Easy English Expression.
Rehashed. Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Happy Sunday everybody, Coach Shane here, I hope you're doing great.
How's the weather where you are?
Oh my god, where I live, we've got another snowstorm.
We have so much snow this winter, the biggest snowfall I've ever seen in Vermont so far.
I've been here like five years now, and it's been so cold.
I hope the weather where you are is great.
But you know what? When it comes to weather, rainy, snowy, sunshine, windy, cold, hot, warm, humid, dry, I'm actually not too picky.
Do you think that's true?
Let's go back in time.
Today's expression is picky.
Picky. P -I -C -K -Y. It's an adjective.
And we can describe someone as being picky.
He is picky. She is picky.
I do not like picky people.
What does picky mean?
Well, if somebody is picky, they are very careful when they choose something or when they accept something.
Maybe they're too careful.
They check it very carefully or if they ask for something, they are very particular.
So it's especially common to say a picky eater.
Somebody who is a picky eater is very careful about what they eat.
And they check everything.
They look at everything.
When I was young, I was a very picky eater.
If my mom fed me vegetables, I would not eat.
But then my mom wouldn't give me any cookies, so I quickly learned not to be so picky.
But now that I'm older, I think I'm still very picky.
In my case, I love vegetables now, but I try to eat healthy food.
And I try not to eat at fast food restaurants.
that makes me a little bit picky when it comes to wearing clothes I'm not picky I wear anything if it fits me if it's clean I wear it I don't care about the color I don't care about the style I don't care if there are holes in the t -shirt or the socks I still wear it I'm not picky when it comes to choosing
a boyfriend or a personality she must be very funny she must be close to her family she must not have a brother she must be 3 years younger than me she must be 4 inches shorter than me and on and on and on.
That is somebody who is very picky.
So when picking clothes, when picking a partner, when picking food, when choosing, when selecting these items, if you are very particular, if you are very careful, you are picky.
Let's check out the dialogue.
What can I get you?
A hamburger, please anything else well please cook it medium rare toast the buns and butter the bottom bus when picking a partner when picking food when choosing when selecting these items if you are very particular if you are very careful you are picky let's check out the dialogue What can I get you?
A hamburger, please.
Anything else? Well, please cook it medium rare.
Toast the buns and butter the bottom bun.
I'd like twice as much ketchup as mustard.
Three dill pickle slices, no cheese, a thin tomato, and one strip of bacon.
Am I being too picky?
No, not at all, sir.
oh my god come on a hamburger a hamburger is simple but this guy is super picky now remember everybody the dialogue you can find the dialogue in the description of the podcast so you can click there and find the dialogue or you can go ahead and try to dictate it now i'm going to tell you what he said
now he ordered a hamburger and then he said please cook it medium rare so usually when we talk about cooking there's medium well done and rare so well done is very well cooked rare the meat is pink medium a little bit of pink a little bit of brown medium rare More pink than brown?
I don't know. Toast the buns, the bread, toast the breads, and butter the bottom bun.
So only on the bottom bun, he wants butter.
He wants twice as much ketchup as mustard.
So mustard this much, ketchup this much, something like that.
Three dill pickle slices, no cheese, a thin tomato, not a thick tomato, a thin tomato, and one strip of bacon.
My goodness, he's way too picky.
Let's listen to that dialogue two more times.
What can I get you?
A hamburger, please.
Anything else? Well, please cook it medium rare, Toast the buns and butter the bottom bun.
I'd like twice as much ketchup as mustard, three dill pickle slices, no cheese, a thin tomato, and one strip of bacon.
Am I being too picky?
No, not at all, sir.
