- Hello everyone and welcome
back to English with Lucy.

You might remember that
a couple of weeks ago

I uploaded a video about
happy related expressions.

Expressions and idioms
related to happiness.

Well, I was thinking the other
day it's great to be happy

and positive, but it's also
really, really important to know

how to express yourself when
you're angry or annoyed.

and we need to know how
to express ourselves,

Now I'm sure many of you
will know the typical,

more alternative vocabulary,
more advanced vocabulary,

and some idioms and some
expressions that you can use.

So this video is going to
help you express yourself,

it's going to help you with your speaking.

It's also going to help
you with your listening

so that you can understand
natives when they speak to you.

But if you want to take your
speaking to the next level

then I really, really
recommend you check out italki.

italki is a massive database
of online language teachers.

They've got almost every
single language in the world,

You can speak to
qualified native teachers.

Also there is the option
to have non-native

It's a buy one, get one free
on lessons so when you sign up

and spend $10 and buy 100 italki credits,

meaning you basically

It's an excellent offer so
make sure you check out that

Right, let's get started with the lesson.

Just a quick warning, a couple
of the words that I'm going

or maybe you don't want
your children knowing them.

No swear words but if you're
around children, headphones in.

is actually a phrasal verb
and this is to piss off.

when I saw that somebody
had scratched my car.

Or I think I really pissed my teacher off

when I didn't hand in my homework on time.

Just so you know, that word, to piss off,

piss on its own is
actually a vulgar word for

So around friends, very
informal situations.

The next one is another
phrasal verb and this is

And again it means to make somebody angry,

to push them until they maybe
explode or lose their temper.

So to rile up or to rile somebody
up is to make them angry.

So I could say, somebody's
been picking on me for a while

OK, the next words all
go with the verb to be.

So these are all ways to say
to be angry, or to be annoyed.

Livid just means really,
really, really angry.

Again, similar to livid,
really, really angry.

Then we have a couple
that aren't as strong.

That's annoyed and just
ever so slightly pissed off.

If somebody does something
that makes you go oh,

then you could say you feel a bit miffed.

And now I have some idioms
for you, some expressions

that we like to use to
express annoyance or anger.

The first one is to rub
somebody up the wrong way,

or also to rub somebody the
wrong way, the up is optional.

And to rub somebody the wrong
way, think about it this way,

or you can stroke them the
wrong way and it annoys them.

Well, this is exactly the same for people.

If you rub somebody up the
wrong way, you are treating them

in a way that might make
them angry or annoyed.

The next one, to be at
the end of one's tether.

it means I am this close to
losing to losing my temper.

You've really offended me,
you've really annoyed me,
