English Idioms from Cricket

2009-08-19T05:36:00.000-07:00

Cricket is a popular bat and ball game played mainly in England and countries that were formerly in the British Empire such as India, Pakistan, Australia, South Africa and Caribbean countries that form "The West Indies" team. A game of cricket can last up to 5 days so don't go and watch it if you're in a hurry. However, there are also 1 day versions of the game (though these are frowned upon by purists).

Do NOT confuse cricket with croquet (Lord! how many times have I heard that happen). Just to be sure here is a video of highlights of a cricket game.

Cricket has also left its mark on the language here are 5 common English phrases originating from the game of cricket.

1. To bowl over
meaning: To be astonished, greatly surprised and excited, left speechless.
Example: I saw U2 live in concert last month and I was bowled over by their performance.
meaning in cricket: You bowl (throw) the ball at the wicket (sticks) if you hit them the batsman must leave the field.

2. To hit for six
Meaning: To be deeply shocked or hurt (by someone/thing)
Example: When my wife left me it really hit me for six.
Meaning in cricket: To hit the ball over the boundary without it bouncing on the ground (which gets six runs (points).

3. A sticky wicket
Meaning: A difficult situation
Example: "We only have 20 pounds to last us 'til the end of the month",
"Yes, it's a sticky wicket".
Meaning in cricket: The wicket area (ground in fround of the stumps) has become sticky due to rain making in difficult to play on.

4. It's not cricket
Meaning: to play unfairly or against the rules of fair play (cricket has a reputation as a gentlemen's game played by honest people).
Example: "In order to get the job he lied about his experience and criticised the other candidates,"
"Yes, it's not cricket"

5. To stump (to be stumped)
Meaning: to have no idea, to be confronted by a problem you can't find the solution to.
Example: The exam was going well until they asked me a question about the Russian Revolution and I was completely stumped.
Meaning in cricket: To remove the bails in a game meaning the batsman is out (has to leave the game).

Stephen Fry's letter

2009-05-10T13:52:00.000-07:00

British actor, comedian, writer and presenter Stephen Fry. Led a troubled life as a young man. An arrogant youth, confused and trying to come to terms with his sexuality (he is gay) the angry 16 year old was out of control.

35 years later Stephen has written a heartfelt letter to his 16 year old self. Moving and beautifully written you can find it here on The Guardian's website.

The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square

2009-04-29T06:15:00.000-07:00

In London's Trafalgar square there are 3 statues a fourth statue was intended on the site but was never completed. The plinth however still remains. This is the famous "fourth plinth". Since 1999 a series of temporary works have occupied the plinth. From July to October 2009 a remarkable now work by Anthony Gormley.

For 100 days 2400 people will occupy the plinth for one hour. It's part of a living artwork. Anthony Gormley himself describes the artwork in this video

What is English Food?

2009-04-13T10:35:00.000-07:00

This is one of the most common questions I get asked in Paris (or indeed anywhere).

Or squirrel flavour crisps.

Perhaps you'd prefer an English breakfast.

But did you know that what Britain's national dish is? Fish and chips? Steak and Kidney pie? You might be surprised to learn that it is (according to a survey in 2000) Chicken Tikka Massala A dish invented in Glasgow in the 1960s using a mix of Indian spices.

At the recent G20 summit in London Chef Jamie Oliver provided a menu for the visiting dignatiries made from all British ingredients (except soda bread which is Irish) Full story here - Jamie Oliver's G20 menu

Common mistakes in English by the French

2009-03-18T05:47:00.000-07:00

I regurlarly receive emails from students that are sometimes confusing. Here are a few examples of mistakes in English often made by French learners.

1. "Next Saturday". Today is Wednesday 18th so when is next Saturday? The answer is Saturday the 28th. Saturday 21st would normally be referred to as this Saturday.

2. There are only 7 days in a week. To my knowledge, there is no such day as "Thuesday". Perhaps you mean Tuesday or Thursday? Almost every week I get a Thuesday reservation and have to write back for more information.

3. Further to point 2 the days of the week in English have capital letters. So it's Tuesday and not tuesday so do months and adjectives of countries.

4. We do not use "normally" to talk about future events. Normally has a similar meaning to usually. So do not say "normally I will be there next Wednesday". Say "I should be able to be there next Wednesday"

5. Similarly we do not use "could" to talk able future ability. Do not say "I don't think I could come tomorrow" do say "I think I will be able to come tomorrow".

6. The word assist in English is not the same as assister in French. They are false friends. Do not say "I will assist at the class". Do say "I wil attend the class". The English word "assist means to help.

7. The preposition "to" is used to talk about going to destinations. Do say "next week I will go to London" (not in London).

There are many, many more such cases but that's the end of today's lesson.

Recipe for flapjacks

2008-12-22T04:52:00.000-08:00

Thank you to everyone who came to the LetThemTalk end of year party on Saturday. I hope you enjoyed it and best wishes to everyone for the holiday season and the New Year.

I was asked at the party for a recipe for flapjacks. If you’re unfamiliar with flapjacks they are a delicious crunchy tray baked cake very popular in Britain. Here is the recipe I use which is based on one by Delia Smith.

For about 10 flapjacks

Ingredients

110 g soft brown sugar
110 g butter or margarine
1 rounded dessertspoon golden syrup (if you can’t find golden syrup use honey)
175 g oats
¾ teaspoon ground ginger

Pre-heat the oven to 150°C.

You will also need an 18 or 20 cm square baking tin at least 4 cm deep, lightly greased.

Place the sugar butter and golden syrup, together in a pan and heat to it gently; so that the butter melts stirring the mixture from time to time. Take the pan off the heat and mix in the oats and the ginger. Now pour the mixture into the tin and spread it out evenly, Bake for 40-45 minutes. Then allow them to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before cutting it into oblong bars. Leave them in the tin until quite cold before removing them. Store them in a tin.

The Cockney Bible

2008-12-11T12:12:00.000-08:00

Cockney is the dialect of London recently a bible was printed in cockney.

Peculiar to Cockney is its rhyming slang. Wikipedia defines it like this “Rhyming slang is a form of slang in which a word is replaced by a rhyming word, typically the second word of a two-word phrase (so stairs becomes "apples and pears"). The second word is then often dropped entirely ("I'm going up the apples"), meaning that the association of the original word to the rhyming phrase is not obvious to the uninitiated. “

The Cockney Bible (from the story of Joseph) by God translated by Mike Coles.

The brothers want Joseph Brown Bread. He ends up in Egypt!

One day, Joseph popped off to a place called Shechem. His brothers were there lookin' after sheep. Jacob 'ad asked Joseph to check that everything was ok. When Joseph got there, 'e had a good ol' butcher's around, but couldn't find 'is brothers. Some geezer came up to 'im and asked, "Are you alrigh' me ol' china? What are you lookin' for?"

"I've been having a good butcher's for me brothers. They're taking care of their sheep," he answered. "You ain't seen them 'ave you?"

"They've moved on to a place called Dothan, I think I heard one of 'em say," replied the geezer. So, Joseph moved on to Dothan.

When 'is brothers saw 'im coming in the distance, they planned to kill him 'cos they hated his guts. "Let's kill that bloomin' little dreamer boy," they said. "We'll kill 'im and chuck his body dahn one of the dry wells. We'll say some nasty, wild animal killed 'im, then we'll see if his stupid dreams come true innit?"

One of the brothers Reuben, didn't want to see Joseph brown bread. "Don't kill 'im fella's," he said. "Let's just chuck him dahn the well for now." Reuben said this 'cos he wanted to return Joseph home safely a little later on. The brothers tore off Joseph's lovely new weasel, and they chucked him in the dry well.

As the brothers were 'aving their Judy and Punch, they saw some Ishmaelite traders pass by on their way to Egypt. The brothers suddenly came up with a plan. They said, "Let's not kill our little dreaming brother, 'cos 'e is our own flesh and blood. Let's just sell 'im to those traders." They all agreed, and they sold 'im for twenty bits of silver. The traders took 'im to Egypt.

A little alligator, Reuben returned to the well to get Joseph to send 'im home. When 'e saw that the well was empty, 'e got himself in a righ' ol' two and eight, and he tore his these and those. He wandered what 'e was gonna do.

The brothers then killed a goat, and dipped Joseph's weasel in its blood. They then took the weasel back to Jacob and said, "Dad. We found this weasel. Does it belong to your currant?"

"Oh no... it does," he said. "A wild animal must have killed him. My little currant has been ripped apart." Jacob was so sad, he tore his these and those (that's what they did in them days when they was really sad if someone died). He then wore some sack cloth material as his these and those, 'cos 'e was in a righ' ol' two and eight. His favourite currant was brown bread. He was real, real sad. All 'is currants and bottle's tried to cheer 'im up. But, 'e wanted no-one to help 'im. Jacob was never gonna get over the death of Joseph.

While all this was goin' on, the traders had arrived in Egypt. They sold Joseph to some geezer called Potiphar, quite an important fella. He was one of the Pharaoh's officers, captain of the Pharaoh's palace guard. Joseph became 'is slave.
