36
108325
2380
01:50
finally dive into today’s video. We’re breaking down the
37
110705
3235
01:53
the “Breaking Bad” TV series. Season one,
38
113940
3340
01:57
episode one. And first of all let’s talk about
39
117280
2475
01:59
the name of the show and the meaning of it. So, to
40
119755
2830
02:02
break bad means to turn toward immoral
41
122585
2820
02:05
behavior or to step into the world of crime,
42
125405
3310
02:08
to go against what is considered normal
43
128925
2970
02:11
and ethical in society. But listen to the
44
131895
2900
02:14
executive producer of “Breaking Bad”. How he explains this phrase.
45
134795
3260
02:18
I come from Virginia and it's a very much of a
46
138055
2910
02:20
southern regionalism. But I though everybody new
47
140965
3140
02:24
It means to raise hell. Oh, Ok!
48
144675
2510
02:27
I was the other night at the bar and I just
49
147185
2110
02:29
tied one on and I really broke bad I just really
50
149295
2700
02:31
Oh man, I just wound up in the back of a squad car
51
151995
2750
02:34
You can watch the whole thing clicking the link down below. As it
52
154745
3020
02:37
turns out not everybody knew this phrase even in the United
53
157765
2990
02:40
States, cuz it’s very regional. So, he says
54
160755
3170
02:43
it means to raise hell, which is another phase
55
163925
3160
02:47
that means to behave in a way that is not controlled
56
167085
2880
02:49
and causes trouble or it can mean to argue loudly.
57

03:01
62
181860
1000
03:04
Let’s move on to our
63
184920
1055
03:05
next phrase Dick around. So this one isn’t nice
64
185975
3000
03:08
and is vulgar. So you’ll be better off without using it.
65
188975
3050
03:12
This is just so you know the meaning. So In this
66
192025
2960
03:14
example it means to cause a lot of problems for someone.
67
194985
2890
03:17
Also, it means to waste
68
197875
2430
03:20
your time doing something meaningless.

To picture something is the same as
125
353675
