Slangs are nothing but Informal words or expressions that are used in the spoken rather than in the written English. As they are strictly informal, you might want to use them mostly with friends, colleagues or people close to you. You'll want to refrain from using slangs with your boss, teachers or elders. It is important to also know that slangs are not unique words. They are, however, derived from other common English words or maybe other slangs too.
Let's take a look at some interesting slangs you can use on an everyday basis:
1) To blow out of here-To leave
Example : I decided to blow out of the theater because the movie was so boring.
2) Pain in the neck-very annoying
Example :My little brother can be a real pain in the neck with his constant questioning.
3) Zapped out-completely tired or exhausted
Example : I was zapped out after a long day at work.
4 )Catch some Z's-get some sleep
Example :I need to catch some Z's before my next flight which is due in 7 hours time.
5) To screw around-to waste time
Example :You'll be fired if you screw around all the time.
6) Far out-Really great
Example :The music played at the concert tonight was far out.
7) Goof up-make a serious mistake
Example :I goofed up by painting my hair purple.
8) Make waves-cause trouble
Example :The politician's controversial speech made waves around town.
9) Bummed-Depressed
Example :I was bummed on hearing the news about the recently hit recession in the country.
10 )Airhead-stuipd person
Example :My sister's boyfriend is an airhead. - บันเทิง

I love u and ur English talking.
Excellent interface
This is very helpful..
Please put a video on slangs used in the TV series "Friends", i missed some of them.
Dearest Ceema; Really Fantastic! Please, some more Slang Expressions!? Because, the 10 common Slang Expressions you've provided are considered as a drop of water, fetched from the Ocean. And the phrase you repeatedly use " nothing but..." is lovely to me. Your smile like Niharica is precious & intensifies to be addicted in English! Finally, the slang " Air head" is funny, though it is offending to say at the presence of the target. May I ask one question? Keeping the slang " Air head" in mind, is it possible to substitute "Muscle head" as a slang? In other words, could both "Air head" & "Muscle head" be equivalent?
It's a very good work teacher , Keep it up :D

Hi! Interesting video, indeed. Maybe, it would be necessary to know the region from the world in which these expressions are spoken. I understand there are diverse kinds of slang spoken in different regions of the world with their own meanings, for example, slang from American English, British English, English from Canada, Australia and so on. In this case, I do not think that it would be possible to talk about a universal slang in English. Anyway, many thanks for your lesson and good luck. Regards.
Tq very much mam
LOT OF THANKS
ceema its good lesson please continues
Thank u mam
thanq
Amazing
Look a treat!
Thanks mam 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
vary good
Amazing!!!!! I just Love It! i I look like an american!
thanks alot, what do these tow expressions mean: "you know the drill" 4:19 and "got you on your toes" 6:53
"you know the drill" means, in her context, "You've got the meaning now." She said it because she gave several examples. "Got you on your toes" in her context means "dancing". However, "keep you on your toes" means staying alert. Her English isn't that great... I would advise looking elsewhere to learn it.
i would like to see more videos ,but unfortuntaly i have to catch some z's since it's about 10 pm in here morocco thanks jay india
wow.Lots of new slang...!!!Now I become slangy...!!!
It was a very useful and practical lesson. THANKS A LOT!! Be good!!!
nice video
nice
Madam please one video for ... Difference between phrasal verbs and prepositional verbs....Please madam
really good
which one you used ? ;)
"Nothing but". she loves to say this phrase.
I have 2 slang words I recently learned from my sudents: 1: Snough = Sneeze+cough and 2: Turn up = To have fun (eventually with some alcohol drinking)
yeah.... u can listen to the song - turn up the music by chris brown :)
he actually having fun...
Thnx! I will!!!
I see you usually the structure "be nothing but somthing", so what does it mean? And we can use it in whic situation? tks in advance ^^
I would advise not using that phrase. "Nothing but..." means "simply" or the way she uses it you could also substitute "all it means is". "Nothing but..." implies something easy.
Hope that helps.
Hey guys. What does 'on your toes' mean?
As far as I searched, it means 'be ready to do something or react ' . but I think this expression in this video doesn't seem to that meaning. HELP
Hangout in Korea It means to be prepared or ready for something.
Nicee
it's time I blow out of here =to leave = to exit
my little brother is a pain in the neck = annoying person
I zapped out after a very long day at work= tired =exhausted
I might need to catch some z's= to get some sleep
if you screw around to much, you'll be fired=waste time
this music at concert was far out= something great
I goofed up by painting my house red= make a serious mistake
this statement makes waves around the town= cause trouble
after i heard the news about the recession,i really bummed= depressed or sad
my sister is dating an air head= some one stupid
hi seema nice coloers
Hello teacher Ceema.
My name is PJ, a Thai subscriber of your channel and a university final year student in B.A. course.
Mind if I have a question regarding to this slang, 'Catch some Z's'.
I really have no clue how 'Z's' related to 'Sleeping'.
Could you please clarify my doubt?
However, I really appreciate your teaching.
It's so far useful to improve my English skill.
Thank you so much.
:) :) :) :)
According to Cambridge Dictionary,
Catch / Cop / Get some z's
US informal
› to sleep
:) :)
The 'Z' is used only because the repeated sound of prounouncing the letter Z can loosely sound like someone snoring.
Robert A Lyon Hey! Sorry for a very late reply! Thank you so much.
Well, first of all, slang exists in all languages, not just in English. Second, Many many dictionaries have slang words. Cambridge, Macmillan, Oxford and the list goes on and on.
SERIA MUY BUENO LOS SUBTITULOS PARA LOS HISPANOBLANTES, TE AGRADECERIA BASTANTE
me imagino que en ingles...pero mira que si das la opcion de subtitulos parte inferior derecho lo puedes activar y aunque los subtitulos son algo obsoletos si tienes una idea del ingles vas a entender la clase...yo las entiendo con lo que sé y me ayudo de ellos...saludos...
Never before have I heard anyone say "slangs" - the term "slang" encompasses all of the different words and expressions that are used and so surely it doesn't need to be pluralised. Slang is interesting and fun for young learners of English, this video was neither.
The word does not exist in English.
Why not 'Seema'?? Anyways lesson was awesome!😘
this's a far out lesson . thanks
I'm born and raised in the U.S. 28 and NEVER use far out. it makes me think of a surfer stoner. You made me laugh when you said it. Not in a bad way. But it's just not used by many people.
Yu look georgeous
I suggest you should are you the thomas among your friend written by Thomas green
I've got a question. Are all of these slang words common in any English-speaking countries or just in UK?
ojideagu Thanks for replying. Could you point out which are wrong for me to avoid using them in spoken English?
They are all very common in the USA.
None of them are to be avoided. Just use them among friends and not to a boss or somebody you don't know very well.
who says like, "My little baby brother" is a pain in the neck..you simply could have said "my son" instead
Hello mam, I hav a doubt to sort out. 'I goofed up screwing around during my exams!!' Is the compilation of two slangs, Is it correct or wrong?
Yes, that's correct.
Slang is a collective term. It has no plural, madam!! take care! !
Informal language.
Преподавателя было два, или у меня двоится в глазах, хотя вроде не употребил С2Н5ОН? Но оба были в красном?!
Cute mam
take quiz on the link
Hope this helps: we might never use slang in the plural. I don't think I've ever heard "slangs" in my life.
Agree with you one this one, maybe no error but this is the first time I've heard "slangs" used. Also, in Australia, "screwing around" is very context dependent and "screw up" is to make an error.
Damn why are you teaching english when you're not even a native english speaker. Nobody says I'm going to blow out of here, zapped out, or far out.
add subtitles pls
Be careful saying you were bummed in Britain, It means getting done up the council gritter!
i am really bummed as I goofed up by making waves around
It doesn't matter where slang is used. Bosses and elders use slang too, e.g., "awful."
good morning teacher, your are teachers very well teacher very nicer teacher.
i am zapped out in the middle of the above vid
Your repetition of "its nothing but something" for each slang sounds too weird. You could simply say. ... This slang means. .......
These are like idioms I think
Sorry, but wouldn'it be ? It's time I Blew...
well it seems like your slang is not really common
I goofed up by sharing such negative comments about the lesson
