- Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO RIP OFF and A RIP-OFF
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to rip off. Now, if you're wearing a bandage and you're done wearing it, you can rip off the bandage. But that's not the meaning I was meaning to teach you today. When you say that you rip off someone, it means that you steal something from them or you give them a really, really bad deal. If you were buying a bouquet of flowers from me, and I said, "There are 12 flowers in this bouquet," and then later when you got home, you realized there were only eight, you could say, "That person ripped me off. I got ripped off by that person. They said I was going to get a certain number of flowers and I got way less."

By the way, Jen and I never rip people off. It's a bad thing to do in business. It's not a nice thing to do at all. We do not ever rip people off. If you buy a bouquet from us and we say there's 12 flowers in it, there's probably actually 13 or 14 flowers in it. We like to give a little bit extra.
The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is a noun, and it's a rip-off. I think I taught this one a couple of years ago. A rip-off is the way you describe when someone has ripped you off. So I'm going from verb form to noun form. You could say, "I bought this bouquet of flowers from Bob and there's only six flowers in it. He said there was going to be 12. This was a rip-off." So I got ripped off, verb form, or it was a rip-off, noun form. There's just a little bit of a difference there when you describe the situation.
Anyways, to review, when you rip someone off, it means you steal from them or you lie in some sort of transaction and then they don't get what you said they were going to get. You could also use it for stealing. Like if someone took my trailer, I could say someone ripped off my trailer. That's outright stealing. And the noun form, you can call something a rip-off. My videos, I think, are a pretty good deal. I don't think they're a rip-off. They're free, and I think you always get what you're expecting, or usually.
But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Sid. "Are there any venomous snakes in those bushes, Teacher Bob? Have you ever seen any? I don't know, outta the blue, this question came in my mind, so I asked. Loved today's episode. Thanks." And my response was, "There are no venomous snakes in my part of Canada."
So when we walk around on the farm and when you see bushes like this, have no fear. Areas on the farm that we don't mow, where it's just all weeds, there is nothing living in here that is dangerous. One of the coolest parts about the part of the world I live in is that there really isn't anything dangerous here. Skunks are a little bit annoying. If skunks spray you, it really, really stinks. Sometimes there's animals that have a disease called rabies. So you might have a rabid dog or a rabid fox or something like that. And if they bite you, you have to get, I think you have to get some kind of medicine for that, some kind of needle. But generally, we're fairly safe here.
I am gonna give you a little tour, as well, of the dahlias. So they have started to bloom. So Jen has been out here actively harvesting. Let's take a walk this way as well and I'll show you the color that I've really been enjoying lately is this color. We would call this kind of a salmon color. I've really enjoyed that one.
Oh, I see a bug on there, which reminds me of that lesson that I did on pests just a little while ago. But anyways, things are growing really well. We have been getting a ton of rain and that's certainly helpful. This dahlia bed I'm not sure if I showed it to you in a previous video, but it's growing well and everything is just starting to bloom which is pretty normal for this time of year in August. They'll bloom for a few months. We'll harvest and sell as many as we can.
Anyways, thanks for watching this little English lesson. I'll see you in a couple days with another one. Bye.

thank you teacher 1
You are welcome! 😎📕🚚
Teacher Bob never rip off. You could confirm it with his lessons here. All of his lessons are worthy or even extra.👍🏻☺️🤗
You get a lot of bang for your buck! 😎📕🚚
No venomous snakes around where you live ? That's great. My mom used to tell me not to get too close a river bank or brushes in spring coz venomous snakes have babies and they are so nervous and aggressive when I was a kid. Seems like it's gonna be a busy flower week🌻💐😉
It certainly is going to be a busy week! 😎📕🚚
Dear Bob do you have a beautiful advertising slogan and advertising signboard during the sale? 🌻💰💯
We have a nice sign at the road that says flowers and it has a big black arrow on it. 😎📕🚚
@@bobsshortenglishlessons, "Тhe best flowers from the best English teacher in the world"
❤️💐🌷🌻🌹
hey Bob good evening 🙋🏽♂️ yep i writing this at night 😁, sometimes it takes me a few times watch the video to understand the phrases like in this case, when it's a verb form and a noun form, but i got it 👍🏼, by the way it's the same to say "you ripped off my heart" and "you stole my heart"? when you telling someone in romantically way thanks in advance
We would use the phrase, "You stole my heart" 😎📕🚚
@@bobsshortenglishlessons thanks Bob you're great and nice person, Hugs to you have a beatiful day 🇲🇽 ❤️ 🇨🇦 😀👍🏼
Wonderful video ,full of interesting information, lots of flowers and no rip off at all!
In New Zealand also there are no snakes, I think the most beautiful countries like Canada and New Zealand are blessed!!Enjoy the beauty of nature fearlessly !
By the way for Rabies,you have to take 5 doses of anti rabies vaccine!In past it was 21day course of old vaccine🙄. Now things are better 😄😄
It certainly is nice that there are no venomous snakes here! I didn't know that about the rabies vaccine. I remember a friend of mine and his dad had to get it when I was a kid and it was a lot of shots like you said. Cool that it's only five shots now😎📕🚚
Thanks a lot Teacher Bob!!!Familiar with these phrases!!!
That's great. I'm glad you could review them! 😎📕🚚
I thought buying that fish was a great deal. But it was a rip-off. He ripped me off by using tampered weighing scales.
You always have to be careful when people are using scales! 😎📕🚚
Great harvest. Best of luck with sales! We also have a lot of rain here, but this is not a good thing for tomatoes at all. Luckily, I grew half of them in a greenhouse. Diversification strategy 😎 or never put all your eggs in one basket.
Diversification is a great strategy when farming. We do something similar in that we grow similar flowers in completely different areas of the farm. That way if one patch gets a pest or something goes wrong it hopefully doesn't affect the other one. 😎📕🚚
0:49 I remember your policy: " honesty is the best policy".💫💬
That is correct! 😎📕🚚
Please don't describe yourself as a rip-off because you are a honest person. Have a great day!
Honesty is the best policy! 😎📕🚚
Good morning Dear Bob the Canadian.
Thank you very much for phrases and for your beautiful flowers, nature🇨🇦🏡🌷
You are very welcome Tan! 😎📕🚚
The flowers' colour is awesome. It looks cloudy right there do u do something to protect ur flowers, their stems are not strong enough
The dahlias have posts in the ground and we put rope around them so that if we have a wind storm they don't blow over. 😎📕🚚
One question comes to my mind. I know that in our part of the world it is not common to gift an even quantity of flowers. So it should be an odd quantity in bouquets. How about Canada? I know in the UK it doesn't matter! Btw, your beard and mustache are very cool. Haha, my parents and relatives always insist on shaving mine. But I am continuing to struggle with them🤦🤣😂
Thanks for the kind words about my beard and moustache. I think it's my preferred look right now. The most common amount of a single flower to buy is usually a dozen here, like a dozen roses. Although when we make mixed bouquets with all different flowers in them we usually make them with an odd number because it just looks better! 😎📕🚚
@@bobsshortenglishlessons got it. Thanks for the reply 😃
Thank you so much teacher Bob!
You're welcome in! 😎📕🚚
Best teacher Bob, thanks a lot for your job, you helped me so much!!!! Please don't stop teaching, best wishes from Ukraine
Hi Mr Bob, my gratitude knows no bound to what you do for us.. I have a question please, what's the meaning of "off the tip"? Have a good day!
Hi bob, i love farms and the country side, i love butterflies, bees, ladybugs etc... i love looking at your flowers too. We have dhalias in my country as well, they grow wild in some places. i got a question for you, do you spray venom on your flowers, i mean insecticides, fungicides and herbicides in the surroundings...? I am worried about the massive use of this chemicals around the world, they are highly harmful for humans, insects, animal and earth. Thanks for you lesson, pretty useful and catchy, sometimes i bingewatch them.
Wow, I didn’t know that is has a meaning of be stolen😮 Thank you Sir!
Rip- off is the opposite to good deal, right ? Thank you Bob, the Canadian teacher!
You teach us not just English you teach us how to live how to be generous and be honest and many things god belles you and your family

Hello! 😎📕🚚
To steal (stealing) is a criminal act but to rip off is mostly an immoral act...
Informative... useful... helpful...
I learn many things from you guys thanks
Nice one Bob! I always learn something new whenever I stop by your channel ! Thanks for quality content !
I'm glad you learn something new every time Nina! 😎📕🚚
To take advantage of in many cases is a rip off...
Taxes are rip off in many instances...
Thx for the lesson!
Also I heard, that a rip-off is kinda a bad deal. Here is an example "A bottle of water costs 50$ in the store. That's a rip-off!" Am I right, Mr Bob? 🤯💰💸
That is correct Dmitry! 😎📕🚚
👍👍👍
thank you Bob
Hi you guys are too good
I concur with u, your videos aren't a rip off at all. Thanks for your help one more day
No problem! 😎📕🚚
Hi dear teacher Bob! How are you doing? Thank you so much for your unique lessons. I think honesty is a very important virtue, but unfortunately those who ripped people off don't realize that they have lost this important quality. Have a great day. Bye...👋😊🌹💐
I agree. I think honesty is the best policy. 😎📕🚚
Hi Bob! It's a beautiful day over there. I feel refreshed when I see those beautiful flowers and the green filed. Have a wonderful day.
It was a nice day. We've been having quite a few nice days lately. The weather has cooled off a little bit and I'm really enjoying it! 😎📕🚚
So natural, informative and simple. Thanks)
You're welcome! 😎📕🚚
Hi Dear teacher Bob,
Your lessons are not rip -off, we get useful words, phrases, the live language.
I've started a book written by John Grisham few days ago.
I found two familiar idioms on the page 2 that you've taught us.
One of them was to give and earful, the other to call it a day.
thanks your help, your work
Cool that you found these phrases in the book that you're reading! 😎📕🚚
Finally saw your lesson after some skip and that's alright. They say, better late than never, and your English learning lessons are really cool.
That's true. Sometimes it's good to take a break! 😎📕🚚
Love your lessons, Bob!))
That's great. Thanks for watching! 😎📕🚚
Sorry i'm still confused with the second meaning could you please explain it in the next video?😂
It's simply a way to refer to a time when someone ripped you off. You could say I paid $5,000 for this car and it won't even start. It was a rip-off! 😎📕🚚
@@bobsshortenglishlessons so ripped someone off also is like promises that never kept?🤔
@@ariohandoyo5973 Yes, but a promise made when buying something.
@@bobsshortenglishlessons Okay
Thank you Teacher Bob, I feel so lucky this was the second time you picked my comment 😊❤️🕺, today's episode was pretty awesome , cloud, rain, cricket, beautiful flowers and tops it all "two extremely useful phrases, 😊 🙏🦜
