  • Guys do you know any of these words?

  • Ok, so don't worry guys, if you don't know any of them, don't worry. That's why I'm here,

  • to teach you the meanings of all of them. All that is coming right up.

  • Eat Sleep Dreamers, welcome to another lesson with me Tom. If you haven't met me before

  • I teach fresh modern British English so that you can take your English to the next level

  • and achieve your life goals. Now today I've got a bit of a special one for you because

  • today we're going to be looking at ten new words that aren't in your course book or your

  • text book. Now our course books and text books are fantastic. Don't get me wrong, I love

  • them, I think they are really valuable resources. But once they are printed, that's it we can't

  • change what's in there. And in English there are so many new words that are coming into

  • the language all the time. So I want to keep you guys updated, I want to keep you guys

  • informed with the latest English that is widely used. So these ten words are widely used now

  • in English. You can see them in spoken English, written English, on social media that's where

  • you are going to see them, ok? So hopefully, these are going to be ten words that are going

  • to update your English so that you have an understanding of modern British English.

  • Our first word is 'millennial', a millennial. A millennial is a noun and it's someone that

  • became an adult in the 21st century. So someone now that's in their twenties, roughly. Now

  • the exact age range is debated. Some people suggest it's teenagers now, some people suggest

  • that it could be as old as thirties so anyone that is between their teenage years now and

  • in their thirties could be a millennial. So technically I am a millennial although I'm

  • not sure I feel like one. So anyway, a millennial is someone born in this time that has become

  • an adult in the 21st century. And they have certain characteristics that are maybe different

  • from the previous generation like our parents. You'll see this word a lot in media so in

  • news articles, on television people talking about 'what do millennials like to do?' 'How

  • do millennials spend their time?' you know, you always see these kinds of questions and

  • articles in newspapers, magazines, on tv. 'Are millennials addicted to social media?'

  • you'll see these kinds of articles all the time. Ok, let's do an example sentence 'Are

  • you a millennial?' Alright, next phrase.

  • Number two is another noun 'a troll'. Now we are going to look at the modern meaning

  • of troll. A troll is someone online who deliberately says offensive things or deliberately tries

  • to cause arguements. So it can be a noun, a troll, or you can have the verb 'to troll'

  • as well so 'he's trolling me' for example. This means he is deliberately causing me offence,

  • deliberately saying offensive things and causing arguments. It can also be, the noun can be

  • 'trolling' so 'there's a lot of trolling on social media'. Alright so a troll is a noun,

  • a person. Trolling is the larger noun and to troll is the verb. 'There are so many trolls

  • on the internet'. I hope you are not a troll, good.

  • My next one is 'fake news'. It's a noun and it's describing news that is false, it's sensationalist

  • so it's very dramatic. It tries to get you get your attention and it's pretending to

  • be real. Usually we find it online, on Facebook or Twitter, something like that. And people

  • read it and think it's a genuine true story but in fact someone has manufactured it. They

  • have invented it, they've made it up. Maybe to get people to come to their site or maybe

  • to cause a problem or issue, to cause a controversy. So who knows why people do it. Fake news,

  • it's become a very big thing in the last sort of couple of years. You hear about fake news

  • stories. My example sentence 'There's been a lot of fake news recently'

  • A start-up. A start-up is a noun. So start-ups are simply a young business, a business that

  • has just begun and so you call it a start-up. My example sentence 'There are a lot of tech

  • start-ups in London'. Tech means like technology. So 'There are a lot of tech start-ups in London'.

  • Here's another phrase from the internet, again it's a noun 'click bait'. So it's an article

  • something online that is designed to make you click on it. So maybe it's a very crazy

  • story. So for example if it's related to football for example it might say something like 'Lionel

  • Messi joins Real Madrid'. And people see that and think 'Wow that's a crazy story, I have

  • to click on it'. So they click and then when it goes to the actual story it's not about

  • Lionel Messi going to Real Madrid, it's another story or it's nothing to do with that. So

  • they have got you to click on their page maybe for advertising or something like that, that's

  • probably the motivation. So we think of it as being a negative thing, click bait. An

  • example sentence 'There's so much click bait now on the internet'.

  • Next one, 'lit'. Lit is an adjective and it means really cool, really good, great. The

  • first time I saw it was by a YouTuber called Jake Paul, an American YouTuber and he uses

  • it all the time. For example he says 'Today was lit'. I think it's a very American term

  • that's kind of come over to Britain and it's being used quite a lot. You'll see it a lot

  • on social media. Even when you are on Instagram, they've got a little icon saying 'lit' and

  • yeah it means super cool or super great.

  • Next one, 'a digital nomad'. A digital nomad is somebody who can work anywhere in the world

  • using their laptop or using their computer. So a nomad traditionally is someone who moves

  • around from different places and so a digital nomad is someone that uses technology to help

  • them to live and work in different places around the world. So a digital nomad. So 'one

  • day I'd like to be a digital nomad'.

  • This is a great phrase, I love this one. This is 'a thing'. Now a thing, we know the word

  • thing, right? We've used it before, but this phrase is really new so let me give you an

  • example sentence 'Did you know that hot yoga was a thing?' Now what we are saying here

  • is that I didn't know that hot yoga, so doing yoga in a hot room, was a common practice

  • or a common thing to do or a common phenomenon. So if we say I didn't know something was a

  • thing we're saying I didn't know that it's a phenomenon, that people like doing it. Another

  • example 'Growing a beard is a real thing these days' So i'm saying there that growing a beard

  • has become a phenomenon, a very popular practice these days. Obviously that's probably not

  • true but anyway it's an example of using a thing. So something is 'a thing' it's a popular

  • phenomenon a popular thing to do, a common practice.

  • Friend zone. This could be a noun or it can be a verb. To friend zone someone. And this

  • is to basically put them into the friends category. So they have romantic feelings for

  • you but you don't have romantic feelings for them so you put them in the friend zone. So

  • for example 'She totally friend zoned me!' And that means she decided she didn't want

  • anything romantic, I did but she basically said no we are going to be friends. So to

  • friend zone somebody.

  • Soloprenuer. A solopreneur, well solo means single or on your own and preneur comes from

  • entrepreneur. Now an entrepreneur is someone that starts a business. Yeah so you could

  • start a start-up. So a solopreneur is someone that starts a business by themselves. They

  • run the business by them self. They don'd have any employees or colleagues, they run

  • it on their own, a solopreneur. So 'It's really hard being a solopreneur'. Did you know any

  • of those phrases or words? Let me know in the comments below. Have you used any of them.

  • down and I'll check it for you. i'll correct it if I need to. And yeah, are there any other

  • new words that you think should be in a course book or text book that aren't yet. Let me
