LnR 034 OMG!

In this episode I talk about words like gosh, shoot and darn that we use if we don't want to use a bad word.

Two students are talking:

A: Hey, Lisa, how are you?

B: Oh, hi, John. I'm OK. Actually, I'm not OK. I just took Miss Buswell's quiz!

A: Oh my gosh, I took it this morning! It was so hard!

B: It was too hard. I didn't think she would ask such detailed questions.

A: Yeah, right? She said the quiz was going to be on the podcast interview with Max, but who could have guessed she would make it so hard?

B: Yeah. I bet I missed half the questions.

A: My goodness, I bet I missed half, too, darn it.

B: Well, what can we do? Maybe she'll have mercy on us.

A: Maybe. Quiet! Here she comes. Hi, Miss Buswell.

B: Hi, Miss Buswell.You look very nice today. I like that color.

Miss Buswell: Thanks. . . . but are you trying to flatter me? Flattery will get you nowhere.

A: Oh, no. We mean it. And we love your podcasts, too. We listen to them every day.

Miss Buswell: Really? That makes me happy.

B: Now about those quizzes . . . .
