Here are the words that I talk about in this video: 1. to bail = to leave abruptly 2. to feel blue = to feel sad 3. buck = dollar 4. by the skin of my teeth = just barely 5. creep = strange person 6. stalker = somebody who is constantly following you in a n annoying way 7. coach potato = a lazy person who spends the bulk of their time engaged in things that can be done while sitting on a couch 8. to crash = to fall asleep abruptly 9. down to Earth = and adjective for practicality and lack of pretense 10. for real = a proclamation of honesty 11. cold shoulder = a metaphor for deliberately ignoring someone 12. plead the fifth = references the fifth amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which allows a witness in court to refuse questions on the grounds that they risk self-incrimination 13. screw up = to make a mistake, i.e. mess up 14. sweet = an adjective that describes something that is good, or nice 15. tight = an adjective that describes closeness between competitors, i.e. a tight competition 16. to trash = can be used as an intransitive verb for destruction 17. to wrap up = to finish 18. to hang out = to spend time relaxing 19. wheels = car 20. babe = if you refer to someone as a babe, it means that you think they’re hot and attractive 21. to get busted = to get caught 22. to have a blast = to enjoy doing something 23. epic fail = complete disaster
Hello, Linguamarina. Thank you for this video. I have a blast it but could you please explain more what plead the fifth is and give me an example. Once again thank you very much :D Have a nice day
that's one meaning of slang: everyday(informal) speech. Some of these(e.g. cold shoulder) are idioms & not "lazy speech"(main definition for what's slang) at all, but higher use of language.
She's teaching people things which aren't true. She's wrong in every video she makes. Without exaggeration, she's wrong about 40% of things she tells people. I mean no disrespect to her, but she shouldn't be explaining language if she can't use it properly and knows nothing of what she's saying. People will be so confused if they believe her and then visit an english-speaking country.
There is also "trash talk" and "talking trash" Trash talk is often used in sports when you're trying to verbally intimidate your opponent by saying things to them that are rude or disrespectful. Talking trash is similar and is used when you're being saying really negative things about someone. "I heard you were talking trash about me" means I heard you were saying mean things about me behind my back.
As an American, I didn't realize how slang these words and phrases were! :o I use a lot of them all the time without thinking twice -- I hope I haven't confused anyone too much! =( I try to be careful of using too much slang around foreigners, but this showed me how much it's ingrained in my everyday speaking. x_x The only word that might have a slightly different definition (perhaps regionally?) is the "trash" definition. In Colorado, "to trash" usually means "to deliberately vandalize something" (but most people would still understand what someone meant if they were using the word to refer to a car accident). "To trash a car" might mean someone put a bunch of spray paint on a car, keyed a car, slashed the tires, ripped up the seats, etc.. Some mean person was on a mission to deliberately mess up the car rather than there being an accident. :o In Colorado, people usually use the word "totaled" to mean "car accident." So, "I totaled my car" would mean I crashed my car into something and the car needs major repairs. Sometimes I feel really thankful that I grew up learning a lot of slang, because I can only imagine how confusing it must be for those who are learning the language as adults! :o
Yeah, "trashed" can also mean "drunk." ^_^ I forgot about that definition lol! and regarding the totaled thing, I agree that I think the word originated from having a complete "total loss" of a car, but I've been noticing more and more people using the word to mean a "medium/bad car accident" instead of what I tend to imagine a "total loss" might be (or maybe I watch too many action movies lol). I think this shift might be because most people my age drive old cars that aren't valued enough for insurance companies to actually cover any accident repair costs -- so they just pay the value of the car, even for a more minor accident. It would be so much better if insurance companies would pay the cost to *replace* the car. But, they just pay what the car is valued -- and sometimes it's not enough money to buy a used car if the wrecked car is valued low... x_x
Hey fellow Coloradan! (Denver native here ) Regarding your hesitancy to use slang words around foreigners - it's better if you don't hold back. The goal for language learners is to sound as much like a native speaker as possible, and what better way for them to learn than to hear slang words/terms by native speakers in everyday speech 😊 Just my 2 cents
Sameee I'm from America too and I never really thought as these terms as "slang" 😂😂 these are like so normal for me ig u just assumed these are normal for everyone around the world but ig not😂
That's why it's difficult for non native speaker like me to understand what native speakers are saying. Slang words, idioms, phrasal verbs + too fast speaking + connected speech just like hell to my ears

I really have a blast when seeing this video. American English is the first foreign language i studied, when i was little. Then i started studying British English, i mean how to be more British. Today seeing your video makes me know how i love American accent, thankyou!
I found the best teaching channel ever! You are so smiling and it's great to learn it with your videos. Lessons could be longer to enjoy and have more fun😍 Thank you!! You're great!
I am an author, who writes in English even though I am not a native speaker. I love the American version of it. I have watched tens of videos like these.

I am highly impressed by how natural You are while speaking. It was amazing to watch you teach us these phrases! I promise to make a use of them :) Thank you so much. Best, Wiktor S.
I'm a native English speaker and I really didn't realize how much I actually use slang words until I watched this video lmao Edit: Why does this have likes lol
I'm a native teenage English speaker and I use maybe half of these words and not trying to be rude but she is using some of he words in the wrong context- I have never heard someone said "oh, I gotta bail" People usually say "hey I've gotta go" But me and my friend were talking and she said that one of our friends had bailed on us and stopped talking to us. That is how I personally would use it saying that someone has already left.
Hi there this is Joseph with you English is my foreign language and I'm preparing for the TOEFL exam so if you don't mind can I practice English with you
Hey Sam Graham Cartoons right, thats what i thought after hearing what she said. “going to the cinema” is said more in England, but here in the US we say “going to go see a movie” or “going to the movie theaters” or even “going to the movies”
Yeah, it's a late 90's slang. You can still hear Marine Corps Drill Instructors using it sarcastically, though. "WE WANNA HAVE OUR HANDS IN OUR POCKETS? TIGHT." Usually followed by horrible punishment. A lot of Marines use it in the Fleet because of this but we use it as much more of a joke.
I started to hear "tight" when I was around 12 in 1998. I think it's a word you learn when you hit that age (at least for me), because all my friends were getting into skating at that age. I stopped using it pretty quickly and didn't really hear anyone using it by the time I was wrapping up college in 2008.
I'm just gonna touch up (add too) on some of the slang you mentioned because some of them have multiple meaning depending on how it's used. Feeling Blue: It does mean sad, but it can also mean sick. Example: "I'm feeling blue (sick), i'm going to stay in tonight. Down To Earth: Someone who's Down to Earth is typically the type of person that's usually always very calm, relaxed, and down to do anything. Whatever plans you make, he/she will usually agree to join you if you ask, and they rarely say no unless they're busy. They're good people to have around because they almost never bring negativity into anything and are always positive. For Real: For real does mean Honestly, but it can also be used as "really/seriously". For example "I For Real want some ice-cream right now" I Plead The Fifth: You really only use this as slang when you know you did something, but you don't want to directly admit to it but you still kind of want to tell the truth at the same time. You usually say it as a question also. For example: Person A: Did you eat all my ice-cream? Person B: I plead the fifth? Person A: I knew it! You're always eating my stuff. It can also be use as "I'm not telling you" but no one really uses it like too much. Sweet: This as a couple meanings. It does mean nice as in "Aww you're a sweet person", but it also means "that's cool" or just "cool" For Example: Person A: Dude, look at this new car that was just released. Person B: Wow, that's sweet looking. Tight: Tight also has a couple meaning. Tight can be used as "close". Fore example, if someone is driving and they come close to crashing, they might say. "Thank god, that was tight" Tight can also mean cool or good looking. For example: "That new outfit you have is tight(good looking)" or "This new phone feature is tight(cool)". It's also used to describe confined spaces. Tight can also mean close friends. For Example: Person A: "Have you guys been friends for a long time?" Person B: "Yeah, we're tight" Trash: Trash does mean to destroy something. "i trashed my car". It can also used to tell someone they're bad at something. "Dude, you're trash at driving" It can also be used as "that sucks" or "that's stupid" For example: Person A: "Did you hear that you can't plug regular earphones into the new IPHONE" Person B: "For real? That's trash(That's stupid/sucks) Babe: This one is used in a lot of different ways. One way is to describe a woman as attractive. Example: "That girl was a babe" Another way it's used is by close female friends (best friends) referring to each. For Example: Female A: "Hey, how are you?" Female B: "Hey babe! I'm good, how are you?" Another way babe is used is by two partners in a relationship. It's very common here that a boyfriend and girlfriend or whatever will call each other Babe instead of calling each other by their birth names. Another way babe is used is by Mothers calling their daughter and or son babe. A father will only call his daughter babe and partner babe. Example: Mother: "Hey babe what's wrong? Why are you crying" Mother could be talking to her son or daughter Father: "Hey babe what's wrong? Why are you crying" Father only calls daughter and partner babe, not his son. Babe can also be used by an older women talking to someone who's younger. For example: Younger customer: "Hey, can you tell me what isle the tool kits are in?" Older woman at work: "Sure babe, they're right over here:" Babe can also be used by creeps to refer to a female. For example: Creep: "Hey there babe, what're you doing later tonight?" Female: "Nothing that involves you" So yeah, it has quite a lot of meanings. Just gotta be careful how you use it, and pay attention to how it's used towards you. Hope this helped anyone. But just be aware. We have a LOT of slang. And a LOT of those slangs have multiple meanings. Some slang words have a bad and good meaning. For example: "Dummy" Dummy is how some friends refer to each other, but it can also be used as an insult. Example Friend A: "Hey dummy, you coming out tonight" referring to his friend Friend B: "Yeah bro, send me the cords(coordinates)" Example 2: Friend A: "He threw a ball through my window" Friend B: "Yeah, he's a real dummy" used as an insult. Just keep in mind that you might hear things that sound like insults, but really aren't. Us Americans try to replace as much words as we can with slang. So sometimes you might hear sentences that sounds like it made absolutely no sense.
i have subscribed to your channel and have also clicked the bell icon because you kept on smiling in the whole video... that "gave me a blast" "for real"
I m a college potato. I can crash everywhere. So everybody call me " creep". For real I feel blue about that.but now I ignore them on purpose( I give them a cold shoulder)
creep is a word you never want to be called. It usually means that you are a person you shouldnt be around. An example is someone who is a pervert is called a creep
My name is Khushi and I am from India I really like your vedios and they are help full for me to speak english in my daily life and to see English movies...... Thanks a loooooooot!🥰
This is very interesting to know. I'm learning English and all the time I hear american people say many words that doesn't make sense for me because I'm learning the formal words but I never imagined that they make use of slang words in their daily conversation. I just realized that is important to learn slang words this way you can better understand any native English speaker, these are patterns for communicating. Pst: This is the best way I could wrote this comment in my poor English lol
That's a great path to take, but don't overdue it. Using too much slang can be seen as offensive to other groups and very disrespectful in certain situations.
Do NOT listen to her and believe what she says to be true. She is consistently wrong and doesn't listen to the hundreds telling her in every video she creates. Her videos are always, (no exaggeration), with multiple errors, yet she keeps them up, regardless. She knows less than about 95% of native English-speakers. Not be one video is error free, it's madness!
Love this video, but a couple comments: 1. In the video sample for "How's that feel, blue?", he's just cheering against the "blue" team in the blue shirts - it's not related to "feeling blue". 2. "By the skin of my teeth" means (as you correctly said, just barely) but we would never use it in that context ("Did you hurt yourself?"). It's only used when the result is positive, for example, "Did you pass the test? By the skin of my teeth," but never in the negative, such as, "Did you fail the test? By the skin of my teeth."
Thank you so much by watching your videos I had a blast .you got me the new vocabularies and as slangs that this help me a lot .I thought watching your videos I'll be get next level up soon.
Babe, is mostly used as a nickname for a girlfriend/wife, it can be used for a random stranger but that is considered rude. wheels I don't hear often, I have heard it but its not something too common here in the midwest, I hear ride alot more, as in "I brought my own ride today." meaning I drove my car today.
mason depends on where you live. In the south people use it loosely at least where I am at, it can mean friend. You can sort of use it interchangeably with hun. Of course it’s more common among older folks.
Thanks for the video! As a native speaker, it's fun to hear things I've grown up with explained in such basic terms. Just wanna add something in the interest of accuracy. On #3, "by the skin of my teeth," Marina's contextual usage, "I hurt myself by the skin of my teeth" is not correct. "By the skin of my teeth" does mean "just barely" but it's only applicable in specific contexts. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to nail down a type of context where it would work. The best I can think of is that it applies when you "accomplished" something in some way, such as winning a race, getting a job, or even escaping an accident. It's meant to downplay a "victory" of sorts. Therefore, the cinematic example of James Bond passing a test "by the skin of his teeth" does work, but Marina hurting herself "by the skin of her teeth" does not work.
While "by the skin of my teeth" does mean "just barely" you wouldn't use it like that. Its more like "I missed hitting that care by the skin of my teeth" or "I survived that fall by the skin of my teeth." More like a "near miss" situation.

Gamer Revolution yeah not really. Some of the words came from the US, some came from the Bible, and some came from the UK. English speaking countries pretty much share the same slang. American TV has influenced other English speaking countries slang, and British, Australian, and Canadian TV has influenced American slang. By the skin of my teeth came from the Bible. Job 19:20 says My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth." The word the earliest written proof for the word buck came from the US. Conrad Weiser coined the term while traveling through what is now Ohio. He said "while traveling through Indian country I was robbed of 300 bucks."
Wait until you go by region slang, depending on what state your from, your slang can be similar or entirely different! It took me years to realize this because my family is from the south, so not all slang is similar to those who live up north or out further west. Since my father is from New York and my mother is from Alabama, I got a mixture of both, but occasionally I throw one out that confuses my friends.
I keep seeing comments that say “ I have a blast watching this video” If you’re speaking in the past tense then the proper sentence would be “I HAD a blast watching this video”
I'm not talking about someone who is simply watching the video, I'm talking about someone who has watched it and probably plans to watch it again in the future. When I watch this video, I have a blast.
Okay Marina. Good job. Here are a few tweaks on some of the slang you are using. (Slang is my native language.) You missed the definition on "by the skin of my teeth" it should mean something like "catastrophe was avoided by just the smallest amount possible". And "crash" doesn't mean "abruptly" falling asleep. It means I am "so tired" that I have to have sleep. Or I was "so tired" that I crashed. The concept of being too tired is much more important than the speed with you fall sleep. 'Zonked' or 'zonked out' would be more about the speed. "Fading" would be a slow crash. Tight has many other slang uses. Trash also has many other uses. Babe also as more uses than just just hotness. See Babe Ruth, etc. And 'fail' is a fail in language and reveals a kind of poor imagination. Total failure is stronger. 'Fail' sounds cutesy. But I don't think anyone's going to have problems using your definitions. Thanks.
"I almost hit a deer with my a car, but I missed it by the skin of my teeth" "I saw the baby about to go down the stairs, but by the skin of my teeth I managed to grab him" pretty much it goes like this-"(This bad event) could've happened but I managed to prevent it by the skin of my teeth."
linguamarina when I use crash it can mean “to fall asleep abruptly” or be used in the same way as “passed out” when taking about falling asleep. I thought your use of “epic fail” was spot on, though other terms like “trash”(deliberately destroy or vandalize something) and “babe” (can also be a term you call your bf or gf) and a couple others were a little off. Overall this was a really great slang guide!
Whoa people, I just found a word that perfectly suits me "coach potato" - Thanks linguamarina - so sweet! P.S. I'm just lying on the couch on the right side and writing this comment with my left hand 😉
"Skin of my teeth" actually is used as, just barely, typically with a negative connotation. As in, I missed being hit by that car by the skin of my teeth.
nice ride = nice car where you at? = where are you? to bounce = to leave abruptly paper chasing = at the workplace, trying to earn money I'm down [for that]/i'm game = sure, i'll participate! Get out! = you're kidding! GET THE (^*bleep*^) OUT! = (angry or in utter shock and disbelief at what has just happened or what was just said or presented...... or really, pleasantly surprised... like after having just won the Lottery!!!)
Here are the words that I talk about in this video:
1. to bail = to leave abruptly
2. to feel blue = to feel sad
3. buck = dollar
4. by the skin of my teeth = just barely
5. creep = strange person
6. stalker = somebody who is constantly following you in a n annoying way
7. coach potato = a lazy person who spends the bulk of their time engaged in things that can be done while sitting on a couch
8. to crash = to fall asleep abruptly
9. down to Earth = and adjective for practicality and lack of pretense
10. for real = a proclamation of honesty
11. cold shoulder = a metaphor for deliberately ignoring someone
12. plead the fifth = references the fifth amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which allows a witness in court to refuse questions on the grounds that they risk self-incrimination
13. screw up = to make a mistake, i.e. mess up
14. sweet = an adjective that describes something that is good, or nice
15. tight = an adjective that describes closeness between competitors, i.e. a tight competition
16. to trash = can be used as an intransitive verb for destruction
17. to wrap up = to finish
18. to hang out = to spend time relaxing
19. wheels = car
20. babe = if you refer to someone as a babe, it means that you think they’re hot and attractive
21. to get busted = to get caught
22. to have a blast = to enjoy doing something
23. epic fail = complete disaster

Ang i guess you're muslim !!!
Top Commenter yes I do. But I am not muslim
Absolutely!! I had a blast watching the video!!
I'm a native English speaker and I really didn't realize how much I actually use slang words until I watched this video lmao
Edit: Why does this have likes lol
I'm a native teenage English speaker and I use maybe half of these words and not trying to be rude but she is using some of he words in the wrong context- I have never heard someone said "oh, I gotta bail" People usually say "hey I've gotta go" But me and my friend were talking and she said that one of our friends had bailed on us and stopped talking to us. That is how I personally would use it saying that someone has already left.
I had no idea these were even slang cause I use them so much 😂
Hi there this is Joseph with you
English is my foreign language and I'm preparing for the TOEFL exam so if you don't mind can I practice English with you
Same lmao
@@Taylor_popp Oh I thought she was a native English speaker. Thanks for your help
Americans dont say "going to the cinema," they say "go to see a movie" ;)
Hey Sam Graham Cartoons right, thats what i thought after hearing what she said. “going to the cinema” is said more in England, but here in the US we say “going to go see a movie” or “going to the movie theaters” or even “going to the movies”
Yeah I just say "going to the movies." Lol
You could also say, "I'm going to see a flick."
do you say “ going to watch a movie” ?
No. "I say I'm going to catch a flick."
Girl I love the way you speak and you're beautiful too 😁

“Tight” also use to be a slang word for “cool” so one might say “wow! The car is tight!” But it doesn’t really get used like that anymore
Yeah, it's a late 90's slang. You can still hear Marine Corps Drill Instructors using it sarcastically, though. "WE WANNA HAVE OUR HANDS IN OUR POCKETS? TIGHT." Usually followed by horrible punishment. A lot of Marines use it in the Fleet because of this but we use it as much more of a joke.
@@nickolasrichmond8739 Late 90s? I used that word in the 80s.
I started to hear "tight" when I was around 12 in 1998. I think it's a word you learn when you hit that age (at least for me), because all my friends were getting into skating at that age. I stopped using it pretty quickly and didn't really hear anyone using it by the time I was wrapping up college in 2008.
You are my fav teacher thank you so much i really speak different English now and slangs love from Uganda
I'm just gonna touch up (add too) on some of the slang you mentioned because some of them have multiple meaning depending on how it's used.
Feeling Blue: It does mean sad, but it can also mean sick. Example: "I'm feeling blue (sick), i'm going to stay in tonight.
Down To Earth: Someone who's Down to Earth is typically the type of person that's usually always very calm, relaxed, and down to do anything. Whatever plans you make, he/she will usually agree to join you if you ask, and they rarely say no unless they're busy. They're good people to have around because they almost never bring negativity into anything and are always positive.
For Real: For real does mean Honestly, but it can also be used as "really/seriously". For example "I For Real want some ice-cream right now"
I Plead The Fifth: You really only use this as slang when you know you did something, but you don't want to directly admit to it but you still kind of want to tell the truth at the same time. You usually say it as a question also. For example:
Person A: Did you eat all my ice-cream?
Person B: I plead the fifth?
Person A: I knew it! You're always eating my stuff.
It can also be use as "I'm not telling you" but no one really uses it like too much.
Sweet: This as a couple meanings. It does mean nice as in "Aww you're a sweet person", but it also means "that's cool" or just "cool" For Example:
Person A: Dude, look at this new car that was just released.
Person B: Wow, that's sweet looking.
Tight: Tight also has a couple meaning. Tight can be used as "close". Fore example, if someone is driving and they come close to crashing, they might say. "Thank god, that was tight" Tight can also mean cool or good looking. For example: "That new outfit you have is tight(good looking)" or "This new phone feature is tight(cool)". It's also used to describe confined spaces. Tight can also mean close friends. For Example:
Person A: "Have you guys been friends for a long time?"
Person B: "Yeah, we're tight"
Trash: Trash does mean to destroy something. "i trashed my car". It can also used to tell someone they're bad at something.
"Dude, you're trash at driving" It can also be used as "that sucks" or "that's stupid" For example:
Person A: "Did you hear that you can't plug regular earphones into the new IPHONE"
Person B: "For real? That's trash(That's stupid/sucks)
Babe: This one is used in a lot of different ways. One way is to describe a woman as attractive.
Example: "That girl was a babe" Another way it's used is by close female friends (best friends) referring to each. For Example:
Female A: "Hey, how are you?"
Female B: "Hey babe! I'm good, how are you?"
Another way babe is used is by two partners in a relationship. It's very common here that a boyfriend and girlfriend or whatever will call each other Babe instead of calling each other by their birth names.
Another way babe is used is by Mothers calling their daughter and or son babe. A father will only call his daughter babe and partner babe. Example:
Mother: "Hey babe what's wrong? Why are you crying" Mother could be talking to her son or daughter
Father: "Hey babe what's wrong? Why are you crying" Father only calls daughter and partner babe, not his son.
Babe can also be used by an older women talking to someone who's younger. For example:
Younger customer: "Hey, can you tell me what isle the tool kits are in?"
Older woman at work: "Sure babe, they're right over here:"
Babe can also be used by creeps to refer to a female. For example:
Creep: "Hey there babe, what're you doing later tonight?"
Female: "Nothing that involves you"
So yeah, it has quite a lot of meanings. Just gotta be careful how you use it, and pay attention to how it's used towards you.
Hope this helped anyone. But just be aware. We have a LOT of slang. And a LOT of those slangs have multiple meanings. Some slang words have a bad and good meaning. For example: "Dummy" Dummy is how some friends refer to each other, but it can also be used as an insult. Example
Friend A: "Hey dummy, you coming out tonight" referring to his friend
Friend B: "Yeah bro, send me the cords(coordinates)"
Example 2:
Friend A: "He threw a ball through my window"
Friend B: "Yeah, he's a real dummy" used as an insult.
Just keep in mind that you might hear things that sound like insults, but really aren't. Us Americans try to replace as much words as we can with slang. So sometimes you might hear sentences that sounds like it made absolutely no sense.
Awesome thanks👌
thanksss

For those who aren’t fluent, when saying “plead the fifth” she pronounced plead as “plad” it is pronounced ‘pleed’:)

Or she could be saying "plead" as in read vs. read

i would love to help u improve your English!!
This is very interesting to know. I'm learning English and all the time I hear american people say many words that doesn't make sense for me because I'm learning the formal words but I never imagined that they make use of slang words in their daily conversation. I just realized that is important to learn slang words this way you can better understand any native English speaker, these are patterns for communicating.
Pst: This is the best way I could wrote this comment in my poor English lol
That's a great path to take, but don't overdue it. Using too much slang can be seen as offensive to other groups and very disrespectful in certain situations.
Do NOT listen to her and believe what she says to be true. She is consistently wrong and doesn't listen to the hundreds telling her in every video she creates. Her videos are always, (no exaggeration), with multiple errors, yet she keeps them up, regardless. She knows less than about 95% of native English-speakers. Not be one video is error free, it's madness!
Love this video, but a couple comments:
1. In the video sample for "How's that feel, blue?", he's just cheering against the "blue" team in the blue shirts - it's not related to "feeling blue".
2. "By the skin of my teeth" means (as you correctly said, just barely) but we would never use it in that context ("Did you hurt yourself?"). It's only used when the result is positive, for example, "Did you pass the test? By the skin of my teeth," but never in the negative, such as, "Did you fail the test? By the skin of my teeth."
I just assumed that blue thing was a joke but maybe it wasn't
Can you give your WhatsApp number Sir? I want to talk with you for improving my English

Thank you so much by watching your videos I had a blast .you got me the new vocabularies and as slangs that this help me a lot .I thought watching your videos I'll be get next level up soon.
Tight also can be used to say : I’m tight on the money: I don’t have a lot of money
Also I'm tight as I'm pissed
Tight can also mean nice or cool for example “I got a promotion” “oh tight”
This is best Channel i Have ever seen at YT🌈❤
I just wrapped up my work and watch your videos. I have a blast. Your so down to earth.😍🙏
Marina i like the way u write everything in the comment box for us we are very thankful of u...🥰
Babe, is mostly used as a nickname for a girlfriend/wife, it can be used for a random stranger but that is considered rude. wheels I don't hear often, I have heard it but its not something too common here in the midwest, I hear ride alot more, as in "I brought my own ride today." meaning I drove my car today.
mason depends on where you live. In the south people use it loosely at least where I am at, it can mean friend. You can sort of use it interchangeably with hun. Of course it’s more common among older folks.
Where I'm from it's "whip" not "wheels"
I had a blast
Teaching first time American tourists to plead the fifth. Nice.
Alec Ryan seems legit to me you know the cops are out of control rt now,so they should know this 😂😂😂
andrea burns they are, huh? I'm assuming you get all your information from CNN, BBC, and BuzzFeed?
Alec Ryan I assume you get all of your propaganda from Fox and infowars.
Megalus Doomslayer nope, I actually look at everyone, from Breitbart all the way to USA today.
I am from Bangladesh.... your video is really informative..... your speech is really clear... especially for me....thank you.....
"Marina , I was all ears ." !
This video is goat .
Generally wheels isn't used often, but you might hear it. "I've got my own ride" is more likely, meaning you have your own car
How about 'Whip?'
Omg i just found my first favourite female youtuber! She is clever, she is beautiful and i just love her educable content. Great job buddy!
I'm an Indian...n your videos are helping me a lot to improve my vocabulary and slangs in English..... Thank you....keep doing such videos
Thanks for the video! As a native speaker, it's fun to hear things I've grown up with explained in such basic terms.
Just wanna add something in the interest of accuracy. On #3, "by the skin of my teeth," Marina's contextual usage, "I hurt myself by the skin of my teeth" is not correct.
"By the skin of my teeth" does mean "just barely" but it's only applicable in specific contexts. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to nail down a type of context where it would work. The best I can think of is that it applies when you "accomplished" something in some way, such as winning a race, getting a job, or even escaping an accident. It's meant to downplay a "victory" of sorts. Therefore, the cinematic example of James Bond passing a test "by the skin of his teeth" does work, but Marina hurting herself "by the skin of her teeth" does not work.
This one along with 'bail' was confusing to me, thank you for the clarification!
I was about to say something about ‘skin of your teeth’ too
This one is blast!🔥❤
1:17 I just imagined someone watching that clip and walking up to someone and asking at the top of his/her lungs HOWS THAT FEEL BLUE
I always write in my book i have a book just for your video idioms or slnag ect...keep going my lovely teacher
While "by the skin of my teeth" does mean "just barely" you wouldn't use it like that. Its more like "I missed hitting that care by the skin of my teeth" or "I survived that fall by the skin of my teeth." More like a "near miss" situation.
Keen :
There is no skin on your teeth a smilar to the phase: "Rarer then hen's teeth". Hens do not have teeth.
What the fuk is wrong with you Burt hollaburgh ameen jeez could u sound more logical rather than finding loopholes in what keen said
She's Clearly not a native speaker
@@zainababbas9387 why?
Tight can also mean that something is really good or cool. Ex: “woah your new car is so tight”
Also an ancient term for a full house in poker ("My tight beats your straight. Thanks for the money.")

I have lived in the States for over 13 years and I don't recall saying "by the skin of my teeth" ever. "Barely made it" is a lot more common.
Yuliya Vavilova hello , nice to meet you , i wanna improve my speak english, probably we can talk something , if you want, i have number whatsspp.. +62081281737252
Yuliya Vavilova yeah it’s more of an old saying like in the 90s
Alexis Clemmons can i ask your id instagram?
That is because you didn't live in the US in the in the 80's and 90's. I use it all the time, but I'm old.
Gamer Revolution yeah not really. Some of the words came from the US, some came from the Bible, and some came from the UK. English speaking countries pretty much share the same slang. American TV has influenced other English speaking countries slang, and British, Australian, and Canadian TV has influenced American slang.
By the skin of my teeth came from the Bible. Job 19:20 says My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth."
The word the earliest written proof for the word buck came from the US. Conrad Weiser coined the term while traveling through what is now Ohio. He said "while traveling through Indian country I was robbed of 300 bucks."
Wait until you go by region slang, depending on what state your from, your slang can be similar or entirely different! It took me years to realize this because my family is from the south, so not all slang is similar to those who live up north or out further west. Since my father is from New York and my mother is from Alabama, I got a mixture of both, but occasionally I throw one out that confuses my friends.
i had a blast watching and lerning new things
I keep seeing comments that say “ I have a blast watching this video”
If you’re speaking in the past tense then the proper sentence would be “I HAD a blast watching this video”
If they are repeatedly watching the video, then the first way could be right.
ShadoeLandman actually it would still be incorrect. For the present tense you would say “I’m having a blast watching this video.”
I'm not talking about someone who is simply watching the video, I'm talking about someone who has watched it and probably plans to watch it again in the future. When I watch this video, I have a blast.
ShadoeLandman I understand now. Yes, that would be correct.
Both ways are correct to say
When your'e an American native but still watching this
*(Edit: Grammar error)*
Emma Salcedo 😂

Happy to see a proud Amerindian like you celebrating to be a native from America, a beautiful continent.
When you’re an American native, and you can’t use the right you’re/your.
Okay Marina. Good job. Here are a few tweaks on some of the slang you are using. (Slang is my native language.) You missed the definition on "by the skin of my teeth" it should mean something like "catastrophe was avoided by just the smallest amount possible". And "crash" doesn't mean "abruptly" falling asleep. It means I am "so tired" that I have to have sleep. Or I was "so tired" that I crashed. The concept of being too tired is much more important than the speed with you fall sleep. 'Zonked' or 'zonked out' would be more about the speed. "Fading" would be a slow crash. Tight has many other slang uses. Trash also has many other uses. Babe also as more uses than just just hotness. See Babe Ruth, etc. And 'fail' is a fail in language and reveals a kind of poor imagination. Total failure is stronger. 'Fail' sounds cutesy. But I don't think anyone's going to have problems using your definitions. Thanks.
Thanks a lot!! Still a lot to learn :)
If you ever need someone to run your slang by let me know! Slang mutates all the time here.
Would you please use by the skin of my teeth in a sentence? Thank you!
"I almost hit a deer with my a car, but I missed it by the skin of my teeth"
"I saw the baby about to go down the stairs, but by the skin of my teeth I managed to grab him"
pretty much it goes like this-"(This bad event) could've happened but I managed to prevent it by the skin of my teeth."
linguamarina when I use crash it can mean “to fall asleep abruptly” or be used in the same way as “passed out” when taking about falling asleep. I thought your use of “epic fail” was spot on, though other terms like “trash”(deliberately destroy or vandalize something) and “babe” (can also be a term you call your bf or gf) and a couple others were a little off. Overall this was a really great slang guide!
Thanks a lot ma'am. . I really have a blast.....
'Tight' can also mean awesome or cool. Like: That's tight!
Your accent sounds...erm...I dunno? 😂

"Skin of my teeth" actually is used as, just barely, typically with a negative connotation. As in, I missed being hit by that car by the skin of my teeth.
Oh thanks for explaining it more
Yep! Like I just barely passed that exam by the skin of my teeth.
nice ride = nice car
where you at? = where are you?
to bounce = to leave abruptly
paper chasing = at the workplace, trying to earn money
I'm down [for that]/i'm game = sure, i'll participate!
Get out! = you're kidding!
GET THE (^*bleep*^) OUT! = (angry or in utter shock and disbelief at what has just happened or what was just said or presented...... or really, pleasantly surprised... like after having just won the Lottery!!!)
