  • was playing the angry girlfriend

  • imagining that the boyfriend had come

  • home very late stinking of booze when

  • they had arranged to go on a date for

  • their anniversary

  • so let's go back and look at some of

  • those sections again so she started off

  • saying what time do you call this? This

  • is the phrase we use regularly to mean

  • you're late

  • what time do you call this it will

  • either be said in anger

  • or sarcastically if you don't mind that

  • someone's late you might joke about and

  • say

  • she then says have you completely

  • forgotten what day it is? she doesn't mean

  • have you forgotten what day of the week

  • it is

  • I'm sure he knows whether it's monday

  • tuesday wednesday thursday friday

  • saturday or sunday but she's asking does

  • he not remember why today is special

  • because it's an anniversary

  • has he forgotten that today is an

  • anniversary. in relationships in the UK

  • we tend to celebrate anniversaries for

  • not only weddings but also for when we

  • got together with our boyfriends or

  • girlfriends so if you've been dating

  • somebody for one year you'll have a

  • one-year anniversary

  • she also said i was asking too much

  • we use this phrase a lot sometimes posed as

  • a question am I asking too much? is this

  • beyond what you are able to give me

  • we also heard the phrase i wasn't born

  • yesterday

  • this means I'm not naive or I'm not

  • stupid

  • if you are born yesterday of course you

  • would be very young and you wouldn't

  • understand what was going on so she's

  • saying look I'm not stupid i wasn't born

  • yesterday she also questioned whether

  • he's been seeing someone else behind her

  • back

  • now of course he is seeing people

  • everyday so of course he's seeing other

  • people but to be seeing someone else

  • means to be meeting up with someone or

  • dating someone outside of your committed

  • relationship

  • so if you're married you might be having

  • an affair which could also be referred

  • to as seeing someone else and we say

  • seeing someone else behind my back or

  • behind their back to be doing it

  • secretly without that person knowing i

  • hope that you aren't seeing someone else

  • behind my back she asked him do you have

  • nothing to say for yourself

  • we use this phrase a lot too. have you

  • anything to say for yourself it will

  • usually be said by someone angry

  • what have you got to say for yourself

  • this just means what is your explanation

  • or don't you have an explanation

  • don't you have anything to say for

  • yourself and then she says I'm done

  • she basically means i'm finished the

  • relationship is finished I don't want to

  • do this anymore i'm done it's over

  • good and with that I am done and it is

  • over and it's time to say goodbye i hope
