Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 147. The verb phrase today is to

命令形

fart around. Okay. It is actually the word fart like somebody farts you know,  fart. (farting sound)

to 不定詞

So we do use it as a verb phrase to fart around sometimes. All right. So let's look

at the note here. If someone is farting around,  he or she takes part in aimless

recreation or wasting time by fooling around,  especially the wasting time by

fooling around. That's the way we often use it.  It's definitely a very informal

use. Let's continue here. Fart around though commonly used,  is considered slang.

Yeah.  American slang. This is mostly in American English and could possibly be

considered to be rude or offensive depending on the situation one uses it

in. Yeah.  I'm not too sure I'd use it in the office. Or I think it's mostly used

among like some guys doing something.  I don't know if I'd say it to a girl. Stop farting

around it might sound weird. It is often used in a similar way that one is ... that

someone is fooling around. So it really has almost nearly the same meaning and

use as fooling around but sometimes people say farting around.  I think

actually has more humor to it though too.  So if it is used it's sometimes used in

a funny way.  I don't know maybe when you fart you know you waste you waste energy.

Waste gas.  I don't know but they do use it usually kind of you know,  in a funny

way. So let's look at a couple of examples here. Example number one. Stop

farting around with that video game. We need to get some work done. So it's very

similar to the idea of stop fooling around with that video game. Or number

two.  Jim has been farting around all day and now we are behind schedule. So you

can just as easily say Jim has been fooling around the whole day and now we

are behind schedule too.  Okay. Good and just a last note here .

The origin of the word fart. It comes from the old

Germanic language.  Frata and eventually formed into fart today. Okay. Anyway,  I

hope you got it . I hope it was clear. I hope, I  hope it was informative. Thank you for your time. Bye-
