That is actually my question in another video? Where did he study English if he has not gone abroad (USA, for instance) to study English? I have been around some Japanese and they do have that Japanese accent which I hardly hear from Jun. I am guessing that he went to an international school in Japan to be able to pick that kind of accent.

I don't know about America but in Britain when we say "beat around the bush" we mean you're trying to get at a point or ask a question but you're not directly asking or saying it, for example instead of "hey, can I have your icecream?" you might say "oh, I'm really hungry for ice cream.....I'd really like some but I have no money...." etc hoping they'll offer you theirs or instead of saying to someone "no I will not do that favour for you" they might say "I would but [insert a load of reasons]"

I responded with “Bury the evidence.” The whole class looked at me and then I realized what I had just done. Again this was in front of my church.

For those that need to know: Elvis has left the building" is a phrase that was often used by public address announcers at the conclusion of Elvis Presley concerts in order to disperse audiences who lingered in hopes of an encore. It has since become a catchphrase and punchline. The phrase has since become a catchphrase and punchline, used to refer to anyone who has exited in some sense (even death). For instance, it might be used when someone makes a dramatic exit from an argument, to relieve tension among those who remain.” - Wikipedia

Although, I really shouldn't look the gift horse in the mouth here, since the quality of the video would have suffered trying to put the cart before the horse fitting in as many horse idioms as possible. Wow, I feel like I've been going on about this enough that wild horses couldn't drag me away.

One of my foreign friends told me about this wierd idiom once. It's hard for me to spell it in her language so I'll just translate it. "Rabbit ran to the south and the hunting dog ran to the north" It's from a story where a rabbit was running for its dear life and there were two separate paths ahead so it chose to go to the south path. The hunting dog, which was going after the rabbit, went along the north path. The idiom literally means the same as "Barking at the wrong tree" but in a more sarcastic way where the speaker compares a person to a dumb dog indirectly.

The german idiom (which is exactly the same) is: nem geschenkten Gaul schaut man nicht ins Maul.

The bullet from "bite the bullet" isn't the thing that you use in a gun. It was a thing made out of leather that you would bite down on, if you used the other type of bullet you would just lose your teeth!
@shannonw.8372 6 жыл бұрын
I'm sure they used whatever they could find to keep them biting their own tongues off, but sometimes they really did use bullets. My grandfather owned a bullet passed down from his grandfather. It was rather big, and so old the lead had oxidized completely white, and you could clearly see the teeth impressions left in it. Lead is quite soft! Softer than gold, which you can also mark with your teeth. I don't suppose they worried much about losing a tooth when they were about to lose a leg or an arm.

They would use real bullets, but they were lead shot so it was soft enough to bite down on.

"À cheval donné on ne regarde pas les dents" - french version. Why ? Because I wanted to. lol. Pronounciation ? ok : [ah - sh-uh-vall - doh-neh - french nasal sound "on" - nuh - ruh-gharr-duh - pah - leh - d- french nasal sound "en"] The "s" at the end of "pas" is mute, the "ts" at the end of "dents" is too. Translation ? "When presented with (yes, I didn't really know how to translate "à" in one word, but the meaning is there) a gift horse, one doesn't look (look in the sense "examine") its teeth".

In Germany we say: "Einem geschenkten Gaul schaut man nicht ins Maul." Which means: You don't look into the mouth of a gift horse. "Gaul" meaning something along the lines of old horse that's not in a good shape anymore. It's kind of a derogatory term, really.

"I have never received an English test, but the title is literally meaningful. Lol" - Jun
@RachelandJun 7 жыл бұрын
In Japan you can take standardized English tests and get a license certifying your English level to use on job applications and whatnot. Jun's title on this video is a play on the word English (eigo - 英語). Instead of using the correct kanji he switched the second kanji "go/語" for kanji that means "mistake/wrong -- 誤". So the title says, Certified Level 1 in Mistaken English. Some people didn't realize Jun was making a joke about himself so they commented, "Oh, you used the wrong kanji!" So here Jun is explaining, "I don't actually have an English certification. The title means literally what it says."
