So we would actually use this phrase for robots and things that run off electricity, but sometimes we jokingly use it about our brain just to say that we're not thinking very clearly or we're, you know, not super awake and alert.

For this phrase, thinking about electrical system failing, it's kind of like our brain and it's definitely just used humorously, not in a serious or medical way.

a really casual way to tell someone to contact you or let you know or you know feel free to call you anytime is oh just give me a holler give me a holler anytime

So typically we're talking about calling or texting here.

Give me a holler if you need anything.

This just means call me or text me.

Let me know if you need anything.

It's used very casually, very slang wise.

And definitely I would say this phrase is probably more popular in the United States in the South and in the Midwest.

So not on the East Coast or the West Coast.

Another really popular slang phrase that younger people tend to use right now, but I would say it's acceptable to use it, you know, in your middle ages as well, is to say you are down bad.

So we often also use this phrase a little bit jokingly, but we mean that we are kind of desperate or we're really just like emotionally struggling.

Maybe your favorite team lost the big game.

You might say, I was so down bad after that game.

So you could just mean like you're depressed, you're sad, you know, you're kind of desperate.

You wish your team would have won.

Or maybe you ate way too much food at dinner and now you have a stomach ache.

We can also use this phrase.

I said, oh, I was so down bad after I ate way too much for dinner.

It just means you didn't feel good.
