Hello, my brothers and sisters.

11575

00:14
Welcome back to this channel you must be thinking about what I am doing in this
3
14146
5053
00:19
car. I want to ask you a question. An accident could have happened over here,
4
19199
4941
00:24
very close. My heart missed a beat. My mother pulled over to make us come. We went to a
5
24140
9099
00:33
market to buy some dresses for me. I'm okay, now and my heartbeat is normal. My
6
33239
5281
00:38
mother suggested I should pour my heart out. That's why I'm here to share this
7
38520
5400
00:43
experience with you all, my brothers and sisters.
8
43920
3659
00:47
Still, I haven't pulled through, but let me continue it. My mother was driving the
9
47579
5820
00:53
car. She's here sitting in the driving seat.
10
53399
3241
00:56
We were at normal speed as usual. Out of the blue, a man with a lady and a little
11
56640
5759
01:02
girl on a two-wheeler came in front of us to cross the road. Our car was about
12
62399
5760
01:08
to slam into his bike, but within a fraction of a second,
13
68159
3841
01:12
she applied the break and pulled over. I was aghast at that moment. To my
14
72000
6299
01:18
surprise, the man sitting on the two-wheeler had no fear. His facial
15
78299
4320
01:22
expression was normal, as if driving on an empty road. He looked at my mother and
16
82619
5101
01:27
went away as if nothing had happened. I think he had nerves of Steel. He was
17
87720
6360
01:34
Fearless, with no fear of death on his face. I am sure he has got a Heart of
18
94080
4980
01:39
Stone. Would you call such people daring? No, I would call such people foolish. It's
19
99060
5220
01:44
okay if they don't care about their own life, but at least they should care about
20
104280
4440
01:48
their family. A lady and a little girl were sitting
21
108720
3719
01:52
behind him on his bike without a helmet. Anything could have happened.
22
112439
4680
01:57
Whenever I think about that moment I feel my heart in my mouth. A serious
23
117119
5581
02:02
accident could have happened. Seeing the lady and the little girl on
24
122700
4260
02:06
his bike, my mother and my heart sank. Someone could have lost their life.
25
126960
6120
02:13
Now, let's get to the heart of the matter. What could have caused the accident?
26
133080
6180
02:19
Whose fault would it be for the accident? I curse the man. His face was like a
27
139260
5940
02:25
bulldog chewing a wasp. Pardon my French. I know I should not
28
145200
4500
02:29
talk about anybody like this. It's not a suitable manner. But that's what I
29
149700
4259
02:33
thought when I saw the expression on his face. He didn't realize, it could have been a
30
153959
5521
02:39
disaster for them and us. Probably it could have been his last drive on his
31
159480
5160
02:44
bike. He could have lost his life. If the accident had happened, God forbid if he
32
164640
6300
02:50
had lost one of his limbs. this accident could have changed the face of his
33
170940
4760
02:55
entire life. But the question arises if the accident had happened, and somebody
34
175700
6399
03:02
had been injured, whose fault could it have been? My mother's or his? I'm not
35
182099
5401
03:07
sure. But I want to know. If you know then please drop it in the comment box. You
36
187500
5280
03:12
may not be a legal expert, but you can still, share your views, right? I am
37
192780
4920
03:17
waiting for your reply. Just now you heard Havisha's concern. She
38
197700
4860
03:22
used some idioms, vocabulary words, and phrasal verbs in her sentences. Now, since
39
202560
4620
03:27
this channel is about learning English, let me tell you the meanings of those
40
207180
4440
03:31
idioms, vocabulary words, and the phrasal verbs she used.
41
211620
3899
03:35
The first one is heart misses a beat. Heart misses a beat is an idiom, and if
42
215519
5640
03:41
your heart misses a beat or skips a beat, it means you have a sudden feeling of
43
221159
5160
03:46
excitement or fear. For example, I was reading a novel and the light suddenly
44
226319
5041
03:51
went out, my heart missed a bit. The next, Havisha used, is pull over. Pull over is a
45
231360
5280
03:56
phrasal verb and it means to stop your car at the side of the road or to force
46
236640
5280
04:01
another vehicle or driver to do this. You might have noticed this phrasal verb in
47
241920
4980
04:06
Hollywood movies where the actor drives his vehicle fast and the police ask him
48
246900
4259
04:11
to pull over. This means the police ask him to stop the car at the side of
49
251159
5161
04:16
the road. I also pulled over to calm us after that incident which Havisha just
50
256320
4500
04:20
now explained to you.
51
260820
3020
04:37
I need you to pull over, please. Yes.
52
277880
2987
04:40
Citizen, pull over.
53
280867
2066
04:42
Pull over, Jim
54
282933
1371
04:44
Could you pull over, please? Now let's go to the next one. The next one is to pour
55
284304
4416
04:48
my heart out, or pour one's heart out. This is an idiom. If I pour my heart out
56
288720
4919
04:53
to someone, it means I express my feelings freely. For example, Havisha poured her
57
293639
4981
04:58
heart out to you. It means she expressed her feelings to you. Whenever I need to
58
298620
5100
05:03
pour my heart out to someone, I just ring up my mother-in-law and pour my heart
59
303720
4800
05:08
out to her.
60
308520
3020
05:18
Go to him, right now, and pour your heart out
61
318408
2636
05:21
You just pour your heart out to her, man. Girls the
62
321044
2304
05:23
The next one is out of the blue. If something happens out of the blue, it happens
63
323348
5752
05:29
suddenly or unexpectedly. For example, the bike came in front of us out of the blue.
64
329100
8180
05:39
um out of the blue. Out of the blue. Out of the blue. Out of the blue. The next one
65
339740
5620
05:45
Havisha used is pull through. Pull through is a phrasal verb, and it means
66
345360
4440
05:49
to overcome a dangerous or difficult situation or an illness.
67
349800
9527
05:59
The next one is slam into. Slam into something is a phrasal verb, and it means
68
359327
6673
06:06
to hit or collide with something in a very forceful or violent manner.
69
366000
7280
06:16
The next one is Aghast. Aghast means shocked or surprised when you see or
70
376199
6840
06:23
hear something unpleasant.
71
383039
3500
06:32
The next one, Haivsha used, is to have nerves of Steel. It is an idiom, and if someone has
72
392060
7479
06:39
nerves of Steel, it means they are not afraid of difficult or dangerous
73
399539
5041
06:44
situations.
74
404580
2480
06:49
Nerves of Steel. Nerves of Steel but you. Nerves of Steel. The next one, she used, is
75
409100
5740
06:54
to have a Heart of Stone. It is an idiom. If someone has a heart of stone, it means
76
414840
5160
07:00
they show no understanding, sympathy or pity.
77
420000
4759
07:06
Heart of stone. Heart of stone. Heart of stone.
78
426206
3618
07:09
The next idiom, Havisha used, is to have your heart in your mouth.
79
429824
3495
07:13
If a person has their heart in their mouth, it means they feel extremely
80
433319
4861
07:18
anxious or nervous when faced with a dangerous situation,
81
438180
6500
07:26
dangerous situations
82
446300
4540
07:53
I got my heart in my mouth. Put my heart in my mouth. The next one, she used, is
83
473903
6157
08:00
someone's heart sinks. It is an idiom and if your heart sinks, it means you feel very
84
480060
6240
08:06
unhappy. For example, Puja's heart sank when she saw the amount of work waiting
85
486300
7140
08:13
for her. My heart sinks. The next idiom, Havisha used, is the
86
493440
4620
08:18
heart of the matter. The vital aspect or part of a situation is called the heart
87
498060
5039
08:23
of the matter.
88
503099
2540
08:27
So before we get to the heart of the matter.
89
507215
2196
08:29
Is the heart of the matter. At the very heart of the matter. And this gets to the
90
509411
3949
08:33
heart of the matter. Before they get to the heart of the matter. The next idiom,
91
513360
3780
08:37
she used, is a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp. This is an idiom which I
92
517140
5459
08:42
don't want to use. But let me tell you its meaning. If someone has an ugly
93
522599
5521
08:48
expression on their face, you find it unattractive. Right? You can say, they have
94
528120
6120
08:54
a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp. The next one is pardon my French. It is an
95
534240
5099
08:59
idiom, and you can use it as an apology for using offensive language.
96
539339
6801
09:07
Offensive words
97
547640
3000
09:18
Pardon my French. Pardon my French. Pardon my French. Pardon my French but. Pardon my
98
558920
6580
09:25
French. Pardon my French. Pardon my French. The next one, Havisha used is God
99
565500
6120
09:31
forbid. It is an idiom and a way of saying that you hope something does not
100
571620
4920
09:36
happen. In Hindi it means
101
576540
4820
09:43
Oh God forbid. God forbid. God forbid. God forbid. God forbid. The next one is limp.
102
583519
6221
09:49
It means an arm or a leg of a person or animal. It is pronounced as L-i-m, not L-i-m-b.
103
589740
6240
09:55
Here, the letter B is silent. Limb. The limb. Are you sure, this is the limb you want to
104
595980
6720
10:02
climb out on. So, it is Lim, not Limb. B is silent here. The next idiom, Havisha used,
105
602700
6360
10:09
is change the face of something. It means to change something entirely or
106
609060
6779
10:15
in a significant way. I intend to change the face of History. They will change the
107
615839
4381
10:20
face of this town. This one storm is going to change the face of our planet.
108
620220
4020
10:24
Because this is going to change the face of in your face. We shall change the face
109
624240
4740
10:28
of Iraqis. I hope you liked this information. And write your views in the
