Feifei: | Hello and welcome to The English We Speak, I'm Feifei. |
Rob: | Hello everyone, I'm Rob. |
Feifei: | Rob, guess who I just got in a lift with? |
Rob: | (Not interested) Hmmm, lots of other people who work at the BBC? |
Feifei: | No! You’ll never guess ... |
Rob: | (Still not interested) Probably not. |
Feifei: | I am so excited, my heart is still pounding! |
Rob: | Come on Feifei, it's not like you have just been in a lift with Damien Lewis. So calm down, we've got some work to do. |
Feifei: | (Even more excited) It was, it was Damien Lewis! I WAS in a lift with Damien Lewis. |
Rob: | (Now interested) Really? What was he like? |
Feifei: | He was wearing a light blue shirt and jeans! Very tall, and ... he's just so handsome! |
Rob: | I bet! Did you say anything to him? |
Feifei: | No, I was too nervous! But he was saying something about going for some 'nosh' before recording. What does that mean? What is 'nosh'? |
Rob: | In British English, 'to have some nosh' is a slang phrase which means to have some food or to have a meal. The word 'nosh' literally means 'food' or 'a meal'. |
Feifei: | OK, I see. So he was saying he would go and have some food before recording? |
Rob: | Yes, I believe so. Let's hear some examples on how to use the word 'nosh'. |
