#118-Today we cover another new word or phrase that you may not be familiar with in today's"What does this mean?" episode.In these episodes, we take a word that you may think that you know the meaning of. What is different about this episode is that you will learn a new word or phrase that has a different meaning in modern conversational 'social English'.Today's word is..."Flex"This phrase is very popular around the world now, mostly because of youtube. Most Japanese people learn the word flex in JHS because it is short, simple, and explains a lot. You may even know what the normal use for the word "flex" means. OK.... so now let's define it: Flex- To bend as a part of the body, or it can also mean to tighten a muscle. Here is an example: "A bodybuilder is judged on how well they can flex their muscles."That sentence and that definition are of course correct. But... I'm not talking about that usage or meaning. I'm talking about the "new" way that this phrase is used.


Thanks,

-Percy

 今日は、今日の「これはどういう意味ですか?」ではなじみのない別の新しい単語やフレーズを取り上げます。 これらのエピソードでは、あなたがその意味を知っていると思うかもしれない言葉を取り上げます。 このエピソードの違いは、現代の会話の「社会的英語」で異なる意味を持つ新しい単語やフレーズを学ぶことです。今日の単語は...「フレックス」このフレーズは現在世界中で非常に人気があります。 ユーチューブの。 ほとんどの日本人は、JHSでフレックスという言葉を学びます。なぜなら、それは短く、単純で、多くのことを説明しているからです。 「フレックス」という言葉の通常の使用法が何を意味するかさえ知っているかもしれません。 OK ....では、それを定義しましょう。フレックス-体の一部として曲がること、または筋肉を引き締めることを意味することもあります。 ここに例があります:「ボディービルダーは彼らが彼らの筋肉をどれだけうまく曲げることができるかで判断されます。」その文とその定義はもちろん正しいです。しかし...私はその使用法や意味について話していません。 私はこのフレーズが使われる「新しい」方法について話している。

Join Percy Woods III for Social English ソーシャル英語, a podcast built on the idea that textbook English and the language used in everyday conversation are often worlds apart. This is a space for Japanese learners to move beyond formal grammar and into the fluid, sometimes messy, realm of real talk. Percy acts as your American friend and guide, breaking down the casual phrases, cultural nuances, and unspoken rules that native speakers use daily. You'll hear friendly discussions that tackle specific English topics, always with a focus on practical application in social situations. A key part of the podcast involves Percy correcting English submitted by Japanese listeners, offering clear explanations that go beyond a simple fix to explore why a certain phrasing sounds more natural. He also addresses common pitfalls, like direct translations from search engines that can sound awkward to a native ear. The goal is straightforward: to build the confidence needed for genuine communication with English speakers anywhere. Each episode is a step toward understanding the living language as it's actually spoken, making those social interactions-whether online, while traveling, or in professional settings-feel more accessible and less intimidating. Tune in for a supportive and detailed look at the English you need for real connection.
