  • Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. I'm Feifei.

  • And I'm Rob.

  • Hey Rob, thanks for this ice cream.

  • I love ice cream - but why are we eating it now?

  • As a treat, Feifei! This is my homemade ice cream.

  • Yum. It tastes good.

  • Tastes good, you say? Just good ?

  • Well - it's not bad.

  • Not bad?! Honestly Feifei, there is no pleasing you sometimes. Is there something missing?

  • Rob - it's awesomesauce!

  • You want sauce on it? Why didn't you say? What do you want - strawberry, chocolate, caramel?

  • No, I was actually being nice.

  • Awesomesauce is an informal way to describe something that is extremely good or amazing.

  • It was a compliment, Rob!

  • Listen to these other examples of 'awesomesauce'.

  • My wife is awesomesauce - she's just served me breakfast in bed as it's my birthday!

  • This peanut butter and banana milkshake is awesomesauce - can I have some more, please?

  • Hey! I got top grades in all my exams. Awesomesauce!

  • You're listening to The English We Speak from BBC Learning English and we're looking at the word awesomesauce, which is an informal way of describing that something is extremely good, amazing or incredible.

  • And your homemade ice cream is amazing, Rob!

  • Oh, thanks very much. I don't know what to say.

  • You can also say 'awesomesauce'.

  • The word can also be used to say you are very very pleased with something.

  • OK then - awesomesauce! If it's that good, I must try some too - with strawberry sauce on.

  • You must, Rob, it tastes great!

  • Oh no - not awesomesauce.

  • What's wrong?

  • I didn't put it back in the freezer - it's melted!

  • You had better go and make some more. Bye.

  • Bye bye!

Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. I'm Feifei.
