Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello everybody, welcome back to DailyEasyEnglishExpressions, the Budcast.
Coach Shane, where have you been?
I've been missing your podcast.
Well, as they say in Japanese, what Tashiwa?
Sorry, des. That's really horrible, Japanese, but I think what it means is I am sorry.
I've been so busy, but I'm so happy to be back and I hope that you are happy to hear me.
Today we have a great expression.
It is going rogue. Going rogue.
Going G-O-I-N-G, going rogue, R-O-G-U-E.
And what does it mean to go rogue?
It means to suddenly not follow the rules to suddenly be an independent person.
Now sometimes going rogue can kind of be okay, but usually it's not okay.
I'll talk more about it, give you more examples.
After you check out the dialogue.
What's Jim doing? Not serving alcohol?
He's gone rogue. Why? It's against his religion.
Well, then he shouldn't work in a bar.
So this is the situation.
It's kind of a different kind of a strange conversation, right?
So Jim works at a bar, B-A-R.
And in America, if you go to a bar, they almost always sell alcohol, beer, whiskey, and he's like that, right?
So Jim works at a bar and somebody ordered a beer, but Jim is not serving beer.
He's only serving Coca-Cola, Pepsi, water, orange juice.
He's not serving alcohol, and the question is why?
Why? Well, the answer is he has gone rogue.
He's not following the rules.
If you go to a bar and you order a beer, they are supposed to bring you a beer.
That's the rule, but he's not following the rules.
Why? Because it's against his religion.
According to his religion, you're not supposed to drink alcohol.
So if somebody wants alcohol, say no.
Do you want water? Do you want orange juice?
Do you want Coca-Cola? I'll bring you that.
Do you want tea? Do you want coffee?
No problem. Would you like some milk?
I'll bring you milk, but no alcohol.
Alcohol is against his religion.
So he's not serving alcohol, but he works in a bar.
He has gone rogue. And that's cool.
That's fine. However, if you go to a bar and you want a beer and the person who works there doesn't give you a beer, well, the last sentence, he shouldn't work in a bar.
And I agree with that. I agree with that.
Another great example of going rogue is, and I know some people hate this guy and some people love this guy, but the reason people hate him and the reason people love him is because he has gone rogue.
Who am I talking about? Donald J.
Trump. He's a politician.
He's gone rogue. Yeah. He might go to jail.
Maybe not. He might become president again.
Maybe not. But there's no question compared to past politicians in the United States.
Does Donald Trump follow the rules?
No, he doesn't. I mean, I don't think he does.
I've watched the situation and it seems like he does not follow the rules.
He has gone rogue. Now, when it comes to English teaching, English teaching, you know, they always talk about grammar and vocabulary and memorized, memorized, memorized in that situation and coach Shane, me, myself, I have gone rogue.
What I teach is actually quite different.
I'm a, I've gone rogue. I don't follow the typical rules.
Is that bad? I don't think so.
I'm not breaking any rules.
I'm just not following the rules.
