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

現在進行形

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

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

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

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

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
