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!
