Bob's Short English Lessons Learn the English Phrases TO BLEEP OUT and TO BE OUT OF SOMETHING
Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO BLEEP OUT and TO BE OUT OF SOMETHING
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, to bleep out. Have you ever been watching a TV show or a movie and then sometimes the person says a bad word, like fu*% or sh%#, and instead of hearing the word, you just hear a beep, like I just put in this video? That's what we call bleeping out. When you say bad words on TV especially, sometimes they will bleep out the bad word, because they don't want people to hear the bad words. So there's a whole list of bad words that you're not allowed to say on TV. And if someone does say it, they will definitely bleep out the bad word. They don't do this as much in movies. Usually when you watch a movie, if you rent a movie, or watch it on Netflix, do people still rent DVDs? I'm not sure. They usually don't bleep out the bad words, but if you're watching something on TV and it has a bad word in it, often they will bleep out the bad word.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is to be out of something. This is kind of a funny phrase, because if you said to me, "Bob, can I have a glass of milk?" I might say, sorry, I'm out. If I say I'm out of milk, if I say I'm out of something, it means I don't have any more of it. So the other day, one of my kids was like, "We're out of milk," and I said, how can we be out already? That doesn't make sense. I just bought milk the other day, but I guess my kids drink it really quickly. And after a few days, we were out of milk.
So to review, when you bleep something out, it means that, or when something is bleeped out, it means you're watching something and instead of hearing bad words, you just hear a beeping sound, or a bleep. Beep and bleep are kind of the same thing. And to be out of something means that you don't have any more of it. And again, you can say thing like we're out, or you can say we're out of milk. You can actually mention the thing that you don't have anymore.
But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Athenasios. "Thanks for these phrases, Teacher Bob. Yesterday, I saw a driver who double parked, but it was just to pick up his child. I got the wrong idea about him." And my response was it's easy to jump to conclusions.
So that was from the video the other day, where I talked about the phrase to have the wrong idea, or to get the wrong idea about someone. And Athanasios used a phrase in there as well, "Double parked." When you're double parked, it means there's a car on the side of the road and someone parks beside that car, and then that first car can't get out. It's considered rude and it's actually illegal in Canada to double park. And then I used a phrase too, didn't I? I used the phrase, jump to conclusions. When you jump to conclusions, it means that you think something is true with only a tiny bit of evidence, or not very much evidence at all. It's not good to jump to conclusions. It's actually a bad idea.
