hello and welcome back to english with
lucy today we have another episode of my
fabulous five common british expressions
now before we get started make sure you
connect with me on all my social media
which is right here and I’ve got my
Instagram account obviously you can
subscribe to my YouTube you can also
like me on Facebook and for my Chinese
followers I have my Weibo account as
well okay so our first expression is a
piece of cake and this is very similar
to easy peasy lemon squeezy which we’ve
discussed in a previous video and
basically it means very easy so I might
come out of a particularly easy exam
saying that is that was a piece of cake
that exam was really easy so number two
break a leg actually looks really rather
cruel but I promise you it’s positive
and break a leg means good luck so
before a race before a job interview
before a test instead of saying good
luck I might say break a leg do really
well so since we’re talking about legs
let’s bring arms into the equation as
well number three is it cost an arm and
a leg and this basically means something
was really expensive if I say my back
cost a nominal leg I mean it costs a lot
of money
now the next one isn’t particularly nice
it is to pop one’s clogs and it actually
means to die but we use it quite
affectionately it’s like a nice way of
saying that someone’s died so I’m going
to a funeral this Sunday my neighbours
popped his clogs it’s a way of saying my
neighbours died but we don’t want to say
the death word so we say they pop their
clogs and then we have number five to
call it a day and this means to end a
task so for example I’m feeling a bit
tired I think I’ll call it a day that
means I think I’ll stop here let’s
finish so as we’ve come to number five I
think I’ll call it a day now bye
thank you so much for watching this
episode of five common British
expressions I
hope you liked it and I hope you learn
something make sure you connect with all
my social media as I said before and
have a very lovely week bye
this wine is off
