Hi. This is Tutor Nick P and  this is Noun Phrase 97. The noun phrase today is

eye-opener. Okay.  Let's take a look at the note. All right. We have two meanings here

today. An eye opener is a situation or event that shows you or makes you

realize something,  especially surprises you. Maybe even shocks you. You know,

realize something you did not know before. Okay. That we often say is an

eye opener. We have a second meaning here.  An alcoholic drink. You take it in the

morning to wake up. Yeah. Even though,  I don't think most people do this.  I think

maybe some people that might be a heavy drinker might do this to wake up.  Or it

looks like maybe some scene from a movie.  Some old detective or something taking a

shot of whiskey in the morning to wake up. But that would be referred to as an

eye-opener as well. All right. So let's look. We got three examples here . Example

number one. That documentary about the medical industry was a real eye-opener.

Yeah. Maybe it was  a documentary where you learned a lot of things about the

medical industry that surprised you. You know,  it could be both a good or bad . Okay

Number two. Learning that Harvey Weinstein was seducing actresses to

get parts for over three decades and the fact that this seems to be much more

commonplace then most people realized was a real eye-opener. Yeah. And we've said

this before remember I did a previous video where we say it was an open secret.

A lot of people in Hollywood throughout the years at the Academy once used to

kind of joke about this with Harvey Weinstein. So they knew about it for a

long time. So but you know,  you didn't realize they knew about it and once you

should find out about this stuff. You figured it's a real eye-opener that a

lot of this goes on. All right. Number three. Our grandfather takes a shot of

whiskey as an eye opener each morning.  Okay. Well that's for the alcoholic drink meaning.

Okay. Anyway,  I hope you got it.  I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time.
