You know, you can say cool, cool, cool three times and it just sounds like you're being, you know, emphatic or emphasizing.

But I noticed a couple of my English students were saying that and I was like, oh my gosh, they probably think this is like what everybody says.

So, I mean, not a disastrous influence, but yeah, pretty funny.

For sure.

Yeah, I love to talk about the nitty gritty of learning languages.

It's so super interesting.

Bye.

Hey, Andrew.

I'm doing well.

I'm interested in talking about our expressions for today.

Although they're a little bit negative, they're really, really useful for financial situations.

And I think that could be a really great topic for our listeners to broaden their English vocabulary and idioms they can use when talking about financial situations.

Yes.

So when we're using this idiom, we're not talking about losing a piece of clothing in your house.

But as we mentioned, this is an idiom about financial disaster.

So when somebody loses their shirt.

This is showing that they have lost so much money, perhaps in a risky financial decision or a bet or a bad investment, that they have lost everything, including the shirt that they're wearing, right?

You could imagine I have lost all of my money.

So much money that I can't even afford to put a shirt on right like all my clothes all my possessions are gone so it's just this idea that even the shirt on your back is gone because of a bad financial decision.

No, certainly not.
