The first story comes from another English teacher who was out in Thailand

the Apple the children shouted "a for Apple" he held up the ball and they all

shouted "b for ball". The trouble was their L's, their dark L's weren't very good.

La siguiente historia provino de un espectador de YouTube que dijo que había comenzado un

The next story came from a YouTube viewer who said they'd started a brand

La siguiente historia es una hermosa historia que volví a leer en mis comentarios de youtube de un

new job and they were talking about their career with their new work

colleagues and very happily sat there and told everyone that she'd always been

prostitute. So she told her new colleagues "I've been a prostitute all my

life, I've sold my body" and if you're not sure what prostitute means perhaps look

Grrrr. Faltan dos historias más, muchachos, y ambas son clásicos absolutos, pero la

The next story is a lovely story that I read again in my youtube comments from a

Grrrr. Two more stories to go guys and these are both absolute classics but the

man's penis becoming hard, a hard-on. So he just said I have a big erection

coming up. What he meant was "I love politics I have a big election coming up

in my country". Now again that's that difficulty with the dark L so it's very

important that you really master the pronunciation of the dark L so you don't

tell everyone that you have an erection coming up.

The last story is absolutely priceless and it really highlights some of the

differences between British English and American English so this particular

student works in a big corporation and was attending a drinks event a

get-together full of big wigs that means very important people not the kind of

place where you want to embarrass yourself. So imagine the scene. A very

senior member of staff, very senior, is standing holding two drinks (perhaps

one he was holding for a friend who'd popped to the bathroom, the toilet) in

British English we call this being double parked and if you see someone

who's double parked we generally go "hey you're double parked" but an American lady

walks over and goes "hey you're double fisting". Now the man was unsurprisingly

shocked. Now I debated whether or not I should

share with you what fisting actually means but you see it's a very extreme

sexual act and a little bit embarrassed to describe it to you and so I think the

best thing for you is to Goog.... no don't google it. Definitely don't google it, you

don't want double fisting on your google history. So I'll just leave it to your

imagination but you do not want to approach a senior member of staff in a

party and loudly say oh you're double fisting. Bad career move, a very bad career

move. In fact that's probably the biggest boob that's ever been revealed to me.

Alright guys that's as much boob as I can cope with in one lesson I need some time

off but I definitely think there are more boobs coming your way in the future.

If you have any boobs that you would like to reveal then please go ahead put

it in the comments box below. If you did enjoy this and if you

found it useful which hopefully you did because learning through humor is the

best way to learn, you know what to do don't forget to subscribe. If I have

offended anyone I am sorry my intention is always to inform. Until next time take

care and goodbye!
