So today, learn how to use the word hurt with three different meanings as it relates to your experience. Hey, Lindsay, how are you? I'm doing good today, Michelle. Excited to be on the mic with you as always.
What are we getting into on the show today?
Lindsay, when was the last time you were physically hurt?
Oh my gosh. Yesterday, I had some pain in my left hip. It was so random. And then it kind of went away randomly. Oh my gosh. And then went away randomly. So yeah, I don't know. Who knows?
It's so weird when that happens. And you know, I mean, if you're... Some people, their mind might go, oh my gosh, what's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? And then it catastrophes, right? Yep, yep, exactly. So, Lindsay, on a recent episode, the word hurt came up and we realized how useful it is and important for our listeners to know how to use it. So that's what we're going to talk about today, the word hurt.
Yeah, I love it. And I want to highlight a little bonus word that came up just in our little chat there, Michelle, the word catastrophize. Yeah. Kind of a strange sounding word, but a good one for our listeners to know when you make things a catastrophe, right?
Yeah. When you think like the worst thing is going to happen, you think, oh, I have...
hey my hip hurts so i'm dying you know and i think i think everybody does that to some extent we do and it's gotten so much work because we have you know we go on to what is it web and web md and then it's always like i have cancer right yes exactly i know that's really it's back in the old days you just used to wait maybe maybe make an appointment with a doctor And then I feel like things could just stay a little more calm in our minds sometimes, right? Yes, yes, exactly, exactly. So getting into the word hurt, but before we get further into it, I want to remind our listeners, guys, if you love our show, we are all about connection, not perfection. That means we believe the most important thing we're doing here is not grammar, it's not vocabulary, it's not pronunciation, it's connection.
So we show you for each episode what this means, what everything we're learning means for connection and how you can lead a happier life with more connections in English. Okay? Good.
Perfect.
All right. Hit that follow button now, guys.
Hit the follow button. All right. So let's get into it. So the first way that we're going to talk about it is the physical form, right? So I hurt my hamstring in the gym.
Yes. Yes. I hurt my hamstring in the gym. Very straightforward. Or she hurt her funny bone on the doorframe. That's the worst, right? The funny bone. Lindsay, what's the funny bone? I know. The funny bone is pretty funny because it's weird, right? It's more painful, actually. Not so funny. It's part of the elbow. Yeah. Where sometimes we knock it. If you hit it, it just reverberates, right?
Yeah. There's something about it. I wonder why actually.
It must be like a tendon that goes far throughout your arm or something. Yeah. Because you could feel it moving. Do you ever experience that moment when you know pain is coming, but it hasn't traveled to your brain yet?
Do you like experience that gap where you're like, well, that happens with, um, well with like, um, burns, right. When you like burn your hand on something. And I mean, that's even maybe like a literal, a little more of a delay than what you're talking about.
Um, but like stubbing your toe even, yeah, there is that moment where you're like, oh no, like, I mean, you know, it's, it's like, it's at least a second or a second where you're like, you can anticipate it.
