Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Idioms 268. The idiom today is down with
-
someone or something. Okay. We have three meanings here and each meaning I'll give
-
two examples with. All right. So let's look at the first meaning. If someone ís ... if
-
someone says down with someone or something, he or she does not like them
-
and wants them to cease meaning like stop, fail or be removed. Get rid of them.
-
All right. So let's look at a couple of examples. The first example here says the
-
protesters yelled " down with GMO foods. " So maybe it was a protest about GMO foods.
-
All right or number two. During the French Revolution, many people shouted down with
-
the king and queen. So again remove them. Get rid of them. So down with them. Okay
-
number two. If someone is down with something , he or she agrees with or
-
approves of someone or something. So they like it. So it is a very different meaning.
-
All right. The first example here says I'm not down with doing anything that is
-
technically illegal. All right. So in this case it means that you don't agree with it.
-
Because remember, it can mean either agree or or approve and you're using in
-
the negative. So if you're saying you're not down with it. It means you don't agree
-
with it. You don't want to do it. So I'm not down with doing anything that is
-
technically illegal. So you don't want to get involved in that. Or number two. You
-
could say I'm down with going to KTV. Yes. Sometimes you say that you would like to
-
do it. You approve of something. You want to do it. I like to sing. So somebody
-
might say I'm down with it. So you you agree with it. You approve of it.
-
All right. The third one here means affected by an illness. So we could also
-
use down with in this sense, So number one here said, she called in sick because she
-
came down with the flu. All right. Yeah. So if
-
somebody you know, comes down with something or they are down with an illness. It
-
basically means that they caught it . They got it. All right.
-
Or number two here. She came down with malaria after her trip to Africa . Yes.
-
Okay. Good. So I hope it's clear. I hope you got it.
-
Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
