Dead Heat
Today is gonna be a record breaking day of temperatures across the UK
All the record temperatures that have ever been recorded in the UK...
it's heating up here in Switzerland. And of course, it is incredible they have record breaking temperatures for the UK. For the very first time on record temperatures in the UK have exceeded 40 degrees.
This is crazy and strangely enough, today's expression dead heat or a dead heat because it's a noun has nothing to do with the warm weather.
A dead heat is when there is no single winner. Two or more participants tie for first place.
So, for example, the horse race finished in a dead heat.
Meaning both horses were in the finishing line at the same time?
Colorado is in a dead heat. That's where Donald trump is campaigning today. Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, is in a fight for Ohio where Trump has a slight lead she's there having gotten an assist from LeBron James who endorsed her over the weekend.
Is that clear to you? So by the way I am Daniel. I am the Vocab Man. And welcome back to this episode.
If it is too difficult for you to understand every single word.
Oh, don't worry, man.
You can just take a look at the transcript which i provide on The Vocab Man.
I am sweating so this is helping just a little bit.
And if you noticed, I have published several episodes recently. This might be stressful for you. So the heat is on. The situation has become more difficult because you need to learn more expressions. But, yeah, as I said, the heat is on, this is another excellent expression. The heat is on means when the heat is on a situation is becoming more difficult and busy.
And of course, guys, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Another great idiom. Which means that if you can't stand the pressure, if it is too much for you to listen to the Vocab Man and learn all the expression. So you just stop. So it is used. Um, someone is not good at dealing with a stressful situation.
After all said and done, I would say that all in all, I predict they're going to remain mostly in a dead heat.
Thank you for listening guys. I am the Vocab Man. Have a good one and keep it cool.
After all said and done, I would say that all in all, I predict they're going to remain mostly in a dead heat as they've been. And that's why I would call it a tie because I think we're gonna see maybe a bump in the polls for Trump. And then, you know, it might just level off again and be returned back to kind of a dead heat because it just, I don't know, man, maybe, maybe Trump will rise and, and like maintain a lead, but.
I don't think it's gonna be as much as I had initially thought it, it would've been. And if it does, it'll be because mostly of Bravado points, as I said, and not so much because he did such a fantastic job because I don't really think either of them did a fantastic job. They kinda sucked. It was, it was sort of a boring debate.
Daniel. I brought you a cool beer. That way you can cool off a bit.
Oh, thank you, Peter. This is awesome!
