AE 483 – Expression: Bite the Bullet
So, you ran home and you told your mum you saw some big dog-like…
I saw a dog. I said I… We saw a dog, a big dog, in the bushes eating something.
Yeah.
And she said, “Well, it can’t… you couldn’t have, because there’s no dogs here. And I said, but we did. We saw this big dog and it had stripes on it and it was eating something. And we ran home and she said, “Well, you couldn’t really, because there’s no dogs here.” And so, she said to my father, you know, “The kids think they’ve seen a dog and they’re saying it had stripes on it.”. You know? And he reckoned, it… “Well, all I can think of is they must’ve seen a tiger.”.

G’day, you mob! Welcome to this episode of the Aussie English Podcast, the number one podcast for anyone and everyone wanting to learn Australian English or just English in general.
It’s great to have you here today, guys. I hope you’re having a ripper of a weekend.
So, that intro scene. That was a video from a YouTube channel called ThylacineResearch. The link in the transcript if you’d like to check out the entire video. But it was a snippet, it was a little clip from that video, and we’ll be talking about thylacines, an extinct Australian predator, but which often gets sightings reported by people even today, although, these sightings always inevitably end up unsubstantiated, in that they can’t prove they actually saw the animal. Anyway, guys.
This is the Aussie English Podcast. It’s brought to you by the Aussie English Classroom. This is where you will get all the bonus content for the expression episodes. Every single expression episode, like this one at the moment, comes with three videos as well that go through pronunciation, vocab, and different expressions, that I use. So, that’s there to really give you a boost if you’re trying to advance your English quickly, and it also has a listen and read section where you can go through the entire transcript whilst you listen, you can read, and you can learn all the more complicated vocab in these episodes like the word ‘unsubstantiated’ for example. Anyway.
