Today Teresa talks about the expression slo-mo. This idiom is of the type rhymes with words that have meaning. It describes a type of film playback.

So slo-mo is film that has been slowed down so you can see each movement or all of the motion very easily. We also use this idiom for non-film situations.

Today Teresa talks about the expression win-win. This idiom is of the straight-up repeated type. It is used to describe a situation that benefits two people or two groups of people.  I think you can hear the word win in there, so the repetition of good in this way win-win shows that it's good for one side- they win and it's good for the other side- they win. It's a win-win.
