  • Hello my name is Riccardo and welcome back to SPIKA presents Get the Vocab

  • the show that teaches you English using TV series

  • in this season we're going to talk about the big bang theory

  • in every video we talk about the key word of a specific episode

  • remember to watch this video first and then watch the episode

  • and after that, you can come on our website and check out some cool stuff that we have for you!

  • but now let's get started with the Big Bang Theory!

  • So the first word we are going to see today is

  • Now, "propensity" is when youdo something, and you usually do it always in the same way, naturally

  • so you have a propensity for it, let me give you an example...

  • when we go out, Vanessa has the propensity for drinking too much!

  • <"Oh! Come on!">

  • this has two meanings

  • literally speaking, "to snap" means to break something in half

  • metaphorically speaking, it means to become reeeeeeally angry, very quickly!

  • So for example: "when Hulk SNAPS, Hulk smash!"

  • It just means when you're very worried about someone

  • "honey, I am so concerned about you!"

  • Don't worry honey! It's going to be alright!

  • Yeah! I forced her to do it!

  • Now, the "Pursuit" is the action of going after someone or something

  • and it's very common in the news so for example you will hear...

  • The PURSUIT of the police ended up last night, at nine o'clock

  • and the criminal has been found to have 9624 pounds of cocaine on him

  • Back to you, john

  • these are two physical problems that someone can have

  • a LIMP is when you can't walk normally because you have a problem with your leg

  • so you walk like this:

  • a LAZY EYE is when you can't see properly from one of your eyes

  • and you have it closed almost always like this

  • "to have a shot" means to have the possibility to succeed at something

  • even if it's a little bit difficult, like...

  • This describes the action of a person who tries to have "physical contact"

  • with another one who doesn't want to

  • if they try to hard, it's called "sexual harassment"

  • and you can go to jail for it, so watch out!!!

  • now this verb just means we are able to do something

  • or you can take care of a situation which is very difficult, for example

  • This verb means when something is in your destiny so it MUST happen

  • or when you must do something for example we're BOUND by law

  • to buy the TV shows Ithat we watch

  • but we all do, right? ;)

  • now this verb just means when you can't make a decision between two important things

  • for example I'm torn between either moving to London or to Miami Beach

  • no... not really!

  • to carve means to create something by cutting the surface

  • like a statue!

  • the tool used to do it is a "Chisel".

  • all right, so that was it for today

  • thank you so much for watching, it means a to to us, and you know it!
