-
Yeah.
-
Hi, mom.
-
Yeah.
-
Yup.
-
Sorry, what'd you say?
-
No, no, I'm making a video.
-
Yeah.
-
No, I got time to talk, yeah.
-
Hold, hold...
-
What?
-
What's wrong?
-
Ahh.
-
My phone keeps on turning off and my mom...
-
Mom, can you hear me?
-
Hello?
-
Hello?
-
Hello?
-
No, it's Ronnie.
-
Yup, yeah, yup.
-
Good.
-
Nope.
-
It's my phone.
-
My phone's buggy.
-
Yeah.
-
Yeah.
-
Uh-huh.
-
No.
-
Ah, ah.
-
Aw.
-
Does this happen to you?
-
You're doing something on your phone or you're making a phone call, and all of a sudden your
-
phone stops working?
-
We've got some slang words for this.
-
It's called "buggy".
-
So, if you look at the board behind me, I'm going to teach you some slang.
-
And the root word is "a bug".
-
So you guys know...
-
Might know one of my best friends, the lady bug, who's actually a beetle.
-
As a noun in a dictionary, "a bug" is an insect.
-
Do you like insects?
-
Do you eat them?
-
No, okay, cool.
-
And it also can be a problem with computer.
-
So, you can say: "I have a bug in my laptop."
-
And you think: "Wow, there's like an insect in your laptop?"
-
And you go: "No, silly rabbit, 'a bug' means a problem."
-
So, if you've got a problem with a computer, maybe your tablet or your laptop or your phone,
-
you can say: "I have a problem" or "I have a bug with my computer" or "with my phone".
-
This always sucks, doesn't it?
-
Then we have some verbs to use in slang time.
-
If somebody "bugs" you, it means that they annoy you.
-
So, if you annoy someone, you maybe poke them a lot or call their name, like: "Hey, Ronnie.
-
Ronnie.
-
Ronnie.
-
Ronnie.
-
Ronnie."
-
Ronnie's busy, but you keep on calling my name.
-
Don't annoy me.
-
Don't bug me.
-
So, you can tell the person: "Hey.
-
Don't bug me.
-
Leave me alone.
-
I'm busy.
-
Okay?"
-
Another way that we use this in slang is when somebody gets angry at you or freaks out.
-
So, if you get angry, you freak out, you lose your temper, so: Do you have a mom?
-
Maybe...
-
Or a friend who always gets crazy, you can say: "Hey.
-
Don't be bugging on me."
-
We also have another slang word, it's called "tripping".
-
So it's the same thing.
-
"Don't be tripping."
-
It means: "Relax.
-
Don't yell at me.
-
Everything's fine.
-
Don't annoy me."
-
Don't get angry.
-
Don't freak out.
-
Everything's going to be cool, maybe.
-
My phone, my phone's "buggy" -- that means that it's not working correctly, there's something
-
wrong with my phone.
-
So this is an adjective.
-
I can say there's "a bug" in my phone, which would be a noun.
-
Or if I use it as an adjective: "My phone is buggy."
-
Do you watch spy movies or science-fiction movies?
-
And sometimes the people might say: "I can't talk on the line, it's not secure; my phone
-
is bugged."
-
Hmm.
-
This means if something is bugged that there is a microphone in it and someone is listening
-
to your conversation.
-
Hold on, and they're getting all of your information.
-
So, if something is bugged, it means that they're stealing your information, usually
-
on a phone.
-
Then we have the phrasal verb: "bugging out".
-
This has a lot to do with people who are on drugs.
-
So, for example, I can say: "He was bugging out on the bus."
-
If somebody's bugging out on the bus, they're like: "What's happening?
-
What's happening?"
-
They go a little crazy.
-
You kind of think that they're crazy.
-
It's probably just the crack that they've smoked.
-
But if somebody's bugging out on the bus, they seem really, really crazy.
-
So, you can say to them: "Don't bug me.
-
He's bugging out."
-
Another way that we use this is if something or someone makes you feel uncomfortable, you
-
can say: "He's making me bug out."
-
This means: He's making me feel uncomfortable.
-
You could also say: "He's bugging me out", which means this person has a bad vibe, and
-
it's making you feel uncomfortable.
-
Oh, mom.
-
Yeah.
-
No, finished the lesson.
-
Yeah.
-
Bug, yeah, my phone's not bugged, mom.
-
No, we're good. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, okay, don't... I... I'll be back.
-
Yeah. Okay. Yup. Mm-hmm. Okay.
