  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Noun Phrase 180. The noun phrase today is a

  • no-show. Okay. A no-show can be found with or

  • without hyphen. So you see this noun phrase sometimes with a hyphen or without a hyphen.

  • Some dictionaries accept both. Some may just want it with a hyphen or vice-versa.

  • But anyway, let's continue here. If someone does a no-show he or she was

  • expected to appear or turn up and then does not actually show up. So we say

  • somebody did a no-show. The origin of this term is from airline jargon. So it

  • originally came from the airlines to refer to people who bought tickets, but

  • did not actually show up for the flight. Whatever the reason is. Whether I don't

  • know. Maybe they got into an accident or maybe they simply forgot. They overslept

  • or something happened that they couldn't appear that day. So you would be surprised, every

  • flight sometimes there's a, there's a few people that end up being a no-show. All

  • right. So like we say airlines have a no-show list. All right. Now, now meaning

  • you know, in our modern times. Now this phrase could be used for anyone who was

  • expected to appear at an event and does not. So it's not ... it's definitely not

  • limited to just Airlines, but that's where it came from originally. All right.

  • And we have you know , three examples here to cover this. So let's look at

  • example number one. I was supposed to have a blind date last night, but my date

  • you could also refer to the person as a date turned out to be a no-show. She stood

  • me up. Meaning she didn't appear. That's, that's what happens if you have a date with

  • someone and the other person doesn't show up, you say somebody stood you up.

  • Well whether it's a blind date or somebody you really know. If they don't show

  • up for the date and they made the date with you. Then they stood you up. Okay.

  • Good. Let's look at number two here. The main speaker ended up being a no-show at

  • this event. Yeah. So I don't know. If you called at the last minute and canceled or he

  • just didn't turn up for whatever reason, but he ended up being a no-show. He

  • wasn't there for some reason. All right . And the last one here. Number three. If you

  • are desperate to get on a particular flight, you can go to the airport and put

  • your name on a standby list and hope that there are some no-shows. Because

  • that's the only way you get in is if there's a no-show. Like the last five or

  • ten minutes before the flight is supposed to leave.

  • Maybe they'll allow you to get on. You know if there are no shows, especially if

  • it was a booked flight. Well the flight was completely booked but somebody...

  • but there were some no-shows at the last minute. They may allow you if you are

  • standby to go on the flight , so they can still fill up those seats. Anyway, I

  • hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
