- Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO BUGGER OFF and TO DO BUGGER ALL
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to bugger off. Now, this is definitely an informal phrase. You wouldn't use this in a formal situation, but when you say someone is going to bugger off, it means that they are going to leave, and it usually means that you probably didn't want them to leave. A good example would be this. If I had a car accident, if someone hit me, I wouldn't want the other guy to bugger off. I would want that person to stay until the police come. And this does sometimes happen. Sometimes people have a car accident and the person who hit them will bugger off. They'll just drive away. And if the police do catch them, they'll get in lots of trouble. I think having a dash cam is a good way to catch people on camera after a car accident before they bugger off.

The other phrase I wanted to help you learn today is the phrase to do bugger all. So if someone does bugger all, it means they haven't really done anything. And again, this is a very informal phrase, but if I came home from work, let's say I'm working on a project with another teacher and we are supposed to be doing it together and I do all the work, I might come home to Jen and say, oh, today, Joe didn't do bugger all on the project. He just sat around and talked while I did all the work. So when you do bugger all, it simply means that you aren't doing anything when you're supposed to be doing some work.
So to review, to bugger off means to leave. And the accident example is probably the best one. If I was to get in an accident, I wouldn't bugger off, and I wouldn't want the other person to bugger off either. And to do bugger all simply is a very crude way, a very informal way to say someone is doing nothing. Jen would get really mad at me in the summer if she was working hard and I didn't do bugger all. She would be like, get to work. We got to sell these flowers.
But, hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Gabriella. I hope I'm remembering that right. Hello, Bob. This way of teaching by telling your life story is simply fantastic. Thank you. And then a big wave. And my response. You're welcome, Gabriella. So thank you for that comment.
Yeah, I do enjoy talking about myself and I'm glad that you all enjoy listening to me. So, first of all, I wanted to mention something about, again, my life. Can you hear the wind chimes? I don't see them, but there's definitely wind chimes here.
Anyways, the other day, I was bringing my son to a friend's house. That friend lives way down this road. You can see my van there. But that was the other day, and I noticed on this side of the road that there was all kinds of new houses that I had never seen before. So I feel like this subdivision just showed up. I swear. First of all, I don't think I've been down this road for two or three years, and I think that the last time I drove down this road, I don't think these houses existed. I think they were all built probably during the pandemic or maybe a year after it, but they looked really new, and I wanted to show you.
This is what we call a duplex. So one house is on this side, and one house is on the other side. So this garage door belongs to one person. This garage door belongs to another person. And they aren't attached between. So it's one building right here, but there are two houses in this building. So there's a wall down the middle separating the two houses. And you would either live on one side or the other side of the duplex. We sometimes, I think, also call it a semi, but in my mind, this would be called a duplex.
So typical small Canadian homes. These are probably single family dwellings for people that have one or two kids. I'm not sure these houses would be big enough if you had a family of five. If you had five kids. Or they might simply be for people who are empty nesters. An empty nester is someone whose kids have all moved out, so they would probably be the right size for that.
Anyways, thanks for watching. I'll give you a look at the Canadian post office boxes here. This is where you would get your mail, and then I'll say, bye. Thanks for watching. See you in a couple of days with another short English lesson. Bye.

I enjoy casual learning. It's fun.
Duplex looks like a townhouse but only for two families...Thanks for showing around and keep having a nice warm😎😊 weekend!
Yes. When there are more than 2 units we usual call them townhouses. I'll try and make a video in front of some next time! 😎🚸⚜️
@@bobsshortenglishlessons Looking forward to it, Bob🤝♥️👍
Hello and greeting from Vietnam, teacher Bob!Thanks a ton for this lesson!👍👍
We loves these well-made houses located in the nice town that pop up in the video! 🏘
Perhaps in the future my friends and i'll buy houses like that one you mentioned:))
A little about myself!:)
1/I once had a close childhood friend whose parents are French. We often play together and enjoy the games. But one day, His family had to return to France. I didn't want them to bugger off. At the end, we give each other favorite toys and had a farewell party.👨👩👦
2/My brother didn't do bugger all on the housework! He often hangout with friends. But i hope that he would study whenever he hangout with his friend!📚
It's look like the snow has vanished from the town.😕
Hey, I would like to see a video about flowers garden and plant that you and lady Jen are growing them!🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🥀🥀🥀
It'd be a great lesson when you teach us about how to grow a plant! Would you like to make a video about it?😄
Once again thanks so much for the video! Hope you and your beloved family have a great weekend ahead, Mr, Bob!
Hung from Southest-Asia☺🌏🍁
Best wishes!
Yep, the snow is gone. I'll see what I can do about a plant video. Also, great example sentences again! 😎🚸⚜️
Bob an awesome teacher. Thx a lot!
You're welcome! 😎🚸⚜️
thank you teacher ! a useful lesson !
Hi Bob, when you talk about your life, we feel you are one of us,just like our family !!
I'm glad you feel that way. It's fun to talk to all of you in this way! 😎🚸⚜️
Very nice lesson.thanks Mr Bob.
You're welcome! 😎🚸⚜️
You're welcome! 😎🚸⚜️
Hello Bob, thanks for mentioning me and for useful daily lesson. During the live stream I don't understand a lot, but then I read subtitles and everything becomes clearer. OK!!! Have a great day full of pleasant moments. 🙋♀️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
I'm happy to hear that. Subtitles can be handy. 😎🚸⚜️
Hello Bob I thank you for all, put always subtitles because I want understand. OK?
Hi, Bob. So to “do bugger all” means that I’m not doing anything when I should be doing. But you said a negative sentence, you said “Jen would get really mad ar me … if she was working hard and I DIDN’T do bugger all”. I thought you should say “… and I DID do bugger all”, 😁
Yep. It works both ways:
I did bugger all today. = I did nothing.
I didn't do bugger all today. - I did nothing.
English is weird! 😎🚸⚜️
I thank you much, 👍
Thank you for the lesson, teacher Bob! These words very common for people who can't (or don't want) working hard. So about post boxes, we call it "postamat" in Russia. I think this word doesn't exist in English. I would be happy if you explain some phrases connected with this thing.🙏📦
I think we call them superboxes. People used to get mail delivered straight to their house, but they made these to save money. 😎🚸⚜️
Thank you very much for your videos. I have learned so much with them. I can understood you and it is amazing! Have a good day. Gretting from Cuba.
You're welcome Marielys (Or is it Marie?)! 😎🚸⚜️
I am Marielys. I am a doctor. I live in Cuba.Thanks@@bobsshortenglishlessons
But Marie is ok for me. Don´t sweating!
Hi, Bob thanks for teaching English in this enjoyable manner
By the way here in Argentina has become very common the duplex and even the triplex.
Yeah, we go up to 6 or 8 houses. Duplexes are the most common. Row housing or townhouses are what we call the bigger units. 😎🚸⚜️
Thanks a ton
You're welcome! 😎🚸⚜️
Well done
Thanks! 😎🚸⚜️
Hi Bob, I am a new by from Italy. I love the way you are doing English lesson in this channel. By the way, what is the meaning of being: " the son of the glass maker"? Means that you are not honest?
I haven't heard this phrase before, sorry. Maybe it is British? 😎🚸⚜️
Really interesting the translation of wind chimes to Portuguese. Here people use to call it something like “wind messenger”.
I like that name better. It has a bit of intrigue to it. What is the message?! 😎🚸⚜️
Hi teacher Bob! 🖐️😎
Empty nester sounds very sad. When you become an empty nester one day, would you consider moving to a smaller place? 🪺🪹🥹
It is very enjoyable to listen to small sections of your life accompanied by images from your beautiful town and it is very useful to improve our English. Thank you very much for providing us with this opportunity. 💯♥️😎👍
Have a great day! Love from İstanbul! Bye... 👋😊🌹💐♥️
We'll think about moving to a smaller place, but we still would want to be in the country I think. We'll see when the time comes! 😎🚸⚜️
@@bobsshortenglishlessonsI hope you will live a very happy, healthy, auspicious, long life in the future, close to your children and grandchildren. 🪅🪻♥️🙃
Thanks 👍
You're welcome! 😎🚸⚜️
Could u show us the layout in that house If its possible
I'll see if I can find some that are under construction and do a lesson there! 😎🚸⚜️
Could we also use duck away in the same meaning with burger off? Thanks bob ❤
Hey Bob, Thanks for this lesson. May I propose you two other phrasal verbs with "put" :
PUT OFF STH : Postpone
PUT IN WITH STH : Tolerate
See you 👍🌻🌹
I'll see what I can do, although I think for your second phrase you meant "to put up with something/someone"! 😎🚸⚜️
@@bobsshortenglishlessons Bob, suis-je bête 🫏 ! tu as entièrement raison, je me suis "gourré" (trompé en argot). Je suis vraiment désolé et je te prie d'accepter mes plates excuses 😌💐
Hello Mr. Bob, I think “ to do bugger all” and “ fool around” is the same, am I right? Thank you for teaching!
Yes, very similar. 😎🚸⚜️
@@bobsshortenglishlessons Thank you, sir!
Nice phrases, I have not heard them at all. How often do you use them in everyday's speech?
They are quite common in regular informal speech. The lady in charge of the market doesn't do bugger all. Where's Joe? I don't know. I think he buggered off! 😎🚸⚜️
@@bobsshortenglishlessonsAnd it seems very logical. Thanks
Thanks a lot for the lesson, Bob! You never sit around doing bugger all all day. Is it okay to use "It's a sign on and bugger off system" talking about a corrupt system?
I have once or twice in my life spent the entire day doing bugger all. It's rare though! 😎🚸⚜️
thx
You're welcome! 😎🚸⚜️
Hi, Bob, I'm a little bit confused about the following two sentences: 1. Today Joe didn’t do bugger all on the project. 2. Today Joe did bugger all on the project. Do they mean the same thing? Looking forward to your reply.
❤❤❤
Bugger has loads of meanings in uk
You are right. Probably too many for me to explain! 😎🚸⚜️
I found the wind chimes you're talking about, it is right a little righter than your forehead on 2:24!)
Ah yes, there they are. Maybe there should be one thing in every video that people have to find! 😎🚸⚜️
Interesting, I remember when working with the Brits, they used the imperative "bugger off!" instead of saying F--k off!
Yep, you can use it that way too! 😎🚸⚜️
Duplex. Don't dwellers care about the noise? because they are sharing the wall🤔 Anyway, we do enjoy listening to your life, Bob😄👋✨ Thanks.
@@vitor00vv Ooh, a baby and a dog... Easy to imagine 🤣 when I lived at an apartment, neighbors would have a conjugal spat a lot. 🤦
They can be quite noisy. I lived in one at when I was in college. Usually they try to insulate the walls to create some soundproofing. 😎🚸⚜️
The other day,I had to bugger off and take a nap for two and a half hours, because I was too worn out fate my treatment.
I hope things continue to go well for you Tammy! 😎🚸⚜️
@@bobsshortenglishlessons Thank you so much for your kind words, Bob!
Oh my gosh i was outfoxing my colleagues but when my girlfriend came and said that i wad doing bugger off 😂
Sometimes when you are doing bugger all it's good to bugger off when the boss comes! 😎🚸⚜️
“Bugger” comes from the old French “Bougre” (which was an insult). 😅👍🇫🇷
Interesting! I have related it with the word "bug" because some bugs diisturb you and go or fly away , like the person who bugged off from the car accident.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing this tidbit of information! 😎🚸⚜️
Excuse me, I just want to double check, didn't do bugger all = do nothing, or do bugger all = do nothing?
It burns me up when someone else's vieccle crashed other people's vieccle then they bugger off they in charge of others you know, if they do so they need to bring us to the hospital or else they would be in a hot water, cautions mr. Bob don't let your guard down, keep up your guard up on the street when you drive your cars and to prevent any unwanted accident you should swerve or hitting the brake so that you could save yourself from it, stay safe wherever you are safety first would be the major thing, don't forget to abide by the rules of traffic lights so we won't get a speeding ticket LOL.😂
Note:
Look bothways also needed when we accrossing the street, just relax while taking a stroll, those are the ecential tips to note.
By the way bugger all it's british phrase right? Your neibour americans never use the phrase i guess, for example you buy an equepmehts but those equepments end up bugger all.😂
Edit:
You love sharig about your life and i love sharing with you about Pokèmon stories in the comment, please have a look on the video about back off and i'm off, in the video you also mention the words grounded and curfew, in the comment i told people about..........
Please read the comment there to figure out.😊
I'm gonna tell a story about myself as well:
My mama and i sometimes facing winding road of life where i feel that my life just go around the circle, and the other day i was grumpling about the past, i felt i felt that i'm getting nowwhere instead of getting somewhere, i'm not use to with the life without roaming around anywhere. Not like it used to be where my late Papa and two of us travel around town or even went to Bali and stayed overnight in the Hotel.
My life without him it's way different now, i can't go anywhere without making others hassel cus they need to carry and drive me on my wheel chair to get some fresh air. I won't never know which people are giving me a hand sincerly which one are not, my dream is to travel and explore the world someday. As you said, great things come to those who wait. But till when? Full of expectation is not enough, i should put effort right?
Little bit about Ash Ketchump:
Ash's dream was to became a pokèmon master and winning the pokèmon battle League and became a champion, long story short he beaten up by each Pokèmon trainers on the League on each seasons however he ended up lost over and over, he got ahead of himself, and too much expectation. Eventually, on the last season he won the pokémon battle League it was a magical moment in the Galar League, he beat up 7 Pokèmon trainers with:
Z moves Giantamax band and mega evolution device that he use to beat up Leon's Pokèmon there.
Lesson i got from watching the Pokèmon anime with his story in English dubbed was we shouldn't have too much expectation on winning on any Leagues in real world. Instead, we should use our strategies and strategies in any competions don't just saying i'm gonna win but prove it, don't be like him who told himself he would be the winner but they ended up lost. But won in the end though, he tougest than me mr. Bob, he getting back his feet and he was so reselient protagonist in the story, i don't think i be able to be as strong as him when somebody deafeat me in a League.
He never surrender on achiving his dream, he inspired me to strive myself, but observing him as a Pokèmon trainer that being defeated constantly made me feeling blue while watching.😢
What's your take on it guys? Have you ever watched the Pokèmon that involve Ash's story guys? If so, tell me. If not, why?😊
I think out of respect for you Ario I should watch all the Pokémon cartoons when I'm retired. Maybe I'll watch one a day starting at age 60 or so! 😎🚸⚜️
@@bobsshortenglishlessons hahaha okay mr. Bob, your kids might enjoy it too, some of your kids who love Pokèmon just like me, i've already told everyone little bit about him in the comment, glad you read them. Plus a little bit about myself, so you see all of us facing set backs in life.
What do you mean by out of respect? Hehe.😅
@@ariohandoyo5973 I respect you for learning English and for being around here for so long and therefore something you think is cool is something I think I should watch.
@@bobsshortenglishlessons oh i see, thanks for letting me know as an English learner, wish someday you would glowing with excitement when type, read, or speak in France mr. Bob, you give uplifting words to encourage me to learn English.
Concerning about Pokèmon, i recommend you to start with Pokemon Indigo League. From there, You would follow Ash Ketchump story.
Is up to you whether you want to watch in English dubbed or Japanese. However For Ash Ketchump story, available also in France i'm not sure though, in Japanese dubbed his name is Satoshi.😉
I was following that tire in the background as it swung back and forth the whole time. I don’t even know what this lesson was about! Time to watch it again! I guess it’s best if I close my eyes this time!😅🛞🤷🏻
Listen to my voice. Watch the tire swing. You will now feel an incredible desire to learn English every day. Muahaha! 😎🚸⚜️
These post office boxes look a little (🤏) fancier than your nostalgic post office box across the street from your farm, Bob 😘. But I guess that also has to do with the fact that, as you said, these houses were built relatively recently. Even though I know it was just an example. I don't think Jen could get that mad at you. Because she is just a very nice person, just like you, and you are not the type of person who does or would do something like that 💛. But I think you once mentioned something similar, if I'm not mistaken, that she might get mad at you if you started slowing down or daydreaming while loading your van with the flowers for the market 😅. Thanks for showing us a little bit of your town again. Have a great day, sir. 📫🚙💐
I think they are called superboxes. People used to get mail delivered straight to their house, but now there are these centralized locations around town. As for showing the town, your welcome. I like being on mornings again so I can do more videos around town. Tomorrow's lesson for my other channel I shot around town as well. I tried a slightly newer style of editing. You'll have to let me know tomorrow what you think. More b-roll as transitions. You'll see what I mean tomorrow. 😎🚸⚜️
@@bobsshortenglishlessons
I talked to my brother about this topic after watching the video and he suggested to me that it would also be easier for the post office to deliver everything in one place instead of delivering to each house individually. I hadn't thought of that at first. (That's why I adjusted the comment again.) Superboxes that doesn't sound bad, thanks for the explanation, Bob 😎.
I'm glad to hear that you have some time in the morning to do your lessons in and around the town. I think this is a great change for you and you can clear your head a bit at the same time 😘. As for your lesson for tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it and I'll definitely tell you what I think about the editing ❤️. (I'd love to do that for you.) Have a nice rest of your day, sir. 🎞🎬🏆
There were two wind chimes they were holding in the tree 🌳 🌳
