Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Noun Phrase 77. The noun phrase today is a
short fuse. Okay. Let's take a look at the note. If someone has a short fuse, it is
equal to the noun phrase , a quick temper. So if somebody has a short fuse. It's a
quick temper. It means you know they get angry easily. So let's continue. So if
someone has a short fuse or a quick temper, he or she gets angry or upset
very easily. So maybe sometimes we might say you know, at the snap of a finger
or something like that. If they could get angry. Let's continue. The noun phrase
alludes to the idea of lighting a fuse that will blow up, dynamite or bomb. Of
course, if the fuse is too short it happens quickly. You've probably seen
this at a lot of movies, where you know, they got this long fuse and they light
it and you see the fuse going ( fuse burning sounds ) all the way until of course it hits the dynamite
it blows up. But a short fuse would be you know, not long at all probably only
about that size. So it's going to blow up quickly. So that's the idea . If a person
blows up they get angry maybe they start yelling very quickly. Okay. Let's , let's
give several examples here example. Number one. Be careful how you talk to
Jerry. if it is something he doesn't like he explodes easily. He has a real short
fuse. Okay. that's one way we use it. Number two,
I don't know how she stays married to that man
he has such a short temper. You could say that or he has such a short fuse you
could use both here in this sense. Okay. Again meaning that he gets angry very
easily or number three here. We need someone who can keep his or her cool. You
know. again meaning not get angry upset easily, when the going gets tough. MR.
Jones has a short fuse he won't be suitable for
leading this project. So yeah again. So a short fuse meaning that you get angry
very easily. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it, I hope it's clear. Thank you for your
time. Bye-bye.
