  • Hello and welcome to The English We Speak with me, Feifei

  • and me, Roy.

  • We may sound a little differentthat's

  • because we are not able to record in our normal

  • studios during the coronavirus outbreak. In this

  • programme, we have a phrase that means

  • to keep talking about something - usually

  • in a boring or annoying way. You kept talking

  • about some band this morning.

  • What were you banging on about?

  • What do you mean 'banging on'? I wasn't

  • hitting anything this morning with a pan!

  • I was just talking about music with Neil.

  • Exactly! You were talking about it so much,

  • and I was trying to work.

  • 'Banging on about something' isn't literal,

  • and why would you mention a pan?!

  • It means you were talking about something to

  • a level that it became annoying.

  • Ahhh, the way in which you kept talking about

  • that film 'Unicorns Eat Bananas in the Stars'!

  • You banged on about it so much last week that

  • people left the room.

  • That film is amazing.

  • Feifei, you kept giving people spoilers, and

  • nobody went to see the film in the end because

  • you kept banging on about everything that happened.

  • Well, that's your opinion, Roy.

  • Anyway, let's listen to these examples

  • My friend keeps banging on about where he's

  • going to go when he buys his new car.

  • It's really frustrating.

  • That person on the bus was really annoying.

  • She kept banging on about how the prices had gone up.

  • Will you please stop banging on about my project!?

  • If you think you could do a better job,

  • you can do my work for me.

  • This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning

  • English and we're talking about the expression

  • 'bang on about something', which is used

  • to say that someone is talking about something

  • so much that it is annoying or irritating.

  • Sorry, Feifei. I didn't mean to say you

  • were banging on about that film. Everyone

  • did love your enthusiasm about it.

  • I'm sorry too, Roy. I just wanted to know

  • more about the band you were talking about,

  • so I found it annoying that I didn't understand.

  • Well, next I'll tell you more about it.

  • That's OK. I think I've heard enough about

  • your taste in music for one lifetime,

  • but thanks anyway. Bye, Roy.

  • Bye.
