I'm going to say it was my fault.
Make sure you own your mistakes.
It's really good because it shows that you are going to try to learn from your mistakes.
So we either say I'm going to own my mistake or I'm just going to own it.
I made a mistake.
To pigeonhole someone.
Don't pigeonhole us.
This is a really surprising idiom for English learners.
It means to limit someone by putting them into one category.
So it's definitely seen as a negative thing to pigeonhole someone.
In everyday life, you might say, I don't want to be pigeonholed in this field of work.
For instance, maybe you're a teacher, but you have aspirations of becoming an entrepreneur someday.
A lot of times we use this with actors.
I think of Steve Carell, the guy from The Office.
You know, he started out in his career as being super funny and always in comedy roles, but then he started taking on some serious roles so he didn't pigeonhole himself.
One actor that I think is pigeonholed is Daniel Radcliffe, the guy who plays Harry Potter.
I can just never think of him as not Harry Potter, so he's very pigeonholed for me.
So it's kind of an unfair limitation when you pigeonhole someone.
Okay, this next phrase, it's very harsh.
If you say that you bomb, it means you fail very badly.
