Easy English expression rehashed. Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English! Hey, everybody.
Coach Shane here. How you doing today? We got a great word to study.
And some people say I hate it. have this word and some people say I do not have this word When I was younger, my wife said I had this word.
I don't know if she says it anymore. Which makes me sad.
Enjoy today's expression. Let's go back in time.
Today's expression describes me. Swagger.
S-W-A-G-G-E-R These days, after 200 podcasts, I'm feeling very confident.
I'm feeling very powerful. I'm feeling very cool.
I'm feeling like James Bond. And have you ever seen James Bond walking?
He walks with pure confidence. He walks with a swagger.
So the idea – now this is a word that we use especially to describe men.
I guess we could use it to describe women, but especially men...
Men who are... Very confident. Actually, maybe too confident.
They walk like they're really super cool.
Super tough. I don't know. I keep thinking of some guy at a nightclub.
I keep thinking of some guy who's at a nightclub with his shirt unbuttoned. you know, like five buttons are unbuttoned, his three pieces of hair are sticking out, gold necklace.
Walking around really cool. What's up, John?
What's up, Pete? How's it going, everybody? and all the ladies look at him and go, Yeah, that guy walks around with swagger.
What about you? If you're a guy? Do you walk around with a swagger?
So we use this word in daily English like this.
He's got swagger. That guy has swagger.
And what it means is... He's really cool.
He's pretty powerful. He is very... Confident.
People like him. He probably has some money.
He's probably pretty smart. Maybe he has a good job.
The guy has got swagger. Me, Coach Shane, do I have swagger?
Well, let's check out the dialogue first.
Oh, look at that guy's swagger. He must think he's so hot.
He's... bald oh my god Yes, it's true.
Sometimes, like yesterday, you know, I did two. podcasts.
I was feeling really good. So after I finished my podcast, I took a walk outside, you know, Feeling very confident.
Feeling pretty good. I had a swagger. I was walking with a swagger.
And I heard people laughing at me. Yeah, having a bald head and swagger It's possible.
I guess Michael Jordan... His head is totally clean.
And definitely he walks with swagger. Eh, I don't know.
Me though, no. I probably shouldn't walk with swagger.
Yeah, I need more hair for that. It's a very common word among the youth.
These days, you know, teenagers, 20s, even into their 30s.
To walk with swagger, to have swagger, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
Having confidence? is actually sometimes pretty darn good.
Do you have swagger, ladies? Does your man have swagger?
Does your father have swagger? Sometimes every man will have some swagger.
Can you tell us when that is? Check out the dialogue two more times.
Oh, look at that guy's swagger. He must think he's so hot.
He's bright. Bald! Oh my god! Oh, look at that guy's swagger.
He must think he's so hot. He's beautiful.
Bald! Oh my god. Thanks so much for listening.
