We Speak with me, Feifei...
1
2340
1750
00:04
...and me, Roy.
2
4090
1210
00:05
We may sound a little different. That's
3
5300
2760
00:08
because we are not able to record in our
4
8060
1980
00:10
normal studios during
5
10040
1240
00:11
the coronavirus outbreak.
6
11280
2500
00:13
Roy, have you heard about Rob?
7
13820
2980
00:16
No, what about Rob?
8
16800
2700
00:19
Well, you know that Rob's been wearing
9
19500
2940
00:22
a long t-shirt recently.
10
22440
1840
00:24
It's because the other night
11
24300
2139
00:26
he went out with some friends. Well,
12
26440
2880
00:29
he lost a dare and now he's got
13
29320
2037
00:31
a tattoo of panda
14
31357
1262
00:32
on a skateboard on his arm.
15
32620
2520
00:35
Feifei, he's probably really embarrassed
16
35140
3360
00:38
about that. You shouldn't gossip.
17
38520
2440
00:40
I am not! But, you always love it when
18
40960
3596
00:44
I spill the tea!
19
44560
1510
00:46
You spilt some tea? While recording!?
20
46070
3470
00:49
That's dangerous when we're
21
49540
1540
00:51
surrounded by laptops
22
51080
1180
00:52
and microphones.
23
52260
1540
00:53
No Roy, 'spilling the tea' means 'to gossip'.
24
53800
3980
00:57
I'm going to spill the tea some more right
25
57780
2810
01:00
after these examples...
26
60590
1250
01:04
I shouldn't spill the tea, but have you
27
64020
2540
01:06
heard that Bob and Susan are dating?
28
66560
3320
01:09
Come on, spill the tea. Tell me what
29
69880
2800
01:12
you know about Derek!
30
72680
1520
01:15
I'll spill the tea. There's going to be a
31
75400
2800
01:18
huge party and no one has invited Peter.
32
78200
2840
01:23
This is The English We Speak from
33
83220
2240
01:25
BBC Learning English and
34
85460
1500
01:26
we're talking about the expression
35
86964
2136
01:29
'spill the tea' which means to 'to gossip'.
36
89100
4150
01:33
So come on Feifei, spill the tea. You know
37
93250
3390
01:36
everything that happens in the office. How
38
96640
3390
01:40
did you know about Rob's tattoo?
39
100030
2650
01:42
I will never reveal my sources.
40
102680
2679
01:45
Well, OK. It was Neil.
41
105359
2341
01:47
I can't believe you told me that!
42
107700
2379
01:50
You gave up your source so easily.
43
110080
3060
01:53
Well you asked, so I told you!
44
113140
2220
01:55
I'm just really honest.
45
115360
2170
01:57
Well, Feifei. I have a surprise for you!
46
117530
3590
02:01
You know that Neil told you that
47
121120
1940
02:03
Rob has a new
48
123067
1012
02:04
tattoo?
49
124079
1231
02:05
Yes.
50
125310
1239
02:06
Well Feifei, Rob hasn't really got
51
126549
2346
02:08
a 'panda on a skateboard' tattoo - we
52
128895
2600
02:11
created the story
53
131495
1195
02:12
to see if you'd spill the tea! Rob would
54
132690
2790
02:15
never do something so silly!
55
135480
2580
02:18
That's not fair! Bye, Roy.
56
138069
2611
02:20
Bye.
