Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello guys.
Hello, hello.
How's it going?
So, hold on.
I feel like I need to adjust the...
Yeah, you're good.
I feel like I'm touching the...
Ah, the hua hua.
The microphone, yeah.
The hua hua.
It's adding all these noise.
Yeah.
Do you think it's good?
I think it looks good.
Okay.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I discovered something.
Recently.
Recently.
Did you know that the phrase 9 to 5 means 9 hours,5 days a week?
Oh, really?
Yeah, I always thought it was 9am to 5pm.
That's what I thought too.
Right?
Oh, 9 hours, 5 days?
I didn't know that.
That's what I saw on TikTok.
Really?
So, let me check.
Let me check if that's true, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that's what I heard.
That's what I saw.
Okay.
Well, yeah, me too.
I thought it's like from 9am to 5pm.
Yeah.
At the office.
Right.
Right?
Yeah.
Here's the Cambridge Dictionary.
Okay.
9 to 5 describes work that begins at 9 o'clock inthe morning and ends at 5 o'clock, which
are hours that people work in many offices fromMonday to Friday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, we were right.
So, TikTok was wrong.
Okay.
Sorry about that.
But it was so viral.
Oh, really?
It was so viral.
Yeah.
Okay.
So.
So, never mind.
Okay.
So, it's 9am from 5pm.
Yes.
That's the true meaning.
Okay.
We had it right.
We had it right.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because, well, yeah.
In Japan, we say 9 to 5.
Oh, do you say that?
Yeah, sometimes.
Okay.
So, it's 9 to 5.
That's what I thought.
It's like 9 to 5.
Right.
I thought I was going to be one of those moments.
Remember when we discovered quote-unquote, thephrase quote-unquote.
Oh, yeah.
It was like quote-unquote, but it was quote-un...
No way.
Which one was it?
That was quote-unquote.
Yeah.
We always thought it was quote-unquote.
Yeah.
But it was actually quote-unquote.
Oh, I thought quote-and-quote.
Oh, you thought it was and-quote?
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
It's too fast.
Yeah.
Right.
No one can catch it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's quote-unquote.
Yeah.
Quote-unquote.
Yeah.
Quote-unquote.
I'll say either one of the three.
Quote-unquote, quote-and-quote, and quote-on-quote.
03:02
Can you tell me which one you think I said?
Okay.
Go on.
Quote-unquote.
Quote-on-quote?
I said quote-and-quote.
That's tough.
Okay.
That's difficult.
Say a different one.
All right.
Quote-unquote.
Quote-on-quote?
I said quote-unquote.
That's tough.
That's tough.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel like everything sounds like quote-on-quote.
Oh, yeah?
It doesn't?
It doesn't?
That's crazy.
Yeah.
That's funny.
That's funny.
Yeah.
You know, you could start saying macaroni-on-cheese, and you could still say the same thing, I
feel like.
Mac-on-cheese.
Mac-on-cheese.
And it would still sound like macaroni-on-cheese.
Yeah.
Mac-on-cheese.
I saw a video of a Japanese comedy show where, youknow, you have a phrase like,
お疲れ様です.
Or like, おはようございます.
Yeah.
And the comedian, I believe that was Kasuga-sanfrom Odori, he tried to say a different thing.
Okay.
But in a very fast speed so that no one can catchit.
Ah, okay, okay.
Like, instead of saying お疲れ様です, he would say likeお相撲さん踊ります
or things like that.
In a very fast speed.
It's a 検証.
Yeah, 検証企画.
Ah, okay, okay.
It's like a ドッキリ検証-ish.
Right, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those are really funny.
Yeah.
And some of the phrases, like, no one could catchit.
No one could catch it?
Yeah.
And they were like...
And like, everything went naturally.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Yeah.
That's really funny.
Maybe in English you can do the same thing.
Like, you can...
You can, actually.
Yeah.
You can.
