We Speak. I'm Feifei.

00:05
And I'm Roy! I'm glad you're here, Feifei.

I'm really upset! Rob just sent me an email
3
9210
3400
00:12
saying 'thanks for all my hard work
4
12610
2430
00:15
and that I was a goat!'
5
15040
2139
00:17
I think that email was intended for me - for
6
17179
3901
00:21
I am the GOAT. It makes me very happy
7
21080
2800
00:23
when people call me that!
8
23880
2060
00:25
You like being called a goat?
9
25940
3660
00:29
No, Roy. GOAT is an acronym for
10
29600
3470
00:33
the 'Greatest Of All Time'. That's why
11
33070
3630
00:36
that email was meant for me.
12
36700
2660
00:39
Ahhh that makes more sense
13
39360
2150
00:41
about why Rob would call me a GOAT,
14
41510
2770
00:44
because I did bake him over
15
44280
1570
00:45
a thousand biscuits.
16
45850
1840
00:47
Well, I'll buy him 2000 biscuits
17
47690
2820
00:50
from the shop and then we'll see
18
50510
1630
00:52
who Rob thinks is the GOAT.
19
52140
2220
00:54
Clearly everyone thinks it's me.
20
54360
2740
00:57
You're very competitive, Feifei!
21
57100
2779
00:59
Plus, I baked, not bought the biscuits.
22
59879

01:04
Let's calm down while we
23
64269
1130
01:05
listen to some examples.
24
65399
4341
01:09
That footballer is truly amazing.
25
69740
2309
01:12
Every ball she touches ends in
26
72049
1221
01:13
a goal. She's the GOAT!
27
73270
3820
01:17
Have you seen the new film in
28
77090
1040
01:18
the Pelican series? The special effects,
29
78130
2500
01:20
story and acting are all perfect.
30
80630
2300
01:22
It's the GOAT.
31
82930
2270
01:25
My friend said that Ed Sheeran is
32
85200
1689
01:26
the GOAT, but I'm not sure I agree.
33
86889
2480
01:29
He's not my favourite artist.
34

This is The English We Speak from
35
93810
2369
01:36
BBC Learning English, and we're
36
96179
1930
01:38
talking about the expression 'GOAT'.
37
98109
2531
01:40
'GOAT' is short for 'greatest of all time'
38
100640
4689
01:45
and is used to talk about things or
39
105329
1890
01:47
people that we think are the best.
40
107219
2860
01:50
Yes, for example footballers or other
41
110079
2460
01:52
sports stars who you think are
42
112539
2051
01:54
number 1. You can call them the GOAT.
43
114590
3639
01:58
It can be a way to express your opinion.
44
118229
3151
02:01
You can even use it for video games or films.
45
121380
3059
02:04
For example, the film that I think
46
124439
2560
02:06
is the GOAT is ...
47
126999
2480
02:09
Don't even finish that sentence, Roy!
48
129479
3921
02:13
No film that you like could be considered
49
133400
2410
02:15
good - let alone the GOAT.
50
135810
2410
02:18
Right - well, at least Rob thinks that
51
138220
2791
02:21
I'm the GOAT. I'll go and say thanks
52
141011
2299
02:23
to him for his kind email!
53
143310
1810
02:25
OK Roy, bye!
54
145120
1860
02:26
Bye!
