Improve your Vocabulary: Stop saying NICE & BEAUTIFUL!

sleep onion steve banyon you are stunning hi james from ingrid it seems that mr e thinks i'm stunning i am but not the way you think and by the time i'm done this lesson you'll understand why this isn't correct what are you saying although the shirt is stunning i like it and maybe you do too let's go to the board now a lot of students i did a video on very so if you want to see that after this it'll be helpful it will explain to you how people use the same word uh too many times and it leads to a boring conversation we call it redundant where you say the same thing again and again but more to the point or to be clearer it loses accuracy when the words i have on the board are said by native speakers one to another it gives a picture i'm going to give you an example in a second and if i know if i austin a person this and that they would have a very different picture in their head and if you want to become like a sorry become like a native no one wants to be common native but if you want to understand native speakers a lot better and you want to be clearer in your speech what you want to do is start taking some of these words that most of you will use the words beautiful cute nice what else do you usually say and cute those are your four words i'm going to give you at least 15 and just for the heck of it i'll give you three more for a bonus you like that let's go to the board and be careful and watch because you'll notice some of these words are going to be repeated in different categories the categories i've outlined here are place personality conversation a person's physical appearance but not in a they've got a big bum or whatever and also a little bit of around because we are all human after all let's go to the board so the first thing i want to talk about in places is this word cute i know i just made fun of it and said you know people who don't or english isn't their first language let's say i was going to say don't speak english but if you're watching this video you're clearly understanding some english but i said cute was one of the words they go to that's because they think everything's cute but we do have a meaning in english and this is funny if you hear someone say cute and they're talking about your house they usually think it's small if i go oh you know what mr e's got a really cute place it's nice it is it's like we talk about for homes and condos but we say it's usually small on the small side and it's nice nothing special but it's nice it's you know you can go there and think it's nice but you'll notice how small it is and that's why i put up condos and homes the rest of these are for homes and they could be for galleries or museums or cities right but when it comes down to it you use cute for homes and condos if you said it about a city you'd be saying it's not really a city it's small so some people who come from london england or new york city or paris or cologne they come to toronto and go toronto is a very cute city it's very cute because it's like a city but not really it's lovely anyway next charming charming means pleasant once again it means nice and remember i said cute nice good looking it's different though and when someone talks about a place being charming it means it has character there's something unique about it it's not just nice it's got its own kind of flavor for instance you go into some homes and they have gloss everywhere and metal everywhere and white everywhere and that's modern you probably wouldn't say it's got character y because it's modern yeah i know it's funny because you think that's special but if you go to a house and it's got a nice wood-burning fireplace it's got bricks on the walls you know the wall's got bricks it's got a wooden floor and it's got you know bros going up the stairs you'd go the place was really charming it had this character to it it's like from another time so we talk about places that are charming as having character they could also just be something that has a lot of a cultural influence like i went to a uh colombian restaurant uh two or three years ago and they decorated it as if it were out of colombia and outside it was toronto i stepped inside uh whoa i'm in a different current country and i thought it was really charming because it felt authentic and authentic means real so it made me enjoy the meal more because i felt like i was having this real meal in a real place that wasn't really there okay now elegant is a bit different elegant is sophisticated it's it's stylish you know it's this elegant well this isn't quite elegant but you get the point so when something's elegant this might be a gold and black a gold watch with black leather band or something it's stylish sophisticated it has taste and cloths so if someone has an elegant home you know there is probably leather chairs in there and a wooden floor don't forget the fireplace here's an interesting word opulent most north americans won't think of this word when they describe a house because when i think of the house like this i think of the biggest house imaginable inside they have columns like roman columns they also have wooden floors they will have ceilings that are 20 feet tall extremely wealthy people have opulent houses and this is because the things there are expensive and they're luxurious right so they're not things your their couches are not coming from sears or walmart they're coming from ralph lauren couches you buy the shirt they buy the couch okay opulence so i'm going to give you a few more words because this is for places right so i'm talking about your homes if you're visiting someone's house you might use some of these words and even though we said sophisticated and stylish for instance for elegant i didn't say it's it has to be just for wealthy people you can have an elegant home and not be wealthy it just means you've picked really good things and made the place look really good okay but when it's opulent you can smell the money literally right i smell rich corinthian leather as i walk through the passages or from the oak and the pine stairways right and the dust from the marble comes into my nostrils now these ways we can also talk about people's places but usually once again i put them down here because this has to do more with a nice wealthy or affluent home affluent means having money but the funny thing is we also use these same words for nature and you've noticed i put the word nature behind beside it because as i say them you'll kind of go wow yeah i've seen a sunset and it can be truly stunning perfect example so if you say somebody's home is stunning it doesn't necessarily mean it's filled with lots of wealth it just means it could be so well put together the colors are right furniture is right that you walk and you're like wow this is really cool in north america we have a lot of tv programs renovation programs where you see the house looking one way and it's okay you wouldn't say oh my gosh this is terrible you go it's a house people live here then they come in and renovate they fix the house and you see the people walking through go oh wow oh oh and they're stunned because the change is so dramatic because stunning means that something has hit you it can be physical but usually mentally something hits you and it makes you stop right there you're stunned and it's almost like you can't move you're just so much information coming in that your brain doesn't know what to do stunning and it means impressive or incredible and if you've ever seen an italian sunset over at terrace in i don't know i'm trying to think of no tuscany or something you'd probably go oh my god the sky is like filled with colors it's truly stunning it makes you takes your breath away you probably want a glass of red wine when you're watching it anyway the next which is similar to that is breathtaking these are things that give you a physical reaction to it we can say the same thing here nature once again it's about nature usually it's usually large and beautiful so when you go into a forest or you're on top of a mountain maybe you're on everest you're looking down and you look down on everest and everything's so small and everything's white and it's beautiful and you're like i'm on everest and the sight is breathtaking it means literally takes my breath away it is so large because the area everest is tall and so beautiful that it almost stops you from breathing stops you from thinking stunning stops you from breathing breathtaking and it's usually a large large beautiful space so you wouldn't go to a small condo get in the condo go my god it's breathtaking hold on oh yes it's breathtaking let me look over here it's too small okay you can see it just by turning your head but uh if it's a large mansion with great green rolling hills and you know they play polo up there it could be breathtaking it's beautiful but nature itself is breathtaking now i'm going to give you a word we don't usually use it for nature but it can be and it talks about a very specific type of nature but it would also talk about a very specific type of home rare and special if someone lives in a castle from 1572 and they've got it done you know with modern things in it but it looks absolutely perfect you would say it's exquisite because this thing is rare and very special there's nothing quite like it so if you go into there's a trench i think the mourinho i can't remember the trench uh that goes down to the water so i won't even go there because i forgot but let's say the amazon rainforest i mean some of the places there are exquisite because you look and there are flowers there are nowhere else on the planet earth and animals and creatures and people even that we've never seen so the rainforest is exquisite because it's rare and special so you almost only place on earth like it right so we should take care of it but that's another conversation so in this case we've talked about places and i've given you words that aren't just beautiful beautiful could be used here but we have a better word breathtaking it's not just cute or nice or good looking we can talk about places as well as people and that's kind of cool because now you've taken some words you've known and we're using them to show new words you can now use and elevate your conversation and if you've noticed the way i said it just saying hey your place is really cute i'd go thank you i know it's small you know it's small but at least you think it's attractive so you're getting much more accurate on the way you speak to people and it's not just about people are cute you can see we can use it in different ways okay next let's talk about personality i know you want to talk about people but you have your four words and i want to break that habit to give you a little bit more you know of an expansive vocabulary a larger vocabulary so let's talk about people what do you say when you meet someone like hi my name is jenny i'm on the cheerleading team and i also like skiing and i also like and they're always so happy and it's just like bubbles are coming off them like pop right or soda if you're in the states it's like what we say effervescent bubbly and fizzy fizzy is what's in those drinks like a cola and those those physics are making you feel good bubbly means kind of excited and happy so when somebody's effervescent and trust me most people aren't going to say this word so when you say i like joanie she's got an effervescent personality they'll be like damn where'd you go to school we didn't learn that in our school you got a dictionary and you go yes it's called my mind okay so effervescent now we usually uh i have to be honest it's not usually used for men and it's usually used for younger women and i'm saying like teenage girls up to their 20s would probably be effervescent if you say an older woman is effervescent it would be a compliment but a kind of a strange one because then she probably wouldn't want to be seen like a little girl and if you said a big burly guy he's effervescent i go i'll kick your butt if you say that again is he doesn't want to be bubbly now for some of you guys who think in a box it doesn't mean gay it means happy and it means like really happy and jumpy and full of energy just like when you crack open a coke and the bubbles come up next demure this is a funny word to me because it sounds so heavy and so depressing but the mirror just means to be shy and reserved so for some of you guys who only know the word someone is shy this word is a little bit more technical because someone can seem shy but they're reserved meaning they're not necessarily shy they just don't like to speak they want it they're conservative so they speak when necessary and not necess speak only when necessary and not more than that so if you say this man or this woman is demure it doesn't mean they're completely shy but they are going to be reserved and they may be shy but it's also to speak to older people because kids you can say are shy as a grown man you don't want to say he's shy if you say he's rather demure then it gets to play with reserved so you're giving him that kind of respect but also the understanding of shy so the other person understands okay they're not going to be running around the room like james talking to everybody okay all right so next because we've got bubbly then we've got almost the exact opposite we've got easy going this is your kind of guys who come in the room and you know what i'm saying um you know not brad pitt but the other guy he's always kind of soft when he speaks from texas can't remember his name right now you know what i'm saying um i forgot i can see his face i can't remember his name um easy going they're relaxed and they're patient so they're good with kids if you trip on them they're like no problem it's okay it's not that they're weak and you can do anything you want they're just they're really pleasant to be around they're relaxed so they want you to be relaxed they want everybody to have a good old time and just relax matthew mcconaughey hey you know him never wears a shirt mcconaughey if you watch him talking he's got to draw he's from texas you just want to sit down and go can i go to bed now he's really kind of cool like that that's matthew okay charming charming for those of you who know i like superheroes oh you all know i'm going to talk about the number one guy but i'll give you the obvious one for you guys tony stark is charming if you watch iron man he's charming he knows how to talk to people people like him and he's got that kind of swagger it's kind of cool james bond is charming things gria james graha or should i say poland james bond and people like wow he's so cool man he's charming they're attractive and they're nice isn't quite the word there nice is they may they are nice enough to make you feel comfortable they might not say always nice things but they will make you smile that's funny he insulted me but i thought it was funny too or wow you said something that made me feel really good charming people know how to speak to people that they feel good when they're around them right and everybody has a good time because they are magnetic they bring people to them now remember this is just personality we haven't talked about what people look like i'm like yeah it's about time you up your vocabulary because we teach people you know tall short fat and i'm like why don't we do something a bit more and give them a little bit more interesting conversation to have because in your own language you would be able to describe a person more than this man is tall and he is already skinny you'd also say he's very charming i like him you know his wife has an effervescent personality which would lead people to go what do you mean by that and expand your your conversation capability back to the board next we're gonna go to open minded this is interesting because enough students don't know this open-minded and i say this because i would like to think i'm open-minded but i'm in north america if i went to another country i may not be as open-minded and in my country but i'm very open-minded because maybe i don't have the ability to accept new ideas so when you say somebody is open-minded it means you can bring something they've never heard about and they'll go okay that seems thing that seems reasonable it doesn't mean they believe everything they're told but they're willing to listen to new ideas and think about them now some of you are like what i'm like yeah me too it doesn't happen all that often it does you get people are open-minded but an open-minded person is really cool i mean and if they had most of these things if they were charming easygoing and open-minded the world is theirs people just love them to death because these are rare people you want to get some of these characteristics yeah i do right i wouldn't mind being effervescent a little bubbly here and there now i put these ones in blue underneath just as i did blue over there to show you wouldn't say someone's enjoyable pleasant or enlightening this is conversation it's a way of saying so what was the conversation like with mr e oh it was rather enjoyable it means i had fun i enjoyed it it was nice chatting with them this one means fun this means good it was pleasant it was nice and the last one is interesting enlightening means i learned something so if you say a conversation was enjoyable it means maybe they talked about a few jokes you talked about people you knew and you had fun right it was fun pleasant you see the word please coming for pleasing means it made you happy it was a pleasant conversation it was a good conversation an enjoyable conversation doesn't have to be a nice or good one it just means at the time maybe you were debating and you had a good time chatting about it that was enjoyable it doesn't necessarily mean pleasant pleasant means it made you put your smile it was nice you talked about puppies and kittens or someone's having children or someone's getting married it was pleasant it was nice enlightening is interesting because it means when i finished talking to this person i learned something i didn't know before i grew as a human being i learned something new so it was enlightening i learned something and that's really cool now finally let's get to the one that most people wanted to start with and the reason why i did these first is because i want you to learn something new before we go over something you already know some of these you're going to see and you'll go we know these ones aren't yeah i know but you'll see how some of these are on the other side of the board and then seeing how i got you to understand the idea here so when we go here you can see oh it's not just he is cute she is cute i can use it for something else right i think i also have breathtaking same thing right so let's go to the board check it out cute cute means attractive it doesn't mean that they're beautiful but if you hey she's kind of cute it means they are attractive and probably a little bit more than normal attractive you wouldn't say somebody who is 50 50 is cute they will you'd say they're okay they're okay but if they're cute they're a little bit better than that you know he's kind of cute she's kind of cute that means i find you attractive which is the next word attractive attract what does it mean like a magnet brings it to you when someone is attractive they bring attention to themselves you find them something nice and pleasant to look at right so when you say someone's attractive you're going to say people look at them so once again they're not 50 like okay or so-so and by the way okay and so so are attributes you can say about someone if you say hey james good-looking so-so which is true it means it's not great looking not ugly ugly but not great-looking either so-so it's okay all right handsome well when someone's handsome usually they have that square if they're a guy they have a square jaw superman square jaw high cheekbones those eyes right so when we say handsome is usually reserved for men funny enough it's also for women two types of women an older woman can be handsome which means she is mature and attractive so when you look at her she is attractive i bet she's mature she's not 20 she's not 30. she's probably 40s 50s maybe 50s 60s and there's she's a good-looking woman um i'm trying to think of like a dame the one that played in the bond movies judy dench she's a handsome woman you know she's older oh yeah but is she ugly no no she's dreading like well you can't say she's beautiful and ravishing no because the way but she is handsome she's an attractive woman he's like yeah yeah she is now i said for an older mature woman now when a woman is younger but maybe she has a square jaw like she has strong features she doesn't look like a man because some of you go she looked like man yeah i'm like no she doesn't but she might have high cheekbones a square jaw it's not soft like barbie but she's good looking but there's a strength in her face i like to think of rocky uh bridget nielsen from rocky when you see her she's got the blonde hair and she like i'm a russian woman and you're like whoa she's good looking but i'm scared she's a handsome woman not soft sharp strong features handsome so this can be used for men and women men is any man can be handsome after he becomes a man so you wouldn't say a boy is handsome boys and girls are usually cute but if a man is you know 16 18 and up he can be handsome from 16 up to 80 if people think he's that good looking and a woman two different ways she can be younger and handsome with strong features or a more mature woman who's handsome because she's older next good looking you've heard that before good to look at that's what it means good to look at good looking need we say more i don't think so i think you know what that means what about stunning i already explained it to you do you remember what i said to this like you walk into a wall you're stunned your brain goes what just happened to me the same as in when you look at nature you get and you see a sense like oh my god it's stunning you just shut your mouth and you look the same can be said when you see a human being you're walking down the street minding your business you've never seen something that beautiful walk by you before you stop you physically stop your mouth stops maybe your mouth falls open and your head just rotates that person's stunning means so good looking they stopped my thought process they interrupted my thought process that whatever i was thinking about i stopped to pay attention to them remember i talked about breathtaking what does that do i'll give you examples because i gave you the example here nature can be breathtaking a father seeing his daughter walk down the stairs in her bridal dress remembering she was a little girl now she's a woman and she's wearing that white dress thinking the best he's ever seen his daughter will have a tear and he probably won't speak because it's breathtaking seeing how beautiful she is a woman seeing her child for the first time ever who might not say anything she'll be stunned tears rolling down it's breathtaking it takes your breath away something is so beautiful it stops and we use this term because it stops a natural function you don't have control over you breathe whether you think about it or not when something's breathtaking you'll go and he just stops like brain goes don't breathe we've already been stunned now we're not breathing this is incredibly beautiful breathtaking gorgeous i love gorgeous because gorgeous has to gorge oneself means to eat and filled oneself with something gorgeous in this case means to fill the eyes with something so someone says somebody is gorgeous it means i want to eat you up with my eyes you're just so beautiful you're so beautiful it's too good to be true can i keep my eyes off of you and that's what it is you're so gorgeous it's just like oh i want more of you i want to see more and more of you okay these words if you say okay you say someone's cute attractive handsome or good looking those are nice and people will say them in pleasant conversation rarely will they say stunning breathtaking or gorgeous if you see someone talking about another person okay ladies i'll give you this um if you're a lady and your man doesn't know you're there okay and he's talking to his friends and he says to your friends my girlfriend's stunning breathtaking or gorgeous you are a hundred percent stunning breathtaking or gorgeous if he only says it to you in your house when the doors are locked the tv's turned up loud and there are no neighbors around he is lying to you people don't use these words i make this story to tell you true people don't use these words unless it's true and they will say it to anyone because everyone will say absolutely that's a gorgeous baby babies can be gorgeous because new life is gorgeous right or a baby can be breathtaking or stunning when you're an adult it gets harder for people to say that because you're not a new life you've lived something we all look different but when people say this in public and sometimes you see it in beauty shows beauty pageants look at her she's gorgeous a lot of people hollywood like to throw that word around i hate that you notice i didn't put beautiful because they say that word as well and you know it but these words means you're not normal you're above way above average so listen for them carefully and that's why you notice we use them for nature right because nature isn't normal it's it's beyond us it's above us so we're always in awe and we think it's special and it's breathtaking it's stunning and nature can be absolutely gorgeous red hot words for words you want to say that a little bit more okay because we talked about this you can't and i said you can't use these words all the time so what are you going to say when you're walking down the sea street you see a ah hey i'm thinking about a good looking woman what do you say right you can say this for men as well by the way sexy sexy because they make you think of sex it means they have if it's a man broad shoulders strong looking nice chest and he could be sexy he's got a good body a woman if her body is like that we say sexy hot muy calor very hot right that was very hot i said in spanish but she's very hot hot means like sexy like like flame they burn you because they're so good looking here's one because i don't want you just going into lower language the whole thing is to make your language more expansive as i said live and you're going what is life teacher i'm going to tell you something don't worry i'm going to guess about 40 of native english speakers who just saw that word just went that's a spelling mistake he meant live i went no i didn't i meant live this word means supple flexible moves with elegance youthful so when you see a lie of the body it's usually like an athletic body think of a gymnast or a ballet dancer they'll have that body that just you're like oh it's life just feels full of energy and power it's youthful it's beautiful the way it moves so if you say she has a lithe body it's actually better than sexy and hot because sexy and hot if you're a woman you wear a top low enough and you walk the right way you could be sexy to be live means to move with this kind of balance and elegance and just this suppleness of movement almost it's hard to describe except by wishing some of our finest athletes you want somebody to say that about your body now if we want to go back to the hot and sexy way of saying things just say ravishing because when you ravish food it means you eat it like an animal so if i say you're ravishing it means i want to eat you like an animal you're just so beautiful and that my friend is much better than saying hot or sexy now if you're in the bar with your friends and you see a girl over the there and use of you know two or three you guys you go hey she's hot if you say hey she's ravishing they're gonna go have another drink and shut up she's hot not ravishing but if you read romance novels or if you're talking to your lady you want to whisper in her ear you look ravishing tonight and she'll be like all live in your arms cool see how we did that you've just taken these two words and upped it you're welcome and speaking of being welcome i want to make sure you know half of these words and it's not just me talking up here and you're going great yeah yeah i hope you took notes because that's something you should do when you watch these videos in fact i'm going to reiterate that please don't watch my videos unless you have a pen or paper i know this is not always possible but if you want to get the maximum amount of every video i do take a pen and paper write it down and look for things you don't know if i didn't explain it properly because at the end of these videos people make comments and you can always leave a question and i've seen people answer them all right make this your lesson by doing something with it and not just watching passively and you'll notice within 5-10 lessons your english is going to just change cool all right time for me to do the quiz let's go to the board and we're back let me see what we have available for us and our test as you can see we have five questions on the board i think you paid attention to the lesson there was there were some things repeated which makes it a little easier but you've got the different meanings for words that you probably thought you knew like you was a cute person knowing that you can talk about an apartment to talk about the size of something and by the way you can also talk about if you think somebody's small or short and they're attractive you can call them cute as well because we usually think good looking people are taller that's just an aside but keep that in mind okay so we have five questions here number one is her personality was something she was bubbly and fun what would be the answer to that one ah like the soda pop remember i told you about that one effervescent i'm sorry i had an x-ray effervescent she was effervescent bubbly alive like pop exciting what about number two he was very something with a strong jaw on high cheekbones like a spartan warrior yeah handsome and what else did we say about handsome handsome could be for women as well if they are mature women older women or if they have strong features like because handsome men have strong features it's not just you can have pretty boys pretty men that look nice but they look kind of like women we don't call them handsome we actually call them pretty boys handsome can be for man or woman meaning strong features that make them very attractive okay how about this one this one might be a little tricky for you because i didn't give you i've given you basically the answer needed at the very end so you have to read the whole thing so read it one more time and think if you can get it okay so she had a something nature she tended to be shy and quite reserved now those are the key words you should be looking for shy and quite reserved in what she wore and her personality that's right demure remember we talked about demure being a little bit shy and reserved i said personality but what i didn't mention but i put it here was what she wore demure if someone is demure they will wear more conservative clothing so if it's a woman she'll wear a dress but the dress will probably come up here go beneath the ankles or down the knee down low on her leg and not show too much skin basically it's not that it's old-fashioned it will be more conservative right reserved or another word we say is modest okay so you're getting vocabulary for me like crazy now if someone's modest they don't like to show a lot they keep things to themselves they're a little bit more quiet now oh this is interesting the house he lived in was very luxurious and the most expensive on the street right it was the something the most something house in the city what would that be luxurious very expensive opulent this house is opulent most opulent house in the street house in the city and finally she was so something people would stop in the streets when they saw her what would that be i'll be honest this is a trick one so i'm going to give you a second or two to think about what the possible answer would be yeah okay some of you were smart you caught it i was trying to be tricky because she could be or she could be because both of these things would stop someone's normal behavior right stop their breathing stop their thinking stop their motion i did this one to show that just because i say one word has this meaning it doesn't mean in context in the real world that it always has to be this way or that way once you have an understanding of these words you'll notice that sometimes these two could go here but definitely you wouldn't put stunning i'm stunning house in the city when i'm talking about wealth and luxury this is the nuance of language or the subtlety or the smallness the small things in language that make you a future native speaker right knowing this will give you a leg up or give you the ability that other language students don't have when they have that that nice good-looking handsome cute as their whole thing for describing people you can now not only say different words but you know when you want to put different words in to get more emphasis so breathtakingly stunning is like and you know by saying that changing those two words the effect may be the same but how you describe it puts a different picture in my head or a different understanding of my body or the way i hear it cool all right so of course because you've come to the end of the video when you do the quiz we have a bonus section and i would like to give you the bonus now by giving you some other words that can talk about things and people for instance alluring if you say someone is alluring you're talking about their personality you're saying they are attractive in a mysterious way you don't know it's sort of like it's not even just for people if you have a cologne you go oh that cologne is alluring it's like there's something i don't know is it cinnamon is it is it lemon is it is what is in that cologne that makes it smells it's alluring it's mysterious yes it's attractive it makes me interested right personality some people are alluring and their personality is that you talk to them you don't know what it is about them but they just make you attracted to them and it doesn't have to be sexual it could be though it can be sexual it's sometimes someone's alluring is you just want to be near them because there's something about them maybe they travel a lot they've got a lot of expertise or wisdom and they attract you they're alluring engaging is different notice how they say this one's attractive and this one's create interest similar but not the same an engaging conversation makes you want to stay there see with alluring it attracts you engaging once you've been attracted you can leave when someone's engaging to engage means to create a connection so when they start talking they want you want to be a part of the conversation you want to be there you want to be part of it right and they create interest that's why there's a connection they make you interested in what they're talking about a lot of people find politics engaging and some others find politics not that engaging because it doesn't create a connection so even though i'm using this word if there's not a connection there's just arguments you wouldn't say the conversation was engaging right but if when you're done you're like wow that was really that was interesting i didn't know these things not exactly the same as remember we talked about the other one in lightning and lightning is like i didn't know that at all wow that blew my mind sometimes conversations are enlightening you learn something right but maybe not engaging you will have many engaging conversations where you create a connection with another person and you create interest in that person and the subject itself may not be enlightening you might talk about the same things you've discussed it's just fun but a lot of engaging conversations become enlightening conversations if you go far enough and you get a deep enough connection cool now exquisite this is an interesting word i don't use it that often i don't have exquisite money and you might go what well exquisite means rare and special we can use exquisite when we talk about and a lot of times they will say if a woman is beautiful for instance a man can be exquisite as well it means their beauty is special it's not like any other beauty it's different than people can be beautiful but this is different why because it's rare it's like one in a million people look like this uh brad pitts they used to say brad pitt tom cruise um the new guy patterson who's gonna be batman they'll go he's exquisite the very people few people look like them and that makes them special diamonds are exquisite and that's why i said i don't use that word i am not exquisite nor do i have exquisite money so a ferrari is an exquisite car rare and special not everyone has one so you can use it for beauty and you can use it for things cool next i say next but it's homework time i
