Expression of the week- Pardon my French!

Well, first of all I'd like to wish everybody a very happy 2013!
I haven't written in a long time because I've been extremelly busy working on my website (Skype Classes Luisa), but I'm really happy with the results we are getting.

Anyways, let's get to the Expression of the Week- Pardon my French! I was watching an old movie (actually, a classic of the 80's) called Ferris Bueller's day off. Have you seen it? Well, this expression was used at least 2 times during the movie and it reminded me of the mother of the first American family whom I lived with, she (was Scotish) used this expression quite often.

The idea of the post is to show you guys a video where you can see one of the characters using this expression. I think that by watching it you can guess the meaning of the expression.
I won't write the meaning of it today because I'd like to see your guesses first.
So, enjoy the video, leave your guesses and see you soon!

Expression of the week- same old same old

Hello, hello!

I heard the expression of the week on a TV show about cars. While I was looking for the video of this show on Youtube I found the video of a song.
The title of this song is the expression of the week- same old same old. Before I explain it, let me just express my opinion about this song and this singer: AWESOME!!!

So watch the video, enjoy the song and then read the explanation of the expression "same old same old".



 So, same old same old is an expression used to say that a situation or someone's behaviour remains the same, especially when it is boring or annoying; to say that nothing has changed, on the contrary, it is just the same.

Example 1:
A: Hi Jack, how is everything?
B: Same old same old (everything is the same)

Example 2: The husband says to his wife: "I'm going to stop drinking that much". The wife, who knows her husband so well answers: "yeah, same old same old. (you always say that, but you never change)

Example 3: I bought the new Corolla, but it was same old same old. (there were not many differences, it was like the old model)

Got it? (did you understand it?) I hope this post has helped you and that your life is not same old same old.

See you next time!

Expression of the week- to run some errands - Correction

Hi everyone,
after a long time, the Expression of the Week is back.
And today's expression has everything to do with our busy lives.

Definition: to have some things to do, like going to the bank, going grocery shopping, taking the clothes to the dry cleaner, picking up the kids from school... something quick!

Example1 : I can't go to the movies with you today, I still have some errands to run! (the same as- I still have some things to do.)

Example2: Before we start our trip we have some errands to run.

NOTE: We normally  say "some errands to run"

I hope this post can be helpful. If you have any questions, just let me know.

This post has been corrected because the expression was not spelled correctly. I apologize for the inconvenient. You can check the definition and the spelling on this link:
