As a native (North American) english speaker, I enjoy this channel immensely. "Bound" can also be used to indicate a journey, as in "headed for", either literally or figuratively. "I'm bound for California". " He was bound for glory". She was raised in a good home but was bound for trouble from the start". This usage is a bit archaic in the literal form but not the figuratve - I guess it was bound to happen...

@gianlucac.8944 8 месяцев назад

Hey there Mike, I'd like to ask you something: in Italian we have a say which goes something like "with the ifs and buts you won't get anywhere". What if I said it to you during an English conversation? Would it just sound weird? Is there something similar you would say?

Your binomial, "no ifs or buts," caught my attention. I'm more accustomed to the trinomial phrase, "no ifs, ands or buts." Is that a North American variation (I'm Canadian), or is that phrase also common on your side of the pond??

@LetThemTalkTV 8 месяцев назад

Actually, I think you're right. When researching for the video I found Americans saying "no if and or buts" but here in the UK we omit the "and"

@raykloetstra8501 8 месяцев назад

@@LetThemTalkTV Hi Gideon. (Great name by the way. I have a grandson by that name!!) Here is another trinomial for you that is similar to "lock, stock, and barrel," which has a similar meaning but is used in a different context -- "hook, line, and sinker." It still carries the connotation of 'all, everything" but is used more in the context of something spoken, such as, "I fabricated a story to hide my responsibility for the loss of the contract and the boss took it hook, line and sinker." It is most often used with telling stories, lies, and deceptions. Have a great day!! Love your videos!!

@ronald3836 8 месяцев назад

My physics teacher unintentionally got the whole class laughing by saying (in Dutch) "zeker en vast" instead of "vast en zeker" (= most certainly). Later I realised that "zeker en vast" is standard Flemish, whereas "vast en zeker" is standard Dutch. In my family there are two sets of twins. Their names are always pronounced in the same order, and it would be really strange to reverse them. I suppose this a universal phenomenon.

@MichielHollanders 8 месяцев назад

Spick and span exists in Dutch too but I guess you knew that, I just read an article dating the expression in both languages to around 1570 while it's not clear (or so it was presented here) which of the two languages took it from the other, would you know any more about this specific case? Massive fan of your show, thanks!

I did not know it was used in touch. Perhaps the Dutch one came first. Many thanks

There is a cleaning product in the US called "Spic and Span" that my mom used in the 1970s. I think it's still sold here, but I've not thought of it for ages!

@MichielHollanders 8 месяцев назад

@@LetThemTalkTV interestingly, the spelling of the Dutch version is 'Spic en span' - the c in spic is a bit surprising to me. I wonder if this is an indicator for the origin. It's supposed to be a certain kind of nail which was used in Shipbuilding. But those are elsewhere referred to as spik with a k.

@MichielHollanders 8 месяцев назад

@@mathgeek7966 aha now the plot thickens! I just read that this cleaning product was imported into Holland from the 1920s. And the spelling of Spic in the name is with a c, not CK! Could it be the Dutch changed the spelling of the expression accordingly after half a century of using the American cleaning product?

@jepomer 8 месяцев назад

"Right as rain" is not used here in North America. It would be understood here, but more like "an accent". A couple pet peeves of mine are: • using "I" when "me" would be grammatically correct. Example "... to my sister and I" • "only" and "just" placed before the verb rather than after. Example "I only ran to the store" vs. "I ran only to the store". The first one precludes any action other than "running". The second one specifies that the store was the only place I traveled to.

@LetThemTalkTV 8 месяцев назад

"Me and my sister" is perfectly correct English. I'll be covering this fake rule in a future video.

@jepomer 8 месяцев назад

@LetThemTalkTV - "to my sister and me" and "to me and my sister" are both acceptable. My complaint is when "I" is substituted for the correct "me" in spoken English. I do look forward to that future video.
