Easy English expression rehashed.
Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Easy English Expression with Coach Shane.
EQ Podcast number 324.
I love this.
This is a verb phrase and I don't think many people know...
That you can use this word as a verb, but you can.
A lot of people just know the word as a noun, but you can absolutely use it as a verb.
What is it?
You're going to have to listen to the podcast.
Enjoy.
Let's go back in time.
Today's expression is very useful if you have trash.
T-R-A-S-H.
Trash.
Another word from trash would be similar to trash would be garbage.
G-A-R-B-A-G-E.
Garbage.
Trash.
You know, old paper.
Empty food packages.
Empty cans.
Empty cans, that should be recycling.
What else is trash?
Baby diapers.
Ew, gross.
Yeah, things like that.
Trash.
Everybody has trash.
Including some expensive things.
Well, not necessarily expensive.
But for example, on my desk right now is a keyboard.
A USB keyboard.
But it doesn't work.
It died.
I don't know what happened.
I guess it just died.
So I bought a new one.
They're cheap.
It's like $10 for a new keyboard.
I don't have anything special.
But now I have two keyboards on my desk.
My new one, which works, and my old one, which doesn't work.
It's garbage.
It's trash.
So what should I do with it?
Today's expression is, trash it.
Trash it.
Trash it.
Throw it away.
Get rid of it.
Now trash, it can also mean recycle, but especially if you trash something, you're just throwing it away in the regular garbage.
Yep.
Orange peels.
What do you do with orange peels?
Trash it.
Banana peels.
Trash it.
Old cell phones.
Trash it.
Ah, but we shouldn't trash cell phones, right?
It seems like inside, you know, cell phones are so expensive.
Inside the cell phone, there should be something valuable, right?
I don't know.
Trash it.
Let's check out the dialogue.
Are you going to keep this CD?
Trash it.
It's unopened.
I don't like this singer.
Yep.
That has happened to me.
I've received gifts, CDs, even DVDs.
Somebody sends me a gift.
Usually students, of course.
None of you.
None of you.
But old students, they would give me a CD or some sort of gift.
And I would...
Never open it.
Thank you.
Thank you for thinking of me.
But, you know, whatever.
No.
So I trash it.
I throw it away.
I do.
I'm sorry.
It's not good.
It's not cool.
I know.
But that happens.
So, yeah, a CD, you can trash it.
What's the biggest thing that you've ever trashed?
Or the most expensive thing, you know, when you buy it.
The most expensive thing that you've ever trashed.
Does anybody trash jewelry?
Like rings?
Diamonds?
What about gold teeth?
Would you trash gold teeth?
I don't have any gold teeth, but I'll tell you.
If I die and I've got gold teeth and I die...
Yeah, the gold teeth are going into the ground with me.
If I have a son or a daughter, I'm not going to let them take my gold teeth.
Now, what about your father's gold teeth?
Eh, trash it.
Trash it with dad.
Isn't that horrible?
I know.
But no, seriously.
Oh, yes.
There was something.
This really makes me angry.
About, I don't know, six months ago, I bought a desk.
You know, a desk that I could use to work at.
And it cost me like $180.
For me, that's expensive, okay?
But then when I moved in January, the desk broke completely.
I was only able to use the desk for like two or three months.
It broke.
So I trashed it.
Threw it away.
I trashed it.
Yeah, for me, that's about the most expensive thing that I've ever trashed.
What about you?
Do you trash something every day?
Of course you do.
Anything expensive?
Anything valuable?
Let us know.
That's today's expression.
Stick around.
Tomorrow we got another one coming.
Every day this podcast goes out for you to help you with your English.
Sometimes a new expression.
Sometimes an expression you know, but it's still good to review.
And best of all, It's free.
Isn't that cool?
Yeah.
I wish when I were younger or years ago, when I wanted to study the Korean language or something else, I wish there was a free podcast.
Well, now there is.
Enjoy it.
And together, let's master English.
Are you going to keep this CD?

It's unopened.
I don't like the singer.
Are you going to keep this CD?
Trash it.
It's unopened.
