Show 1318 Tuesday 28 September
Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show. Today’s movie is called Easy A. It’s an American romantic comedy that’s just been released in the United States.
From what you can see in the trailer, this movie is about a high school girl who pretends to sleep with lots of guys. So she gets a reputation as being someone who has many sexual partners, but it’s not actually true.
This is a poster for the film. There are lots of words written in chalk on a blackboard all pointing to her.
harlot
flirt
tramp
temptress
tart
floozy
cheap
easy
trollop
Those words all have similar meanings.
For example:
trollop old-fashioned, offensive a woman who has many sexual partners
floozy old-fashioned, informal, disapproving a woman who has sexual relationships with many different men
easy informal, disapproving (of women) willing to have sex with many different people
STICK NEWS
Kia ora in Stick News today a man who was pronounced dead and taken to a morgue made a full recovery after an undertaker noticed him breathing.
An ambulance service in the UK published a 3-year report which included
an incident in 2007 when a patient was taken to a morgue when he was still alive.
The report said paramedics ran a series of checks before saying the man was dead.
But when the body arrived at the morgue an undertaker noticed the man was still breathing and he later made a full recovery.
And that was Stick News for Tuesday the 28th of September.
Kia ora.
Should I include the time we accidentally burnt that guy alive?
Nah, better leave that one out.
Shouldn’t we check to see if he’s really dead?
Nah, he looks dead enough to me! And happy hour’s almost over …
Wow, this dead guy’s snoring!
Word of the Day
Today’s word is tramp.
Tramp can mean a woman who has many sexual partners, like on the poster for today’s movie.
And it can also mean a homeless person.
But in New Zealand tramp usually means a kind of walk.
In New Zealand we wouldn’t usually say: I’m going hiking this weekend.
We’d usually say: I’m going tramping this weekend.
