third degree. " Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If someone gives another

person the third degree, they give someone a long and detailed

period of questions, often in an intimidating way. You know, in a way that it kind

of is making feel uncomfortable or causing you fear. Something like that.

That's the way we usually say the third degree. All right. Let's continue. The original

third degree comes from the police. When we see police give an intense and

thorough line of questioning to a possible suspect in order to get

information or a possible confession. You know, you see this in a lot of these

police shows or movies. Sometimes you see two policemen. Sometimes they play good

cop, bad cop. You know one tries to be nice and the other one tries to be the

mean guy. And you're going to go away forever. You know , Whatever but anyway , if

they give them a lot of hard and difficult questions. You know, very

intense ones. This is we say the third degree. So that's where it originally

comes from. But sometimes we use it in other situations usually in a humorous

way, comparing it back to the way the police do it. So let's look at number two.

Anytime I bring home a new boyfriend for the first time, my father always gives

him the third degree. You know , so what's your name ? Where do you come from ? What

are you studying ? What are your parents do ? How much money do they make ? What are

you what do you plan on doing in the future > What do you want to become ?Where

are you going go to school ? And you know, blah, blah, blah. But anyway usually a lot

of tough questions. You know, you know , be shooting one after another and then you

know if I say well it's giving him the third degree. Okay. Good.

Let's look at number three. If I break my curfew. Yeah well you know if there's

still some teenagers that have a curfew. You know,

curfew if that's that's the hour that you're supposed to be home by. Like if

your parents told you to be home by 11:00 p.m. or 10 p.m. or or midnight or

something like that. That's your curfew. So if I break my curfew and come home

late. My mother always gives me the third

degree. So this is probably said by like you know, a high school student or a

teenager especially a young teenager. Okay good. I hope you got it. I hope it's

clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
