English Idioms That Include the Color Red 🔴

**Red tape** is an expression that means “a series of actions or complicated tasks that seem unnecessary but that a government/organization requires you to do to get or do something.”

K-pop, K-pop English, study English, slay the concert, bias, bias wrecker, K-pop related English expressions, fangirl, fanboy

“Do You Know What ‘Slay the Concert’ Means?”

Words like **rip, crush, tear up,** and **awesome** can be used to describe a concert. However, these expressions don’t include the nuance that K-pop fans really want to express.
Native speakers use the word **slay** in this kind of situation.
If you know or look up the meaning of slay in the dictionary, you might be surprised, but **slay** also means **to give a strong impression to someone**!

**Adele literally slayed the concert. I can't believe I was there last night!** ✨

💗 What? Slay the Concert? What Does That Mean?

Generally, K-pop fans describe their favorite member as their **bias**. Of course, you can just say my favorite member instead, but it just doesn’t quite ring the bell.
If you actually look up the word **bias** in the dictionary, you’ll learn that it means **distortion** or **prejudice**. So why is it the word for describing your favorite?
Well, when you have a distortion or prejudice, you lean toward it, right?
That's how **bias** came to mean favorite.

**I love all the members of IVE, but Yujin is my bias!** 💓

🤔 My Favorite member? ❌ My Bias ⭕️

You can use **bias wrecker** to describe your second favorite.
This expression is actually a combination of **bias**, meaning your favorite, and **wrecker** which means **a person or thing that wrecks, damages, or destroys something. So it means someone who threatens the position of your bias and tries to become your new bias.
So if they’re not your bias yet, but you think that the person has the possibility or potential to become your bias, you could say that that person is your **bias wrecker\*\*.

**Do you have any bias wreckers? My bias wrecker is RM.**

🧟 How About Your Second Favorite Member?

Even if you’re not good at English, having to say just ‘awesome’ might not feel enough after witnessing and getting overwhelmed by your bias tearing up the stage.
If you agree, then this article is dedicated to you.🤩
So the next time you're fangirling/fanboying and see these expressions in the comments, don't panic!

If Your Just Bias Tore up the Stage, Saying “He Was Awesome!” Is Not Enough 😤

Today’s Weather Forecast From RedKiwi⛈

Let's start with an expression used to ask about the weather. "What's the weather like today?”
Let’s say it's extremely cold, about minus 10 degrees.
Don't just use "cold"👀 Instead, use 'freezing cold', meaning that you feel like you might freeze to death, or use 'below freezing' to express that the weather is below zero.
If it isn’t that cold, you can use 'chilly'. Here’s an example of how to use it!✨

**It's quite chilly outside, Bring a coat!🧥**

🥶

When talking about information you heard in the weather forecast, you can say, "I heard from the forecast that..." or "The forecast says...".
It's used a lot in everyday life, so try to remember it!🙌
You can also say, "(weather) is forecast for this Monday". Take a look at the example.

**Rain/Snow is forecast for this week.😹**

☔️

Weather forecasters use the expression 'be likely to' very often, to indicate a possibility.
The weather is very subject to change, so they can’t be 100% sure.😃
How about we take a look at the expressions they use on TV?😎

**Some areas are likely to have snow today. We're likely to have thunder tonight. The sea is likely to be stormy today.**

💡The Expression Weather Forecasters Use the Most: ‘Likely To’

There are actually more expressions related to weather than you can imagine.

How To Win an Argument in English🗣

When we face a problem, it's natural for us to want to know who or what caused it.
In these situations, you might ask 'Whose fault is it?' or 'Who is at fault?'.
If it's our fault, we should coolly admit it.
‘My bad.’ is a natural and casual expression you can use to admit that ‘It's my mistake.’
You might also want to know what to say when we feel like we’re being unjustly blamed for something.
This is probably the expression you'll use the most.

**What have I done wrong?🤯**

☝️If You Blame Someone for Something, You Might End up in an Argument

Think of a scene of a couple in a TV show that is in an argument.
Which words do you think you’ll hear the most?
The answer is ‘business’ and ‘enough’. Does this ring a bell?👏 🛎
Here, the word ‘business’ is usually used to mean ‘work’, or ‘job’.
It's used in expressions like "Mind your own business" or "Go about your business". It means to ‘get off my nerves and go and do your own job’.
Then what do you say when you're tired of your opponent's behavior, or tired of arguing?
Use the word ‘enough’ to make this expression.

**I've had enough**🙀

✌️ The 2 Most Frequently Used Words in an Argument

It’s always important to cut off meaningless arguments before they turn into big ones.
Trying to bring up a different topic is a possible solution.
To do this, you might say "Let's stop arguing about this". Or you could say, 'Let's just forget about it.’ and ask to forget about the topic altogether.
If the argument still doesn't come to a conclusion, you might need to appeal to your opponent to end it. In this case, you can use this expression.

**Can we just move on?😅**

🤟 Expressions Used to End an Argument (But Might End up Making It a Bigger One🤣)

You’ll Use This Expression at a Restaurant More Than 10 Times! ‘Can I Get It To Go?’

So, you might ask, are coriander and cilantro the same thing?
In the US, ‘cilantro’ is the name for the plant's leaves and stem that usually goes in food, while ‘coriander’ is the name for its dried seeds.
So if you don’t like or can’t eat cilantro, make sure to say **"Could you make it (=the food you’re ordering) without cilantro, please?"** when you order!
Simply you can also say, "No cilantro, please."🌱🙅‍♀️

🤣Excuse Me, Could You Leave Out the Cilantro?...

I remember learning or seeing the word 'left-over' regarding food.
You might wonder, should I ask 'Can I take the left-over?'🤔
The waiter/waitress might understand you, but let’s learn a more commonly used expression instead.
Say **"Can I get this (=food) to go"** while pointing at the food you want to take away, and you’ll sound perfect!👍

🥡Can I Take Out My Left-over Food?

When traveling, you usually want to try as many new things as possible.
So it’s common to order different menus and share them.
You might be used to getting an extra plate where you live, but sometimes you’ll need to ask for one.
If you need a flat dish, you should ask for a 'plate'. If you need a dish to share food like soup, you should ask for a 'bowl'.
Remember to say this, **"Can I get an extra plate (bowl)?"**🙋🏻‍♀️

🍽Can I Get an Extra Plate?

Two things that come to mind are asking for food without some ingredients🌱 and asking to take out leftover food!👀
Take a look at these expressions and you’ll be able to use them more than 10 times at restaurants.
Let’s learn English used in 'real life’ together!

Do You Know How To Get a Haircut in English?💇‍♀️

After you sit down at the hair salon, the hair designer will usually ask you this. 'How would you like your hair cut?'
If you just want to slightly fix your hair a little bit, you can use the word 'trim' to say **'I want to trim my hair a little.'**.
The word 'trim' means to cut out unnecessary parts.
Do you think you have too much hair? Then you can use the word 'thin out' to say **'Please thin out my hair'**✂️

💇‍♀️Make various requests!

Does the expression 'I want to change my hair color' sound right to you?
There’s actually a better expression to use! Use the word **'dye'**and say 'I'd like to dye my hair.' instead!
When you get your hair dyed then you usually need to dye the root of your hair again because your old hair color shows as your hair grows.
If you simply use the words **'root touch-up'**, you can sound like a native👍

👩‍🦰What’s a root touch-up?

Doesn't everyone have their own hair parting ratio? I have one too. You can use the word 'part' to express hair parting.
If you want to part your hair on the right side, you can say 'Put the part on the right, please.'
Sometimes your hair might be dry or damaged so you might need some special care!
In that case, you can say 'I need hair treatment.' and ask for some special care!✨

Surprisingly, we visit hair salons while traveling abroad more often than we imagine. Especially during long trips.

You Might Need To Write Emails in English More Often Than You Imagine📝

When I was younger, I remember writing self-introductions in the title of my emails.
The title should be written simply and clearly so that the reader can predict the content of the email.
Also, it's better to write it in a word format, not in a sentence format.
Let's take a look at some templates.  
-Request for Quotation  
-Inquiry about your service  
-Invitation for March 10th conference  
-Urgent request concerning OO

If you got stuck writing the title🤯

Usually, we use 'Dear'. This applies to business emails as well.
However, if the recipient is not a person, but a specific department, you should write 'Dear Customer Service' instead of 'Dear Mr.' or 'Dear Mrs.’!
But what if the recipient isn’t specified?🤔
In that case, use **'To whom it may concern'** and it will be the perfect opening for your email!

👤 What should I call the recipient..?

The sentence 'Please reply as soon as possible.' might sound too oppressive.
Even though the word 'please' was used, it isn’t the best choice for a business email.
If you would like to request a quick reply, try using the following sentence instead!

**I would appreciate it if you reply to me as soon as possible.**  
**I would be grateful if you could send me an email.**

💌What the sender wants: A quick reply

Personally, I find that people who write emails well usually work well too.
Did you know it’s actually not that difficult?👀 With a few tips, you can write emails in English too!
Let’s take a look at some English expressions that you can use at your workspace!

If you can’t hold a meeting in English communicate through email!👏

I Might Not Get Better at Investing but I Want to Get Better at English😭 Stock Related English Expressions

A ‘bull market’ is a sustained period, usually months or years, when stock prices rise.
On the other hand, a ‘bear market’ is a sustained period, usually months or years, when stock prices fall.
These terms are thought by some to derive from the way in which the bull attacks its opponent.
That is, a bull will thrust its horns up into the air, while a bear will swipe down.

**"The current bear market won't last for a long time📉"**
