Learn the English Phrases TO BLEEP OUT and TO BE OUT OF SOMETHING

In this English lesson,

I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, to bleep out.

Have you ever been watching a TV show or a movie

and then sometimes the person says a bad word,

like f&%$ or sh#&,

and instead of hearing the word, you just hear a beep,

like I just put in this video?

That's what we call bleeping out.

When you say bad words on TV especially,

sometimes they will bleep out the bad word,

because they don't want people to hear the bad words.

So there's a whole list of bad words

that you're not allowed to say on TV.

And if someone does say it,

they will definitely bleep out the bad word.

They don't do this as much in movies.

Usually when you watch a movie, if you rent a movie,

or watch it on Netflix, do people still rent DVDs?

I'm not sure.

They usually don't bleep out the bad words,

but if you're watching something on TV

and it has a bad word in it,

often they will bleep out the bad word.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today

is to be out of something.

This is kind of a funny phrase,

because if you said to me,

"Bob, can I have a glass of milk?"

I might say, sorry, I'm out.

If I say I'm out of milk,

if I say I'm out of something,

it means I don't have any more of it.

So the other day, one of my kids was like,

"We're out of milk,"

and I said, how can we be out already?

That doesn't make sense.

I just bought milk the other day,

but I guess my kids drink it really quickly.

And after a few days, we were out of milk.

So to review, when you bleep something out, it means that,

or when something is bleeped out,

it means you're watching something

and instead of hearing bad words,

you just hear a beeping sound, or a bleep.

Beep and bleep are kind of the same thing.

And to be out of something means

that you don't have any more of it.

And again, you can say thing like we're out,

or you can say we're out of milk.

You can actually mention the thing

that you don't have anymore.

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

This comment is from Athanasios.

"Thanks for these phrases, Teacher Bob.

Yesterday, I saw a driver who double parked,

but it was just to pick up his child.

I got the wrong idea about him."

And my response was it's easy to jump to conclusions.

So that was from the video the other day,

where I talked about the phrase to have the wrong idea,

or to get the wrong idea about someone.

And Athanasios used a phrase in there as well,

"Double parked."

When you're double parked,

it means there's a car on the side of the road

and someone parks beside that car,

and then that first car can't get out.

It's considered rude and it's actually illegal

in Canada to double park.

And then I used a phrase too, didn't I?

I used the phrase, jump to conclusions.

When you jump to conclusions,

it means that you think something is true

with only a tiny bit of evidence,

or not very much evidence at all.

It's not good to jump to conclusions.

It's actually a bad idea.

So hey, I'm just randomly wandering out here in the field.

I know people like to see signs of spring.

There aren't a lot of signs of spring, but once again,

the daffodils are starting to come up.

You just can't see a lot of them yet.

And they have not grown very much in the last little while.

They're growing very, very slowly,

because it's been cold again.

The other thing you can see in the spring,

I'm not sure if you can see it, but way down there,

there's a little orange sign

and it says that there's construction ahead.

Often, they will work on roads in the spring here.

They don't often fix roads in the winter.

It's just a bad idea.

And then way in the distance,

you can actually see a tractor and wagons.

Things are getting a little busier here

on the farming front.

So in terms of farming,

it's been winter for a while and now slowly but surely,

the farmers are starting to do more work,

as you can see right there.

Anyways, see you in a couple of days

with another short lesson, bye.
