's expression is a good one.
It's kind of a country expression.
It's also kind of funny.
I don't know if you will ever use it, But you certainly might hear it and it's a phrasal verb.
It is to Russell up something I Need to Russell up something Mm -hmm.
So I need to Russell up some people That's a good example.
So once again, it's springtime and for me.
I'm going to have to start preparing for winter I'm not joking, I need to get wood, I need to cut the wood, I need to split the wood, I need to stack the wood, and that's going to take a long time if I do it by myself it'll take several months and then you know in the fall in the winter I'll have firewood to keep my house warm so if I do it by myself it's to be really difficult because as you know I have a new baby and I take care of the baby my wife she has to work.
So she's out working I'm taking care of the baby when am I going to have time to cut the firewood?
I'm going to have to rustle up some people.
I'm going to have to gather some people.
I'm going to have to find some people to help me, and that's the idea.
To rustle up means to gather.
G -A -T -H -E -R. To find...
to get together, this is the idea.
Russell everybody R U S T L E to Russell up check out the dialogue.
You got anything to eat?
Well let me try and rustle up something here.
What you got? Let's see an egg, some ketchup, a carrot sounds like an omelet.
There you go, delicious.
That sounds like my refrigerator.
I open up the refrigerator, what do I have?
A couple eggs, some ketchup, and a few carrots.
That's my refrigerator right now.
So what can I do with that?
Well, I'll just cook everything all together and I'll make an egg omelet.
Sounds delicious. to rustle up something you can rustle up people.
You can rustle up some money.
Oh that's a good example.
Let's say tomorrow or next week is your boss's birthday or your co -workers birthday or your friends birthday and you want to buy the person a nice gift but you don't have a lot of money.
So you can talk to the other co -workers, other students, other friends, and together you can wrestle up some money, you can gather some money, you can get some money together, you can find, acquire, take some money, and buy a nice gift, alright?
That's it. That's it for today's expression, you guys have a fantastic day, and together, let's master English.
