Feifei: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak

And I have to say, Feifei, that's a very cool,

It's unusual to get a compliment from you!

But why are you wearing it in the studio?

I had to wear something to keep my head warm.

Can you pull it down a bit more, so it covers your eyes?

And it demonstrates the English phrase perfectly

Neil, does it mean 'not being able to see'

Neil: No. 'To pull the wool over somebody's eyes'

Feifei: Right. But you don't actually have to wear

Neil: You don't. But for now, keep the hat where

Examples: You can't pull the wool over my eyes!

He tried to pull the wool over the eyes of

the shareholders and not tell them the company

She'll find out you've been dating her best friend.

Feifei: You're listening to The English We Speak from

and we're finding out about the expression

So it's really about hiding something from someone?

Feifei: So are you pulling the wool over my eyes?

Neil: Ha ha! She'll never know I've taken the biscuits

Sorry, it was just funny looking at you like that!

Feifei: Pulling the wool over my eyes is no joke!
