Robin:	Absolutely. Hey Harp, did you get the shoes that you were looking for?
Harp:	Yeah, I got them.
Robin:	Seriously, you don’t seem so happy. Were they…
Harp:	I got ripped off. I paid a thousand dollars.
Robin:	What? You paid a thousand dollars for those shoes?
Harp:	Weren’t they on sale for seventy-five dollars?
Robin:	Robin, I saw that after and I can’t return these shoes.
Harp:	Wow.
Robin:	I got ripped off.

Maura: Bawk, bawk, bawk, Chicken!
Harp: Yes, our Catchword today is chicken.
Maura: Which for many of you listening out there…I’m sure you are thinking, “I already know the word chicken. It’s an animal.” But we do use it in another way.
Harp: Exactly, there is slang use for chicken.
Maura: Exactly. So you already know the original meaning of the word, which is the animal, but in English sometimes we use chicken to describe a person who is very afraid of something.
Harp: Yeah, someone who is scared of things.

Maura: You want to use dude with your friends in a casual environment like a party or something like that.
Harp: Yeah, so dude is an old word.
Maura: Yeah, and it has had a lot of different meanings that generally refer to a man.
Harp: Yeah exactly. And dude became popular in the 60s and the 70s in surfer culture and then it made its way into mainstream.
Maura: Yeah, so dude was really first used in a popular way by surfers, I guess maybe in California, somewhere where they surf in the USA.
Harp: Exactly, but we’ll talk about dude in the surfer culture in the Lipservice.

Robin : So for example, would you like to get down with me and my friends this weekend at the club?
Maura : Yeah, I love getting down to good music.
Robin : Yeah. Indeed.
Maura : So we wouldn’t use it in a professional way, to talk about professional dancing or performance. It is really just casual, for fun. What is another slang term for dancing?
Robin : We can talk about shaking your booty.

Harp : So I feel like you need to tell me about the last time that you were wasted.
Robin : The last time I was wasted, well, I was on a cruise ship, I was visiting one of my friends and he was working on this cruise ship and he had access to a lot of alcohol. He was friends with the people behind the bar and the first night I got on and he took me to the bar and we drank and drank and because of that I was pretty wasted.
Harp : Nice, I want to go on a cruise ship.
Robin : Yeah, you should come next time.

Maura: Well, I could say that I went to see a movie and the movie was crazy.
Harp:So, does that mean that it was mentally unstable?
Maura: No, it means that it was interesting, different, probably lots of energy.
Harp: OK, I understand, I understand. So, we use “crazy” in terms of something that is good, something fun, something exiting. For example, I went bungee jumping and it was crazy. Or I went skydiving, some adventure sport, something, you know?
Maura: Yeah, that’s a pretty crazy thing to do.

Maura – So like a stone they are not moving, they’re not showing any signs of happiness or if they are angry or not we don’t know. But I was thinking this could be good if you are playing poker, right because in poker you don’t want anyone to know what you are feeling. If you have a good hand or if you have a bad hand.
Harp – I have a really bad poker face. I can not be stone faced. When I have good cards, if someone looks at me, they know cause I have the biggest smile on my face.

Harp: “Hey, that’s a sweet bike,”
Maura: And “Hey, that’s a cool bike,” mean the same thing.
Harp:“I really like your new coat. It’s sweet.”
Harp: “Your new haircut is sweet.”
