  • Try out for ah, the next phrase over biz tryout for try out for we used try out for two mean audition like in sports, but to audition for a team to apply to be a member of a team.

  • When you do that, you usually have to show your sports your your sports sporting experience.

  • Try out for work up the next phrase.

  • Oh verb is work up as in work up a sweat, work up a sweat we use work up a sweat to mean cause your body to sweat because of exercise.

  • That's true.

  • Or which team do you want to root for this weekend?

  • Work off the next phrase over biz.

  • Work off, work off.

  • So we talked about work up like work up a sweat.

  • But here the word is work off.

  • We can also use cheer for I'm going to cheer for my high school team.

  • I'm going to cheer for my college team because we're using the word cheer.

  • It sounds like we're going to use our voice or use our bodies to support that team.

  • Eso You see cheerleaders?

  • Ah, lot in movies, especially from the USA.

  • They're men and women, actually, but they were a A uniform and their role.

  • Their purpose is to, uh, help the audience cheer for that team to cheer for the team that they are, um, connected to.

  • But I think primarily it's used in boxing.

  • So to knock out your opponent or uh, like he's going to try to knock out his opponents in the last round.

  • Or did you see that guy get knocked out last night?

  • You can use knock out outside of sports, but it's usually used for fights.
