Below are four terms from today’s episode that may have been new for you.
Binge-watch: To binge-watch means to watch multiple episodes or perhaps even a full season of a television program in one sitting. https://links.artisanenglish.jp/BingeWatch
Go sideways: It always happens at the most inopportune times. When you think everything's fine, it'll go sideways, which means to go wrong or get worse. https://links.artisanenglish.jp/GoSideways
Look on the bright side: When you look on the bright side, you refuse to focus on the negative and instead focus on the positive. Positivity is a conscious choice. https://b.link/WednesdayOnTheBrightSide
Pull yourself up by the bootstraps: To pull yourself up by the bootstraps means to improve your circumstances through your efforts instead of depending on others for help. https://links.artisanenglish.jp/PullYourselfUpByTheBootstraps
