and everyone and welcome back to english
with lucy today i’m going to be giving
you 12 phrases using the word all but
before we get into all of that see what
I did there I’d like to thank the
sponsor of today’s video
it is a talkie and if you’ve never heard
of AI talkie before it’s a huge online
database of both native and non-native
teachers who give one-to-one video
lessons 24/7 you can learn English and
over 100 other languages from anywhere
in the world as long as you have a
stable internet connection it’s an
incredibly affordable way of learning a
language much more affordable than doing
a one to one with an offline teacher or
attending a private language academy I
have so many students message me each
day asking how they can meet and talk to
native speakers I talking is a really
good option because there aren’t just
native teachers there are also native
community teachers which will help you
with your general fluency communication
and conversation they’ve given me an
amazing offer to pass on to you you can
get $10 worth of I talkie credits for
free when you make your first lesson
purchase all you’ve got to do to get
started is click on the link in the
description box and sign up number one
the be-all and end-all the be-all and
end-all is the ultimate aim the perfect
specimen of something or someone for
example if I say Cameron Diaz is the
be-all and end-all and basically saying
that I think she is perfect in every way
number two to be all for something or to
be all for doing something so to be all
for something is to say that you are a
hundred percent supportive of something
but you are insinuating that others
might not agree there might be practical
difficulties or other people might be
very anti whatever you’re trying to say
for example I am all for banning petrol
and making everybody use wind power on
their cars so if you’re all for
something you strongly believe it should
be done you
agree with it I am all for you
subscribing to my channel I said it what
can I do number three from all walks of
life normally you’d hear people from all
walks of life if I say there are people
from all walks of life I’m saying there
are people from all levels of society
they all have different jobs they all
have different salaries they all have
different morals for example the gym I
go to has people from all walks of life
there are members who are plumbers
doctors I can’t think of any other walks
of life teachers maybe some royalty who
knows as light as making me sneeze
number four all along all along we say
it all together all along it means from
the beginning if I’ve known something
all along I’ve known it from the
beginning
for example she’d been planning to leave
him all along
she’d been planning to leave him from
the very beginning number five all the
rage if something is all the rage it’s
very very popular very fashionable so I
could say do you remember when thin
eyebrows were all the rage so maybe when
we’re 80 years old we might say oh do
you remember when really thick eyebrows
were all the rage as we sit there with
shaved eyebrows I don’t know that’s a
random example but all the rage the next
one a free-for-all a free-for-all is
when loads of different groups of people
at all trying to get something for
themselves and there are no real ways of
controlling it it’s a chaotic situation
for example Black Friday in America is a
free-for-all there are people going in
grabbing TVs fighting brawling it’s a
free-for-all if you’re a shop owner a
free-for-all isn’t what you want number
seven to go all out if you go all out
you put all of your energy and
enthusiasm into something so for example
when I
host Halloween parties I go all out the
blood has walls on it the walls have
blood on it there are skeletons
everywhere I go all out number eight to
be all talk this is actually a short
version of the full phrase to be all
talk and no action but we often just say
to be all talk
if somebody’s all talk it means they
always talk about doing something but
they never actually do it maybe a
particularly flaky friend I think is
somebody who always quits at the last
minute and lets you down a very flaky
friend tells me they’re going to come
and help me out before a party I might
think to myself oh she’s all talk she’s
never going to actually do it number
nine to pull out all of the stops or all
the stops this means you use all of the
resources or force at your disposal for
example the police pulled out all the
stops to find the criminal they used
every resource all of their money they
would stop at nothing to find that
criminal I wish that were the case for
the person who stole my dad’s van the
other day however no stops were pulled
out by the police not a single one
anyway number 10 all in all this is one
my fiance likes to say a lot I’ve just
realised that I think it’s a habit but
anyway all in all means on the whole in
general for example all in all it’s been
a good year in general it’s been a good
year there have been some bad moments
but there have been way more good
moments so in general it’s good number
11
something I did a lot at university to
pull an all-nighter to pull an
all-nighter is to stay up all night
normally working or studying for example
I pulled an all-nighter writing this
essay and I still got a rubbish grade
and the last one number 12 and
know-it-all and the know-it-all is
somebody who believes believes is an
important word here believes they
know everything you know those people
that just they have an answer for
everything and if they’re wrong they
don’t accept it I know quite a few no
tools or should I say I did know quite a
few because I’ve cut them out of my life
