DTM VIP, that's my baby.
I really want to see you there.
Okay, cozying up to.
So the word cozy, cozyy.
Cozy means being comfortable.
I have a cozy chair.
When I sit in my chair, I'm very comfortable.
When I sit in my chair is kind of big.
So when I'm very comfortable in my chair, sometimes my wife feels romantic, you know,
not weird romantic, just nice and romantic.
Sometimes she really likes me and she'll sit in the chair with me.
She will cozy up with me.
So I'm already cozy in my cozy chair.
I'm already feeling comfortable in my very comfortable chair and my wife will sit with
me to be nice and sweet and romantic.
And that situation, as a verb, we can say, my wife is cozying up to me.
Okay?
So that's a typical way we can use this kind of a romantic husband, wife, you know, boyfriend,
girlfriend situation.
But the other situation, and that's literally cozying up, that's literally what it means.
But idiomatically, we can use it too, for example, in business.
Let's say there is somebody in the company who is always extra nice to the boss.
They bring coffee.
They talk really nice.
They change their voice, right?
This is also, this also can be called cozying.
Cozying up to the boss, cozying up to the boss.
Okay?
Now, if you are cozying up to the boss, there's a reason you want to be promoted.
You want the boss to like you.
You want a raise, right?
You want a good project.
You want a good position.
But other people who see you cozying up to the boss, they might not actually like you.
Right?
But you know what?
People are people.
Check out the dialogue.
Wise Paul, so nice to Bill.
He's really cozying up to him.
It's wrong.
They're enemies.
Hey, Bill's rich and powerful.
That's politics.
Yes.
Cozying up to someone in politics is really common.
Do you know the situation, right?
We know politician A and politician B.
Politician A says, oh my God, politician B is crazy.
What he thinks, what he wants, what he's doing is absolutely terrible.
It's just terrible.
But then three months later, suddenly politician A is really nice to politician B.
Politician B is a great person and I really hope to work with him.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Now this exact thing happened in the United States.
Right now we have President Biden.
This is 2021.
So we have President Biden and his vice president is Kamala Harris.
And Kamala Harris said horrible things about President Biden before he was president,
before he was president.
She said terrible things about him.
I'm not sure if Biden said horrible things about Kamala Harris, but maybe he did.
But anyway, Kamala Harris definitely said just terrible things about Joe Biden.
And then Joe Biden decided to choose her as his vice president and suddenly their best
friends.
They love each other in a political way.
This is exactly co-zying up.
She co-zied up and she is co-zying up to Joe Biden.
Politics, politics guys, politics and business, right?
They both work in that way.
To co-zie up to someone.
Co-zying up to your wife, co-zying up to your husband is absolutely fantastic.
When your children co-zied up to you, it's wonderful.
Now sometimes when my son co-zies up to me, co-zies up to me, I know he wants something.
He wants to go someplace or he wants to play something, right?
So sometimes people definitely co-zie up to other people in order to manipulate them
to get what they want.
And that is an example of idiomatically using the phrasal verb to co-zie up.
So, who is the last person you co-zied up to?
Wow, co-zying up, co-zying up and co-zied up all.
The verb conjugations are possible.
That's today's expression I want to see you in my classes.
Take advantage of our June summer spectacular sale.
Check out the dialogue a couple more times and together, let's master English.

Why is Paul so nice to build?
He's really co-zying up to him.
