Learn the English Words "schemozzle" and "bamboozle"

In this English lesson, I wanted to

help you learn the word schemozzle.

When there is a schemozzle, it

means that something is a mess.

Let's say you're at work and you need four truckloads of,

I don't know, flour in order to make bread that day.

Maybe you work at a bread factory

and only one truckload showed up.

That would be a real schemozzle.

Or maybe instead of four truckloads

showing up, eight truckloads show up.

That's a schemozzle.

It's a funny word.

I don't even know if I'm quite saying it

correctly, but I heard a colleague say it today.

They said, wow, there's just a real schemozzle.

And I won't give you the specifics, but whenever you

use this word, it means something is a mess.

It means it's not going the way it's supposed to

or it isn't the way it's supposed to be.

The other word I wanted to

teach you today is bamboozle.

This means when you trick

someone, usually for financial gain.

By the way, I just.

I like the funny words today.

Schemozzle and bamboozle.

When you bamboozle someone, it means that

you trick them into buying something that

isn't worth what you think it is.

If Jen was to bamboozle people at market, eventually

people would be annoyed with us because she would

be tricking them, maybe selling them, you know, 10

flowers in a bouquet and saying there's 30 in

there or something like that.

She would be bamboozling them. So to review.

Oh, I already put the words away.

A schemozzle is a mess.

And when you bamboozle someone, you trick them, usually

because you want to get money from them somehow.

Oh, it's getting a little cold out here.

Hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.

This comment is from Sajonara. Hi, Bob.

By the way, did you fasten

the seat belt around the bottle? And my response?

I did indeed.

I learned my lesson a long time ago when a bottle

fell over in my van and the lid came off.

Yeah, that was a...

That was a mess.

I was going to say schemozzle,

but that doesn't really describe it.

But yes, I did have that.

Thanks for the comment, by the way.

I did have that once... By the way.

I put a water bottle in my van in the last video.

And after I put it.

Or in my car, and then after I put it

in there, I did put the seat belt through the

handle and fasten the seat belt, because that's a good

Way to prevent it from falling over. So.

So anyways, how's everybody doing?

I have to admit I'm a little bit nervous.

It's the first day of school or

first day of second semester tomorrow.

That's probably why I'm talking so quickly.

I'm just gonna go over here out

of the wind a little bit. It's.

It is quite a bit colder than I was expecting out here.

Sorry.

I was just looking at the ground here

because it's a bit of a different color.

And this is where my van was parked, so

I better check the oil in that van.

I don't think it's oil. I don't know.

What do you think it is?

You see how the.

It's a little darker there than it is over here.

I think, though, that might just be from yesterday.

Things melted a bit and so the vehicles all have, like,

salt and sand and stuff on the side from the roads.

And maybe that just kind of slipped off.

So can I venture out into the cold again?

Yeah, probably. I'll do that. So.

Or maybe not a little colder than I was expecting.

I was gonna. Expecting.

I was gonna show you this as well.

We had a windstorm that was not there the other day.

That actually came from.

I think it came from over there.

We have a bit of a junk pile over there.

You've probably seen it in a few videos.

I do really need to clean that up.

And I think that blew over here.

And there's a few other things that blew around as

well, but mostly we made it through okay.

Anyways, thanks for watching. Wish me.

Wish me luck for tomorrow, and I'll see you

in a few days with another short English lesson. Bye.
