This is an expression we use when you know life. Things just happen in life and there's nothing you can do about it.

When you edge someone out, it means you pass them. Maybe at work you and a colleague are both trying to get a promotion, but there's only one spot.

When you go flat out, it means you're going as fast as you can possibly go. When Usain Bolt runs the hundred meter, he runs flat out. He can't go any faster. We also use this phrase to talk about things like work. For the last few days, I've been working flat out. I've been working really, really hard. Jen and I have both been work...2023-08-2304 minBob\'s Short English LessonsBob's Short English LessonsLearn the English Phrases "It's been a blast!" and "I had a blast!"Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases IT'S BEEN A BLAST and I HAD A BLAST- In this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the phrase, it's been a blast.

And we almost always use this... I think we always use this in the negative. When something doesn't sit well with you, it means you don't like it. Maybe your boss says that you have to work Saturday and that just doesn't sit well with you. That means that you're not excited about working on Saturday.

This is just a quick way to start a sentence that we would normally start by saying, “There is no need to.” But often in English, in spoken English, we'll say “No need to...” instead.

There wi...2023-07-0704 minBob\'s Short English LessonsBob's Short English LessonsLearn the English Phrases "a walk in the park" and "a cakewalk" In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase "a walk in the park". When we describe something as a walk in a park, we mean that it's going to be very, very easy. If I say that tomorrow I'm going to go for a 20-minute walk, that's a walk in the park for me. Oh, it's a bad example. I'm using the literal example of walking to talk about this. I usually go for a 45 to 60-minute walk. If I have to walk somewhere and it's only 10 minutes, it's a walk in the park.

Now, this is exactly what it sounds like. It's a rule, but it's not written down anywhere. There are a lot of unwritten rules when you are speaking English, because sometimes when you're in an English speaking country, not just the language is different, but the culture is a little bit different. And not everyone writes down those rules. A great example...2023-02-2204 minBob\'s Short English LessonsBob's Short English LessonsLearn the English Words "whatsoever" and "somewhat"Read along to practice your English and to learn the English words WHATSOEVER and SOMEWHATIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English word whatsoever. This is kind of an interesting word, and Konstantin asked if I could explain it. When you use the word whatsoever, it means at all. If I was to say, "There isn't any traffic behind me whatsoever," it would mean that there are no cars or trucks behind me. By the way, sorry if I'm squinting a lot. It's very bright out here. I tried to stand in...2023-02-0104 minBob\'s Short English LessonsBob's Short English LessonsLearn the English Phrases "to hang out" and "to hang back"Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO HANG OUT and TO HANG BACKIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, to hang out.

Sometimes we go to visit her sister and we just hang out...2023-01-2704 minBob\'s Short English LessonsBob's Short English LessonsLearn the English Phrases "to stop at nothing" and "stop-and-go"Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO STOP AT NOTHING and STOP-AND-GOIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase "to stop at nothing." When you say that you will stop at nothing to do something it means you'll do anything you have to to get that thing done. It's raining right now, but I will stop at nothing to get a video made for all of you. So even though it's raining and it's a little bit cold, I don't mind coming out to get...2023-01-0604 minBob\'s Short English LessonsBob's Short English LessonsLearn the English (French) Phrases "C'est la vie!" and "déjà vu"Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases C'EST LA VIE and DÉJÁ VUIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase c'est la vie or is this actually a French phrase? By the way, there are French phrases that we use in everyday English and c'est la vie is one of them, and it means, that's life.

So in an English conversation you would just shrug and sa...2022-11-2304 minBob\'s Short English LessonsBob's Short English LessonsLearn the English Phrases "Who would have thought..." and "Come to think of it..."Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT... and COME TO THINK OF ITIn this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English phrase who would've thought.

When you say that you're getting nowhere in English, it means you're doing something, but you aren't making any progress. Maybe you've been studying English for over a year and you don't feel like you are learning a whole lot. You could say you feel like you're getting nowhere. Sometimes during the summer, I have a lot of work to do.

That means he did...2022-06-2404 minBob\'s Short English LessonsBob's Short English LessonsLearn the English Phrases IT DOESN'T HURT TO and THE TRUTH HURTSRead along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases IT DOESN'T HURT TO and THE TRUTH HURTSIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, "It doesn't hurt to." This is a phrase we say when we're recommending that someone does something that will actually benefit them.
