And you and Neil discussed this and brought us the phrase 'damp squib'.

ืื– ื‘ื•ื ื ืฉืžืข ืžื” ืืžืจืช:
08:50
OK. Our next headline comes from the UK,

ื‘ืกื“ืจ. ื”ื›ื•ืชืจืช ื”ื‘ืื” ืฉืœื ื• ืžื’ื™ืขื” ืžื‘ืจื™ื˜ื ื™ื”,
08:53
from the Telegraph, and it reads:
158
533400
2880
ืžื”ื˜ืœื’ืจืฃ, ื•ื”ื™ื ื›ืชื•ื‘ื”:
09:01
'Damp squib' โ€“ something less impressive than expected.
159
541880
4200
'ืœืฉื•ืš ืœื—' - ืžืฉื”ื• ืคื—ื•ืช ืžืจืฉื™ื ืžื”ืฆืคื•ื™.
09:06
Yeah. So, this is a very British expression and it's two words.
160
546080
5760
ื›ึผึตืŸ. ืื– ื–ื”ื• ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™ ื‘ืจื™ื˜ื™ ืžืื•ื“ ื•ืžื“ื•ื‘ืจ ื‘ืฉืชื™ ืžื™ืœื™ื.
09:11
The first word is 'damp' โ€“ D-A-M-P.
161
551840
3480
ื”ืžื™ืœื” ื”ืจืืฉื•ื ื” ื”ื™ื 'ืœื—' โ€“ D-A-M-P.
09:15
The second word is 'squib', spelt S-Q-U-I-B โ€“
162
555320
5440
ื”ืžื™ืœื” ื”ืฉื ื™ื™ื” ื”ื™ื 'ืกquib', ืžืื•ื™ืชืช S-Q-U-I-B -
09:20
very important that 'b' there.
163
560760
1680
ื—ืฉื•ื‘ ืžืื•ื“ ืฉ'b' ืฉื.
09:22
And what it means โ€“ it describes something. It's a noun...
164
562440
2760
ื•ืžื” ื–ื” ืื•ืžืจ - ื–ื” ืžืชืืจ ืžืฉื”ื•. ื–ื” ืฉื ืขืฆื...
09:25
a noun phrase and it describes something that is...
165

3080
ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™ ืฉื ืขืฆื ื•ื”ื•ื ืžืชืืจ ืžืฉื”ื• ืฉื”ื•ื... ื–ื”
09:28
it's... it's less than it was expected.
166
568280
2080
... ื–ื” ืคื—ื•ืช ืžืžื” ืฉื”ื™ื” ืฆืคื•ื™.
09:30
So, you had high expectations and it didn't reach those expectations.
167
570360
5320
ืื– ื”ื™ื• ืœืš ืฆื™ืคื™ื•ืช ื’ื‘ื•ื”ื•ืช ื•ื–ื” ืœื ื”ื’ื™ืข ืœืฆื™ืคื™ื•ืช ื”ืืœื”.
09:35
Yeah. Now, this is a bit of a strange expression because
168
575680
4000
ื›ึผึตืŸ. ืขื›ืฉื™ื•, ื–ื” ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™ ืงืฆืช ืžื•ื–ืจ ืžื›ื™ื•ื•ืŸ ืฉืจื•ื‘
09:39
most people will understand the first part, 'damp', meaning slightly wet
169
579680
4520
ื”ืื ืฉื™ื ื™ื‘ื™ื ื• ืืช ื”ื—ืœืง ื”ืจืืฉื•ืŸ, 'ืœื—', ื›ืœื•ืžืจ ืžืขื˜ ืจื˜ื•ื‘,
09:44
and we can see how that can be... have a, sort of, negative meaning,
170
584200
3680
ื•ืื ื—ื ื• ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœืจืื•ืช ืื™ืš ื–ื” ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœื”ื™ื•ืช... ื™ืฉ ืœื•, ืžืขื™ืŸ, ืžืฉืžืขื•ืช ืฉืœื™ืœื™ืช,
09:47
but 'squib' โ€“ what is a 'squib', Roy?
171
587880
3040
ืื‘ืœ 'ืกquib' โ€“ ืžื” ื–ื” 'ืกืงื•ื•ื™ื‘', ืจื•ืขื™?
09:50
In the past, a 'squib' was used to refer to a small firework.
172
590920
5720
ื‘ืขื‘ืจ, ื”ืฉืชืžืฉื• ื‘'ืกืงื•ื•ื™ื‘' ื›ื“ื™ ืœื”ืชื™ื™ื—ืก ืœื–ื™ืงื•ืงื™ ื“ื™ื ื•ืจ ืงื˜ืŸ.
09:56
So, this is going to give an idea.
173
596640
1360
ืื– ื–ื” ื”ื•ืœืš ืœืชืช ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ.
09:58
So, you're right โ€“ that 'damp' word which is obviously still in use:
174
598000
3280
ืื– ืืชื” ืฆื•ื“ืง - ื”ืžื™ืœื” ื”'ืœื—ื”' ื”ื–ื• ืฉื›ืžื•ื‘ืŸ ืขื“ื™ื™ืŸ ื‘ืฉื™ืžื•ืฉ:
10:01
it means wet.
175
601280
1360
ืคื™ืจื•ืฉื” ืจื˜ื•ื‘.
10:02
And the firework... if a wet firework...
176
602640
2560
ื•ื”ื–ื™ืงื•ืงื™ื... ืื ื–ื™ืงื•ืงื™ื ืจื˜ื•ื‘ื™ื...
10:05
if a firework is wet, it doesn't really...
177
605200
3920
ืื ื–ื™ืงื•ืงื™ื ืจื˜ื•ื‘ื™ื, ื–ื” ืœื ื‘ืืžืช...
10:09
it doesn't really work. Fireworks are best when they're dry.
178

3280
ื–ื” ืœื ื‘ืืžืช ืขื•ื‘ื“. ื–ื™ืงื•ืงื™ื ื”ื ื”ื˜ื•ื‘ื™ื ื‘ื™ื•ืชืจ ื›ืฉื”ื ื™ื‘ืฉื™ื.
10:12
So, this is what many people believe is the origin of this expression:
179
612400
3880
ืื– ื–ื” ืžื” ืฉืื ืฉื™ื ืจื‘ื™ื ืžืืžื™ื ื™ื ืฉืžืงื•ืจื• ืฉืœ ื”ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™ ื”ื–ื”:
10:16
just a wet firework that didn't... didn't go off.
180
616280
3800
ืกืชื ื–ื™ืงื•ืงื™ ื“ื™ื ื•ืจ ืจื˜ื•ื‘ื™ื ืฉืœื... ืœื ื ื“ืœืง.
10:20
Yeah. And as we know, fireworks are exciting.
181
620080
2320
ื›ึผึตืŸ. ื•ื›ื™ื“ื•ืข, ื–ื™ืงื•ืงื™ื ื”ื ืžืจื’ืฉื™ื.
10:22
There's some expectation around how they are going to make you feel.
182
622400
4320
ื™ืฉ ืื™ื–ื•ืฉื”ื™ ืฆื™ืคื™ื•ืช ืœื’ื‘ื™ ืื™ืš ื”ื ื™ื’ืจืžื• ืœืš ืœื”ืจื’ื™ืฉ.
10:26
You're going to be excited and full of joy.

2600
ืืชื” ื”ื•ืœืš ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ื ืจื’ืฉ ื•ืžืœื ืฉืžื—ื”.
10:29
If it's 'damp', that excitement is gone and that's the key to this meaning.
184
629320
5680
ืื ื–ื” 'ืœื—', ื”ื”ืชืจื’ืฉื•ืช ื”ื–ื• ื ืขืœืžื” ื•ื–ื” ื”ืžืคืชื— ืœืžืฉืžืขื•ืช ื”ื–ื•.
10:35
It is. So... And we use it quite commonly,

as I say, in British English informally โ€“

ืœื”ื’ื™ื“ ืžืฉื”ื• ื”ื•ื ืื›ื–ื‘ื”.
10:42
So, maybe you go to a restaurant and the food isn't very good

One other thing to point out about this expression 'damp squib':
207

ื“ื‘ืจ ื ื•ืกืฃ ืฉืฆืจื™ืš ืœืฆื™ื™ืŸ ืœื’ื‘ื™ ื”ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™ ื”ื–ื” 'ืกquib ืœื—':

704600
1920
ื”ืจื‘ื” ืื ืฉื™ื ืžืชื‘ืœื‘ืœื™ื
11:46
because the word 'squib' is not used in modern English very often

215
727080
2280
ื•ื–ื” ื›ืžื• ืชืžื ื•ืŸ,
12:09
