Catch Word #267 – Burst your bubble
Nobody likes to be disappointed, but it happens to all of us at some point of our life,...
“I was so nervous. I was sweating bullets!” That might sound a bit strange, but it’s a common English expression. Sweating bullets means to be very stressed or nervous. Does that happen to you sometimes? In this Catch Word episode, Andrew and Kassy teach you two idioms with the word sweat: no sweat and sweating bullets. After this episode, you’ll know how to use these expressions perfectly!
Catch Word is the Culips vocabulary series that teaches you idioms, expressions, and phrasal verbs that are useful in everyday life. Improve your English, grow your word power, get fluent faster with Catch Word!
Do you know that you have anywhere between 2 to 5 million sweat glands in your body? But don’t worry, even though many people don’t like sweating, it is a healthy part of life.

Hello dear culips team,
The episode was nice as always. My question is: What does SAT mean? Or is it a mistake?

Great question, Holger. SAT = Scholastic Aptitude Test. It’s the exam most American high school students need to take in order to attend college. The exam has a vocabulary section and some of the difficult words that appear in the part of the test are sometimes called ‘SAT words’ or ‘SAT vocabulary.’ Hope that helps!
Thanks Andrew, of course it helps. You and your team have been helping me for a long time, I believe 4 years. And I have the same fun as in the beginning, maybe even more, because I notice my improvement. Go on like this!

Thank you Andrew and Kassy for a nice episode, I have a question, I know you might answer before, What does “culips” mean? and why did you choose this name for your podcast?
Glad you liked this one! Culips is a blend of the words culture and lips. We feel it is a good representation of what we do here at Culips – teach our listeners how to speak English (lips) and about the culture of English speaking countries (cu).
Thank you for your reply, Yeah, it’s true and this is what makes you different and enjoyable, keep going ❤
