00:00Hey, do you want to watch Spider-Man?
00:03No, that's not my cup of tea.
00:05Cup of tea?
00:07Uh, this is your cup of tea.
00:10Yes, that is my cup of tea.
00:13But I meant cup of tea idiomatically.
00:16Idiomatically?
00:18Idiom?
00:23Hello, my name is Matty from POC English.
00:27What is an idiom?
00:29An idiom is a group of words that have a meaning
00:34different than the meaning of the single words separately.
00:38The English language is full of idioms, so it's very important to learn them.
00:44Now, in this lesson, we are going to learn five food idioms.
00:49Let's start.
00:50Idiom number one, not my cup of tea.
00:56If something is not your cup of tea, it means you don't like it
01:01and you are not interested in it.
01:03This idiom is usually used negatively to say that I don't like something,
01:08so we usually say not my cup of tea.
01:12For example,
01:14Do you want to go skiing this weekend?
01:17No, not really.
01:19Skiing is not my cup of tea.
01:21Skiing is not my cup of tea, which means I don't like skiing.
01:26I'm not interested in it.
01:28It's not my cup of tea.
01:31Or here's another example.
01:33Cool guitar.
01:35You must love music, don't you?
01:38Not really.
01:39My roommate plays the guitar.
01:41In fact, music is not really my cup of tea.
01:45Music is not my cup of tea, which means I don't like music.
01:50I'm not into music.
01:52It's not my cup of tea.
01:54Idiom number two, to cry over spilled milk.
01:59To cry over spilled milk.
02:02But what does it mean?
02:12To cry over spilled milk means to get upset over something bad that has happened
02:19and that you cannot change it.
02:22Again, this idiom is usually used negatively,
02:25and we usually say don't cry over spilled milk,
02:29which means there is no point in being sad over something that has happened
02:35and that cannot be changed.
02:36You cannot do anything about it.
02:39It has happened.
02:40Forget about it.
02:41Don't cry over spilled milk.
02:44Oh man, if only I had studied harder.
02:48Well, you can't go back in time, can you?
02:52Uh, no, of course not.
02:54So don't cry over spilled milk.
02:57Focus on the future.
02:59Idiom number three, a hard nut or a hard nut to crack.
03:05Some people even say a tough nut or a tough nut to crack.
03:10But what does it mean?
03:12You can use this idiom to talk about people
03:15and to say that someone is difficult to deal with or is difficult to understand.
03:20Do you think you can get him to agree to the contract?
03:24Uh, I don't know.
03:26I'll do my best.
03:28He's a hard nut to crack.
03:30He is a hard nut to crack.
03:34He's a hard nut to crack means he is a difficult person to deal with.
03:39It's not easy to deal with him.
03:41It's not easy to understand him.
03:43You can also use this idiom to talk about things and objects.
03:48So what do you think we should do?
03:52I don't know.
03:53This problem is a hard nut to crack.
03:56This problem is a hard nut to crack,
04:01which means it's a very difficult problem to deal with.
04:05It's not easy to deal with this problem.
04:08It's a very tricky problem.
04:09It's a hard nut to crack.
04:12The next idiom is my favorite idiom.
04:15Let's see if you can get it.
04:17Piece of cake.
04:20What does it mean when something is a piece of cake?
04:23This is my favorite idiom because it's also the name of my channel,
04:28Piece of Cake English.
04:30English is a piece of cake.
04:32But what does it mean?
04:33Does it mean it's sweet?
04:35It's delicious?
04:37What does it mean?
04:38If something is a piece of cake, it means it's very easy to do.
04:44So Piece of Cake English, POC English, POC English, my channel,
04:50means that learning English is a piece of cake.
04:54Learning English is something very easy to do.
04:58With me.
04:59I have a job interview tomorrow and I am very nervous.
05:05Don't worry.
05:06I'm sure the job interview will be a piece of cake.
05:10I am sure the job interview will be a piece of cake.
05:15Which means I'm sure the job interview will be something really easy to do.
05:21You can easily take care of the job interview.
05:24It's very easy.

06:11Hmm.
06:12Are we talking about breakfast?
06:14Because we have bread and butter for breakfast.
06:17No, we're not talking about breakfast.
06:20We're talking about money.
06:22Bread and butter means somebody's main source of income.
06:27Where someone earns money from.
