Go and get yourself one! But I thought you were bringing me one because I overheard you saying to Neil that I was really thirsty. Oh right. Sorry. You weren't meant to hear that. I meant that you're thirsty on social media. You're always posting photos of yourself trying to get compliments and attention. I most certainly am not. What makes you think that I post on social media just to get attention? I have seen some of your elaborate and ridiculous photos! You posted one the other day with a big rat and another where you were dressed as a superhero! I didn't do that to get attention - I'm not thirsty! And it wasn't a big rat, it was my dog! Right, let's listen to some examples. Geoff said Sandra's photos were attention- seeking. I told him she's thirsty. Stop being so thirsty. Why do you always have to post photos just to get attention? Vladimir is so thirsty. He's always sharing photos of himself and a puppy - just to get likes! This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning English and we're talking about the word 'thirsty', which is an adjective to describe people who are trying very hard to get attention and praise. I must admit - a lot of people on social media seem really thirsty. They're always posting photos to get likes. You can also say that someone is 'fishing for compliments'. Or 'attention-seeking'. That's another way of saying 'thirsty'. Which reminds me - you look really hot. Do you still want that drink of water? Yes, please! I'm really thirsty. Haha got you! I recorded you admitting that you're really thirsty. Next time you post something, I have proof. But I only wanted a drink. Get it yourself! Bye Roy! Oh Bye!
