Hey there, let's get into this - gonna have
a drink, because it's 2:00 somewhere, and I'm kind of thirsty for some ginger wine. Let's get into this! So, sometimes I have a problem because this
thing at the top of the bottle doesn't open. It doesn't come off - ahh, use my teeth. And we actually have very specific words to
take the top or the cap off of certain containers. So, when you're hungry, you're going to get
a snack going. Hmm, wine to snack, that's fine. I'm going to teach you some phrasal verbs
to help you when you have to open things. So, how to open things. First of all, probably the most important
thing, and you know the quality of the wine that I drink. If it is a twist off. Now usually, I like a nice Spanish rioja,
if anyone would like to donate a case. Red wine, thank you. And you can take off the cork, but this bottle
- because it's cheap - we twist off the cap. Delicious. So, twist off means you actually turn it and
that's a phrasal verb. So, I can twist off the cap of a bottle. Some beers are twist off. Be careful, you might break your teeth. The next thing we can do - I have a bottle
of sauce, and this sauce has a cap, okay? A cap and a lid, very similar, but a cap doesn't
come off all the way, and I flip up the cap. And then I can squeeze out some sauce - not
going to do that, not very delicious sauce. So, if I flip up the lid, I do like this. And we don't say "flip down the lid", we just
flip up and close. English, why are you so difficult? What's next on our list? Peel off, okay. Now, because Ronnie's very healthy, I have
some yogurt. And I actually have to peel - I don't know,
a lid. It's not a sticker, but we can say I peel
off the lid and then I eat it. Now, apparently, I don't have a spoon, so
I guess I'll save this for later. But it is my favorite blueberry. We'll get into that one after. So, peel off means you actually have to release
something that's sticky. This is awesome. This is very, very slang. And let's say that I have a pack of sugar,
or bust into. I can also use this for a bag of chips, because
you just can't wait to eat those delicious buggers in the bag. So, I can bust into - I open very quickly. Sometimes, it makes a noise - boom - like
an explosion of chips everywhere. Be careful, you don't want to get chips all
over your face. Very embarrassing. Sometimes, you're going to hear this wonderful
sound. Maybe, for me, one of the best sounds in the
world. Ah. I have just cracked open - it's not a beer,
it's a just drink. So, we usually say, "Oh, I cracked open a
beer", or I'm going to crack open a beer. In Canada, drinks we also call "pop". Some places in America say "soda", but in
Canada and in some places in America, they say "pop". So, I cracked open a beer or I cracked open
a pop, because it makes a sound like a crack. Don't smoke crack, by the way, okay? Just open it, right? Another thing I can do as a phrasal verb is
take off. So, I can take off the lid of my marker. Again, I can call this a lid or a cap. They're the same thing. And then I put on, so take off and the opposite
of this is put on the marker. Put on the lid, not the marker. This one is fun, too, because it actually
makes the sound of a pop. So, I can - oh cool, let's do it again! I can pop open a container. Oh! Fun, fun, fun! So, I popped open the container. This one is going to be really popular, I
think, in some time zones that we're in. Some eras that we're living in. I have some soap, but this could also be hand
sanitizer, maybe mayo? No. Maybe you have a pump. So, I'm going to press this down and I say
"pump out". So, I'm going to pump out some soap. I'm not going to eat this. I'm not even going to pretend to eat this,
because soap just isn't delicious. So, if you have trouble, like I do, with opening
things, at least now you know the phrasal verbs for them. So, you can pump out something. You can pop open something. Take off the lid. Crack open a beer. Bust into something. Peel off, flip up, or twist off. What's your favorite phrasal verb from this? Let me know in the comments, and I'll see
you later. I gotta go wash my hands.
