Hi dear
In California, we can use dude for anything. A guy can be dude, a girl can be dude, hell your phone can be dude. There's a nuance there that I can't explain.
Gentoo true dat
Yeah dude
There is even a song dedicated to it!
Californians are stupid. Explained it. Yes I’m a southerner, yes I hate California, yes I am a Republican, yes I hate Hollywood, yes I think California is fake as hell, yes you are right about using dude for anything.

hey can u elaborate about "couch potato"? one of my friends often uses it to call me. what does it mean?
"LEGIT", which means "awesome".
And thank you x 1000 for these new slang words I've been waiting for !!!
Devendra Rawat which means someone is lazy and always used to simply sit in front of TV
@Devendra Thanks for commenting. A "couch potato" refers to someone who is somewhat inactive and perhaps sits on the couch and watches TV all day.

Thank you so much, I hope you will create new lessons about the slang, it's so useful and interesting. I am grateful for your efforts really
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. Hope you have a great day. 😊
Awesome lesson! I found it very useful. I'm having exams at college the next three weeks, so I might say that I've been cramming for them. Btw, I have an American friend who lives in Washington DC and she visited me last year. She taught me a very useful phrasal verb which is "to flake out on". We were talking about dates gone wrong and guys who would never show up for a date. Then she used this phrasal verb to say "Girl, I'll never flake out on you." She meant to say that she'd never disappoint me, she'd never fail to keep a promise, she'd always stick to her word, she'd never cancel plans with me at last minute or without previous notice. I was glad to know that because I'm kind of distrustful of people who make promises and never keep them.
hi i'm from morocco can you practice with me english thanks
I dig that phrasal verb!" flake out on" i hate promising people but, i love flaking out on them.
Informal English is really helpful when compared to the formal one.
This video is simply awesome!! :-)

My husband is American and I was confused the first time he told me “let’s roll” 😂😂😂
LOL...Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. I imagine that may have been confusing. 😊
Along with... roll out
Does it means to have a romance?
@@user-lz7lo7hi2x lol, “let’s roll” means: it’s time to go now, usually my husband tell me that when we have to go somewhere and he is rushing me out because he wants to be on time.
@@ermopa7633 Now it's clear to me. Thanks.
This guy knows how to teach .I'll be on the front row as student
Love it!!! And the videos reinforce them incredibly 😃👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Teacher Wes. God bless You. ❤️🙏
Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting. 😃
This is so usefull thanks man
Thanks Junior. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 😊
Shocked. I always thought Bae was some sort of short for Babe. Awesome.
Also, I believe Dude went on to be acceptable for all genders, females too. I think now it's essentially used for any platonic non romantic but close friendship.
sort of.. in my world of the east coast millennial, "dude" is never used to refer to a female, although sometimes it will be used before saying something for emphasis. E.g. "dude, that is so not cool" or "man, I couldn't believe they did that" could be directed at a female, but even then not that often. I wonder if it's different in Cali
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed the lesson Pathan. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. Hope you have a great day! 👍

American slang allows us to have a closer communication with people from all over the world, there we find expressions that are very particular to their language and expressions that can become strange when we are sharing with English speakers. For these cases there are a series of adjectives and verbs that we can use constantly or as the conversation progresses.
Thanks for commenting & sharing with us Paolo. Have a great day! 😃👍

awesome, dude !
these are some slang phrases i picked up in California
" don't get it twisted "- to not misinterpret information
A: I saw my girlfriend walking with another guy, I think she's cheating on me.
B: Don't get it twisted, that's her brother.
" hands down "-without any doubt; extremely sure about something; usually used to emphasize likes and dislikes
This restaurant is way better than the one we went last time, hands down.
This video is the best, hands down!
A:- I saw him rob the girl's phone
B:- Are you sure?
A:- I know it was him, hands down
Nice. Thanks so much for commenting & sharing with us. Hope you have a great day! 😊

What's a slang for amarican other than Yankee.
What's up Ahmed? Good question. In Europe, Americans may be referred to as "Yankees." In Latin America, Americans may be referred to as "Gringos." 👍
And people from the south get offended if you call them Yankees or yankes because the Yankees were the Union soldiers. Southerners, people from the southern states of the US use Yankees to describe them.
Normally we use our state to describe ourselves. I’m Californian-from California, or I’m a New Yorker- from New York, Floridian- Florida, Texan- from Texas etc.
Patriot. Freedom lover. Stars and Stripes boy. Yankee in American means something else compared to the rest of the world. It involves the civil warZ
