Hey there, let's get into this - gonna have a drink, because it's 2:00 somewhere, and

I'm kind of thirsty for some ginger wine.

So, sometimes I have a problem because this thing at the top of the bottle doesn't open.

And we actually have very specific words to take the top or the cap off of certain containers.

So, when you're hungry, you're going to get a snack going.

I'm going to teach you some phrasal verbs to help you when you have to open things.

First of all, probably the most important thing, and you know the quality of the wine

Now usually, I like a nice Spanish rioja, if anyone would like to donate a case.

And you can take off the cork, but this bottle - because it's cheap - we twist off the cap.

So, twist off means you actually turn it and that's a phrasal verb.

The next thing we can do - I have a bottle of sauce, and this sauce has a cap, okay?

A cap and a lid, very similar, but a cap doesn't come off all the way, and I flip up the cap.

And then I can squeeze out some sauce - not going to do that, not very delicious sauce.

So, if I flip up the lid, I do like this.

And we don't say "flip down the lid", we just flip up and close.

Now, because Ronnie's very healthy, I have some yogurt.

And I actually have to peel - I don't know, a lid.

It's not a sticker, but we can say I peel off the lid and then I eat it.

Now, apparently, I don't have a spoon, so I guess I'll save this for later.

So, peel off means you actually have to release something that's sticky.

And let's say that I have a pack of sugar, or bust into.

I can also use this for a bag of chips, because you just can't wait to eat those delicious

So, I can bust into - I open very quickly.

Sometimes, it makes a noise - boom - like an explosion of chips everywhere.

Be careful, you don't want to get chips all over your face.

Sometimes, you're going to hear this wonderful sound.

Maybe, for me, one of the best sounds in the world.

I have just cracked open - it's not a beer, it's a just drink.

So, we usually say, "Oh, I cracked open a beer", or I'm going to crack open a beer.

Some places in America say "soda", but in Canada and in some places in America, they

So, I cracked open a beer or I cracked open a pop, because it makes a sound like a crack.

Another thing I can do as a phrasal verb is take off.

And then I put on, so take off and the opposite of this is put on the marker.

This one is fun, too, because it actually makes the sound of a pop.

This one is going to be really popular, I think, in some time zones that we're in.

I have some soap, but this could also be hand sanitizer, maybe mayo?

So, I'm going to press this down and I say "pump out".

I'm not even going to pretend to eat this, because soap just isn't delicious.

So, if you have trouble, like I do, with opening things, at least now you know the phrasal

What's your favorite phrasal verb from this?
