This is The English We Speak, with me Feifei.

Hey, Feifei, you know this is the programme

where we teach an authentic English phrase?

Well, I just wondered if today, we didn't. We did something else?

No! We have to teach an English phrase — no ifs or buts.

But if we sang a song for a change, it might be more fun.

We're here to teach English, and that's the phrase we're teaching this time.

it means there is 'no negotiation, no compromise, and no excuses' —

Hmm, and do we have to have some examples?

No ifs or buts — you have to be in bed by ten o'clock.

We've all got to work really hard to complete this project by the deadline —

No ifs or buts, this is the best restaurant I have ever eaten at.

In this The English We Speak from BBC Learning English,

we're talking about the phrase 'no ifs or buts',

which can be said to mean 'no negotiation, compromise or excuses' —

So, Rob, no ifs or buts: we are here to teach an English phrase.

OK, I've got it — no singing, no dancing, just teaching.

Rob, if you want to do some dancing, go ahead,

but we should invite everyone to come and watch.

Hmm, you're right, no ifs or buts — let's stick to teaching an English phrase.

Very wise. And no ifs or buts, we have to go now.

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

I love Halloween, Feifei. Are you looking forward to trick or treating?

No fear? You mean yes, fear! Halloween's all about fear!

What's not to like? There's ghosts and witches and jack-o'-lanterns!

Come on, Feifei! Get on your broomstick and let's go!

Why do you keep saying 'no fear', Feifei? You're kind of missing the point.

'No fear' is an expression which actually means 'certainly not', 'no way'.

So, by saying 'no fear', you mean 'absolutely not'.

That's right. Let's hear some examples before my legs turn to jelly.

Why don't we stay in tonight and watch golf on the TV?

Golf?! No fear. I'd do anything other than watch golf.

This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning English.

We're learning the expression 'no fear', which means 'absolutely not', 'no way'.

So come on, Feifei, fear is fun. Let's go trick or treating!

Actually, Rob, what's that thing behind you?

But it's just reaching out a bony hand and about to touch your shoulder.

Well, at least that gets me out of Halloween for another year. Bye!

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

Neil! You're wearing a dressing gown to work!

I'm trying to look really relaxed today, so I put a dressing gown over my suit!

It would look strange with a dressing gown. Why would you say that?

We say 'no cap' when we want to reinforce

that what we are saying is the absolute truth.

Ahh, so you think I look relaxed then, in my dressing gown?

Well, I actually said you look like you're heading to bed,

I'm not sure it's the best thing to wear at work. No cap!

Oh, dear, perhaps I should take it off and just stick to the suit.

Good idea! You can do that while we listen to these examples.

That new song is the best thing I've ever heard! No cap!

No cap, you're the funniest person I know. You always make me laugh!

I don't like those mushrooms. No cap, they taste awful.

You're listening to The English We Speak from BBC Learning English,

and we're talking about the expression 'no cap'.

We use 'no cap' to mean 'no lie' and to say something is the truth.

Yes. We can also say 'capping' to mean 'lying'.

By the way, did I tell you that I won the lottery?

Stop capping, Neil! You didn't win the lottery.

I'm not capping. I won the lottery, no cap!

So, if you won a million pounds, why are you still working?

Well, first off, I love my job, no cap. I'd do it even if I won the lottery.
