Hey everyone, Coach Shane here.
Thanks for joining me again.
Today's expression is a little negative, but super useful.
Once again, join my community.
I know you have some time, I think, perhaps.
Perhaps you have some time.
I don't know.
But if you do, and if English is important, get in our community, all right?
It's school.com slash LME.
That's S-K-O-O-L dot com slash L-M-E.
This is E-Cubed 419.
Let's check it out.
Let's go back in time.
Today's expression is, To dump on someone.
Okay, now be careful.
We've studied the word dump many, many times, many different definitions.
But to dump on someone is an interesting expression.
It means to tell somebody all the of your problems, all of your worries, all of your fears, all of your regrets everything, to dump all of your emotional thoughts onto another person.
So I don't know me.
I'm sorry.
I don't like it when people dump on me when they say, oh, Shane, it's so nice to see you.
Oh, hey, how are you doing?
What's new?
Oh, what's new?
Well, my girlfriend left me.
I cannot tell you how lonely I feel.
It's like I don't want to live anymore and I don't want to go to work.
Oh, come on.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
That's too bad.
Yep.
But it happens.
Maybe it was your fault.
Maybe it was her fault.
It happens.
Forget about it.
Move on.
Yeah, I know it's not very nice to say that, but that's just me.
I don't like it when people dump on me.
I mean, if something bad happened, you can tell me and I'll give you some empathy, some sympathy, but I'm sorry.
I'm not a psychiatrist.
I don't know how to deal with your problems and I have enough of my own problems.
I don't want to dump on you.
Yeah.
I don't want you guys to dump on me.
No, no, no.
If you got problems, You need to talk to somebody.
Absolutely.
And yes, of course, there are some people I will listen to and I will spend time with.
I don't mind it.
But not everybody.
And I'm sure you are the same way.
Some people, yes, you have the time to listen to them.
To try to help them.
They can dump on you.
But not everybody.
Let's check out the dialogue.
Shane, you're not going to believe what happened to me.
Sorry, don't dump on me now.
I'm busy.
What?
But you're my boyfriend.
Yeah, right.
I'm your boyfriend, not your psychiatrist.
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
If I had a girlfriend and I said that to her, I think I would not have a girlfriend anymore.
I would be single.
Yeah, I'm sorry, guys, ladies.
If you have a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a husband or a wife.
That means you will allow your other person to dump on you.
That's part of the responsibility.
In my opinion, yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe you have a different definition.
But if you're in a relationship yeah, then you have to be ready to be dumped on.
I know, even even though you're married, it's sometimes not easy to be dumped on.
But hey, you got married, you made the decision, you better accept it.
Uh yeah, you know, in the future, if i dump on you guys just stop the podcast, that's okay, you can just The next day, I'll be fine.
Everybody needs to dump their feelings on somebody sometimes, right?
Well, not me, but almost everybody.
