hey guys welcome back to let's talk this is me Mira so the other day I met my friend RIA and I saw her expressions her face was really nervous and she was really sad about something so I asked her hey what happened here what is wrong with you Andrea said what did we is it yummy out we are said that she was called on the carpet by some of the bigwigs for what for missing her deadlines oh my gosh now this is getting serious right they told her that she was flunky and if she doesn't start pulling her weight they are gonna do demote her oh my god - what - a gofer and not just that guys they are gonna make her work graveyard - that is really really crazy and bad okay I heard her and I completely empathize with her I said to her RIA you better get cracking or those slave drivers are gonna can you for sure and you will have to pound the pavement again now I know that we have certain really interesting words and phrases right in front of us okay now these terms are a little different than our normal language and we are going to decode all of these but before that guys this video is sponsored by lingo des now what is lingo des well lingo des is an online website with native speaking English teachers available for you 24 by 7 when you're at Lakota you'd get personalized lesson plans that will help you learn more effectively I have personally tried a couple of their classes and the teachers are extremely qualified and extremely well-spoken the classes are quite flexible and you can plan them well in advanced based on your schedule you know you can take a class at lingotto the courses are packaged with learning materials covering you know grammar vocabulary and exercises which will be for your homework okay so well the latest addition to lingo des is business English courses that would certainly help you improve your communication and improve your chances to get job we saw promotion a great CV anything that you're aiming at you know probably such slang business English language that you would be able to decode well there is more for you you can check some of the links in the description but I will tell you more about it in detail towards the end of the lesson right so let's get cracking these codes and let's just decode all of this right here first okay so let's take a look at this so first what did she say Riya said that she was called on the carpet now let's understand what is called in the carpet it means you've done something wrong okay and people have called you on the carpet my father calls me on the carpet whenever I do something wrong what did you understand by this you are called to be scolded at so let me just write her okay cold on the red carpet means someone's going to scold you for something wrong that you've done in this case she was talking about her workplace so she's definitely going to get whom by some of the bigwigs now think about it it's actually a nice phrase you know the bigwigs can be you for positive and negative instances and situations in her case she's calling her bosses the bigwigs and it's fair right people who have great power great responsibility in their offices in workplace that means she's talking about her bosses and higher executive managers right for what they're calling her for missing her deadlines like I said being called on the red carpet is no joy it's usually for something that you have done wrong right it's for missing her deadline now we all know we have deadlines we had deadlines even when we were in school so she had to complete certain work now when you talk about deadlines you're basically talking about a certain date a certain day or maybe a certain time before which you must complete your work right and that's a 05:23 deadline so because she did not complete 05:25 her work before her given time she was 05:28 called on the red carpet savvy moving 05:31 further they told her that she was 05:34 flunky now what is flunky it's nothing 05:37 but being unskilled being unprofessional 05:40 okay unskilled or unprofessional and if 05:51 she doesn't start pulling her weight now 05:54 what does pulling her weight actually 05:55 mean guys is it actually meaning to like 05:58 pull the body weight and move around no 06:01 she's not even that heavy so what does 06:04 pulling her weight mean it just means - 06:08 - whatever the share of work that 06:10 they have given her she's supposed to 06:12 start working on it she has to make sure 06:16 that she has to understand she cannot be 06:19 flunky anymore she cannot fool around 06:23 anymore she has to start doing her work 06:26 all right here 06:32 Oh what are they going to do they are 06:39 going to demote her now guys what is 06:42 demote demoting something it's the 06:45 opposite of promotion now promotion is 06:47 just going up the scale this is just 06:50 going down the scale so demote her right 06:54 to a gofer what is a gofer it means a 06:58 person who just runs errands and who is 07:02 made to go from one place to another in 07:04 the office to do something that is not 07:07 at all that important so she would be 07:10 asked to go get coffee or give that 07:12 paper to someone or submit that but work 07:16 off no importance right run to go for me 07:19 someone who runs errands right not only 07:30 that they're going to make her work 07:33 graveyard - now guys what is graveyard 07:36 do you know what oh it's a very very 07:41 scary place first of all I personally 07:43 don't enjoy being around I'm sure none 07:45 of you do but a normal working hours are 07:48 9:00 to 5:00 yeah acceptable but usually 07:53 when you talk about graveyard 07:55 don't you imagine like a 12 in the you 07:59 know 12 at midnight or two after 08:01 midnight which is a scary hour exactly 08:04 so late-night graveyard means late night 08:07 there you go I said it and these timings 08:14 are usually really bad they are post 08:19 midnight they could be 12 a.m. to 7:00 08:23 a.m. in the morning that's really crazy 08:26 guys nobody wants that then I said to 08:29 her that you better get cracking now get 08:34 cracking or pulling her weight or in the 08:37 same way it's just that I mean will 08:39 right so get cracking means nothing but 08:42 again start 08:46 King okay 08:51 get to work start working it's one and 08:53 the same it's just two different ways to 08:55 say the same thing 08:56 all those slave drivers 09:00 now I - I'm saying the same thing that 09:03 she has said sure but in a different way 09:06 right the bigwigs she said it in a nice 09:08 way and when I talk about slave driver I 09:12 talk about mean bosses right mean bosses 09:19 bosses who trouble their employees right 09:24 I really hope that you don't have mean 09:28 bosses around you 09:30 well her main bosses are gonna can her 09:34 for sure 09:35 can is nothing but a short form of 09:37 cancel and can you for sure can her for 09:41 sure means nothing but fire she would 09:44 get fired 09:47 that means she get laid off she would 09:50 lose her job you guys and you she would 09:54 have to pound the pavement again so when 09:58 you imagine this phrase you know 10:00 pounding some pavement which means 10:02 getting back to square one starting to 10:06 look for another job okay pounding the 10:10 pavement means looking for new job which 10:23 is a task in itself okay it's a very 10:25 very troublesome task to go through the 10:28 whole process all over again and this 10:31 was the conversation that took place 10:33 between the both of us she shared 10:35 certain details which I thought was so 10:38 funny yet so serious because they were 10:41 about her work 10:42 and I gave her my share of advice now as 10:46 you can see we have already decoded a 10:48 lot of business English language right 10:51 here some of them do have the same 10:53 meaning but said it in a different way 10:56 please make sure that you know these 10:58 downs if at all you had a chance to you 11:00 them but in the most decent fashion okay 11:03 well these were your business English 11:06 slang phrases and words for the day like 11:09 I promised I'm going to share more 11:12 details with you about lingo de right so 11:15 here goes 11:16 well guys lingo de has always been a 11:19 great platform to learn English and now 11:22 with their latest addition to lingo de 11:24 which is business English courses I'm 11:27 sure that this is going to certainly 11:30 help people to improve their 11:31 communication skills and you know better 11:34 their chances to get a new job get a 11:37 visa or promotion or anything that 11:40 you're aiming at professionally the new 11:42 business English course comes with 90 11:45 online group classes which would be 11:47 taken over a period of six months okay 11:49 with a one-off payment of one 179 11:53 dollars or nine nine nine pounds well 11:57 what you could do is you could sign up 11:59 for a trial class which lasts just for 12:02 an hour with the native teacher but 12:05 paying a small deposit which is going to 12:07 be refundable and refunded back if you 12:10 attend the class this price is worth as 12:13 you're learning from qualified English 12:16 native teachers as you're a let's talk 12:18 subscriber you are going to get a $50 12:21 discount on your first payment don't 12:24 forget to use the link and the voucher 12:27 code mentioned in the description box 12:29 below so guys give it a try and let me 12:34 know your experience in the comments 12:36 section below 12:37 I would be waiting for it right so 12:39 that's all for today guys this is me 12:42 Meera signing off for the day bye
