Learn the English Words "airhead" and "airball"

In this English lesson, I wanted to

help you learn the English word airhead.

Now, this is not a nice word.

This is a word you use to talk about someone who

isn't very smart, someone who makes a lot of mistakes.

You might call them an airhead.

Actually, it's more like someone

who doesn't remember things.

You might call them an airhead.

Maybe at work, you have to work with someone and

you teach them how to do something, and an hour

later they can't remember how to do it.

If you were being mean and if you wanted to

insult them, you would say that they are an airhead.

This happens in school sometimes, too.

I just the other day had a student

complain because they said the other people in

their group that they were working with, they

thought they were a bunch of airheads.

So basically, that student was saying

the other students weren't very smart.

The other word I wanted to teach you today is airball.

This is a very specific and unique word.

This refers to the game of basketball.

When you shoot the ball and if it misses

the basket completely, it doesn't hit the rim.

Like, it doesn't hit the edge of the basket.

It doesn't go in the basket.

It goes right past the basket.

We would say that's an airball.

We sometimes in English might use this to

talk about an idea that didn't work out.

You know, we might say swing and a miss, or

we might say, oh, that was a real airball.

But mostly, 99% of the time, this word is used

to talk about someone in a basketball game shooting

the ball at the basket and it misses it completely.

So to review, an airhead is

a person who isn't very smart.

And an airball is a ball that you shoot towards a

basket in the game of basketball, and it doesn't go in.

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

Let's...

I don't think I have one.

Where'd it go?

I thought I printed it. Okay.

I don't have it.

Yeah, okay. Sorry. That was the grouchy...

Did you see the grouchy Bob there for a minute? I'm...

I'm a little bit annoyed with myself.

I was at school.

I printed this, and I thought I

printed a comment from a previous video. Maybe I didn't.

Okay, there's no comment today.

And I didn't do...

I didn't do that on purpose so

I could say that I'm an airhead. That's...

That's not why. I literally...

Maybe it's in my van.

Sorry.

I know you don't watch these

videos to see Bob wandering around.

No, it's not okay.

No comment from a previous video today.

But hey, I'm here in town it's a beautiful February

day and it feels like February is ending for sure.

We've been in deep, deep cold for so long.

Just walking around out here with

no coat on. The parking lot...

By the way, you can see there

is snow piled up over there.

We should go have a look at it.

In countries that get lots of snow,

you have to put the snow somewhere.

So sometimes you lose parking spots because

you have to put the snow somewhere.

So these piles were probably a

lot bigger a couple days ago.

But yeah, it's definitely a lot warmer.

It's probably not warm enough to just

walk around outside with no coat on.

But hey, I'm enjoying it. It's... It's been...

It's been a long winter.

I know I complained about it in

another video on my other channel.

I do still love winter, but this feels really nice.

I'm looking forward to the

weather getting a lot better.

Anyways, thanks for watching.

Sorry about the no comment thing.

No comment, yes.

I guess I'm a bit of an airhead today.

Anyways, thanks for watching.

See you in a couple days

with another short English lesson. Bye.
