<h2>Transcript</h2>

Mitch:
[0:22] So, today, we want to bring you an episode introducing everyday English idioms. And, what I&#39;ve done is I&#39;ve compiled some images for isi to look at and we&#39;re going to describe them for you audio listeners. And for you YouTube watchers/viewers, we&#39;re going to look at these images, and try to distinguish what the idiom is and what it means. Make sense?

Isi:
[0:52] Yeah, let&#39;s start.

Mitch:
[0:53] Let&#39;s start.

Isi:
[0:54] I have questions.

Mitch:
[0:55] Okay, so here is number one, everyday English idiom. What are you thinking?

Isi:
[1:03] Instead of a head, that person has a bowl of baked beans, as a head.

Mitch:
[1:09] Baked beans, very English. So?

Isi:
[1:13] Do you have a bean head?

Mitch:
[1:15] No.

Isi:
[1:15] You&#39;re a bean hat.

Mitch:
[1:16] A bean head, no. A bean head.

Isi:
[1:19] Could that mean that you&#39;re like, an idiot? Yeah, no?

Mitch:
[1:23] A bean head. Yeah, like a tiny brain. But no, that&#39;s not the idiom. this is an.. - Stew... you are... stew? - No, you know this idiom you use it a lot, actually. Or I use it a lot... - His head is farting? - Yeah, that&#39;s the correct idiom.

Isi:
[1:38] They&#39;re all in his body

Mitch:
[1:39] Imagine that the beans are filling up from his... up through his legs. - Full of beans! - He is...

Isi:
[1:46] That&#39;s a weird picture for it, though. Did you find that, for &#39;full of beans&#39;? Did chat ChatGPT do this for you

Mitch:
[1:51] I made all these images on an AI image generator.

Isi:
[1:55] That&#39;s &#39;full of beans&#39;

Mitch:
[1:57] That is the best way I could describe &#39;full of beans&#39;. Okay, tell me then, what does &#39;full of beans&#39; mean, and when would you use it?

Isi:
[2:05] Um... you would describe a person or yourself.

Mitch:
[2:10] Yeah.

Isi:
[2:11] I think you don&#39;t really say it about yourself.

Mitch:
[2:13] No.

Isi:
[2:14] More about others. - Yeah. - If someone is in a very good mood, very active, busy, maybe a bit like, dancing around.

Mitch:
[2:24] Exactly.
