This segment vividly demonstrates real-life usage of the phrases in context.

[Aubrey Carter]

How are you? Lindsay?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Good. I was wondering what kind of driver are you, Aubry? Are you an aggressive driver? Are you a tentative driver?

[Aubrey Carter]

What do you like about an aggressive driver? In fact, this is funny. Just yesterday I sort of pulled out in front of someone and they were so mad they were flipping me off and yelling. And because I'm used to the Tesla speeds up very fast. It's very fast so I can sort of pull out and quickly go. And I forgot that I was not in the Tesla. I was in my mom suv and I pulled out and like it just isn't as fast. But it was one of those where I was turning right and someone else was turning right into the the street that I was turning out of. So the person behind them had to slow down and break anyway, so I was kind of good to go. They must have like floored it to get behind me to let me know how mad they were. But scary. So that person's definitely more aggressive than I am. But I am a pretty Aggressive.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I'm pretty aggressive. That's. That's good to know. That's interesting. I wouldn't have thought that, but I like that. So today's episode was inspired by a role play in episode 2550, just about 30 episodes back. What did I say in that role play, Aubry?

[Aubrey Carter]

Yes. You said, I shouldn't have tried to make the light. This was a really fun role play. Lindsay and I had to act. We were pretending we had been in a car accident and I was very angry. So if you missed that roleplay, you'll have to go check it out after this episode. But we realized that phrase make the light and a lot of phrases like that that we use with driving are really interesting. So we're going to cover some of those today.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah, I mean, I wonder if our listeners were confused by that. Right. Make the light. Do I mean, construct a, a new light?

[Aubrey Carter]

That's what you would think that means, right? What are you making?

[Lindsay McMahon]

What are we making today? Because usually make and do are very clear.

[Aubrey Carter]

Right, right.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Make the light. So today we're going into some good idiomatic language. But before we get into it, Aubry, what is the number one way to consume this show?

But listen, watching transcripts go by on your screen as you're learning would make it to bring it to the next level.

[Aubrey Carter]

Absolutely.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Good.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah. So go check it out, guys. If you don't have the app yet, download it today.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Good. Okay, cool. So first one would be traffic lights. And timing is our first category. So tell us about this.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah, so we have a few sort of buckets today and this is the first one, timing traffic lights with that first phrase, make the light. So this means to get through a stoplight before it turns red. So often someone will speed up a Little bit to get through if it's yellow or about to change. Right. So they can make the light.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Make the light. So you could say we barely made the light. Meaning you basically went through it. Yeah. When it was yellow, probably.

[Aubrey Carter]

Right? Exactly. Like you just barely got through it in time without having to stop. Right? Yeah. Or the accident was caused by someone trying to make the light. That happens a lot where someone's trying to get through the light. The other traffic coming from the other way hits that car.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

True.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I don't know why I still do this, but I still do it. Every time I go through a yellow. A yellow light, I still kiss the ceiling. Like, I kiss my hand and kisses it. I don't even know where it came from. I don't even know if it's religious or what it even is, but I do it. I started doing it when I.

[Aubrey Carter]

Do your parents do that?

[Lindsay McMahon]

No. No one else does it. No friends do it.

[Aubrey Carter]

I'm just the only one throwing salt over your shoulder. It's like a superstition. Yeah, it's a superstition.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I don't even. It's just weird how we. These little personal habits of our personalities, they stick.

[Aubrey Carter]

I love that. That's a fun quirk. That's kind of a little quirk.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I can't stop doing it. So there you go. All right. What would be the next one? Aubry.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah. So this has a very similar meaning. Beat the light. So we try to make the light. We try to beat the light to speed up. To try and get through the light without having to stop.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yes, exactly. So you could say he sped up again. The past tense of speed up is sped up, guys. Right. He sped up and beat the light by just a second. Right.

[Aubrey Carter]

Or he tried to beat the light and got a photo radar ticket for running it.

[Athletic Brewing Co. Announcer]

Oh, yeah.

[Lindsay McMahon]

See, that's.

[Aubrey Carter]

I don't know about where you live. There are so many photo radar cameras where we live now. If someone runs the light, then they're likely to get a ticket in the mail.

[Lindsay McMahon]

It just used to be so easy. You just had to get one of those radar detectors. We had those when I was growing up. I don't know if you had those. They would sit on your dashboard and it would detect. Did you have a radar?

[Aubrey Carter]

Oh, yeah.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Everyone in my family had them. We all did. I think it was like a New Hampshire thing. I don't know. Live free or die state. Right. Like, you get your radar detect winter, and it would just go beep like crazy when there was a cop sitting There ready to get you. But now it's just so much more complicated. Right. There are cameras above us. There are, like, helicopters that will take your photo of your license plate.

[Aubrey Carter]

It's a lot going on, which is safer for us. Right. It's forcing cars to drive more safely. But, yeah, you can't get away with what you could in the 90s.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I missed the 90s.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah.

[Lindsay McMahon]

And then hit every red light. Did you feel like this happens to you sometimes?

[Aubrey Carter]

Always. If I'm in a hurry, yes.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yes.

[Aubrey Carter]

So this is, you know, it really means to, like, have to stop at every stoplight because it's turning red right before you get there. Yeah. But it's interesting. We use this sometimes idiomatically to just mean, I'm having bad timing, Things are not going well. You know, you could be talking about life in general. Be like, it's like I'm hitting every red light. Right.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Like, you're in a cycle of things that are stopping you or preventing your success.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah. Nothing's going your way.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah. And I love that idea of using this as kind of an analogy in life. You could. I. I've never done it. But you could do it, right? You could. It's like, yeah, I'm just trying to get things done. But I'm hitting every red light this week.

[Aubrey Carter]

Absolutely. Yeah. So for. Here's some examples. I hit every red light on the way here. This is. Hit is an interesting verb where it's the same in present and the past participle. So I hit every red light on the way here.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I love that. So good. Yes. Or you could just say, seems like I always hit every red light. So we don't know whether that's metaphorical or whether that's literal, but most of the time it is literal. But, yeah, it could be metaphorical. Really cool. Then speed and flow.

[Aubrey Carter]

Right?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Tell us about this.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah. So there are a few other things we say, and it's more about the speed and flow of traffic. So floor it means to accelerate really hard sort of all of a sudden. So you might say, floor it or we'll miss the exit. Like, you have to get around a car to exit off the freeway.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yep. Or I need to floor it to pass this car. Right. And some cars that don't have as much horsepower, maybe, like the car you're talking, you would need to floor it to get past a car. Right, Exactly.

[Aubrey Carter]

Exactly. Right. So, yeah, that just. You can say speed up. Right. But floor it means, like, you are pressing the accelerator pedal all the way to the Baseboard all the way to the floor.

[Lindsay McMahon]

It's also more fun to say than speed up.

[Aubrey Carter]

Come on, floor it, guys.

[Lindsay McMahon]

We don't endorse speeding. Don't get the wrong idea.

[Aubrey Carter]

Don't get speeding tickets and blame those

[Lindsay McMahon]

antics in New Hampshire with my radar detector were when I was 17. Okay. I'm much older and smarter now. Yeah.

[Aubrey Carter]

And I'm curious if this one was popular where. Where you grew up, if you're used to this one. Lindsay, this means the same thing as floor it. We would say gun it. And that means also to accelerate suddenly.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yes, yes, absolutely right. Exactly. Yeah, you'd say that. You could say that to someone. Come on, gun it. Like, let's get in the left lane. I know there's a big misunderstanding here, Aubry, because from what I understand, since I moved to the west, apparently the left lane is not a driving lane. But I think in the. In the East, I think more people just drive in the left lane.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yes, we have mentioned this on the podcast. It's really funny because in the west, the left lane is a passing lane. If you are not passing, get out of the left lane.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I got teased by my family, my in laws, when I moved here because I was just hanging out in the left lane, just driving faster. That's than other people, as long as

[Aubrey Carter]

you're faster than the flow of traffic. But in the West, I think we've got a lot of cowboys out here. Like, someone will come up behind me going 120, and if I'm in the left lane, they're gonna be mad because they're risking the ticket, the speeding ticket, to go that fast. Yeah.

[Lindsay McMahon]

You do not want to be in front of someone in a truck driving super fast like that in the US that's for sure.

[Aubrey Carter]

Good.

[Lindsay McMahon]

So Gunnet is a good one. These are both quite informal, Right. And kind of fun. But you, of course, could say, yo, let's speed it up.

[Aubrey Carter]

Right?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Maybe if you're running like a driver's ed class and you're trying to tell the kid to go faster, you probably don't say gun.

[Aubrey Carter]

Don't say gun it. You don't want driving students to floor it or gun it, right?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Definitely not, no.

[Aubrey Carter]

Here's a couple examples. He gunned it when the light turned yellow. Or I gunned it to get ahead of the truck. And all that means as I sped up quickly, abruptly.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Perfect.

[Aubrey Carter]

All right. Want to start us out?

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah. Oh, we're already late.

[Aubrey Carter]

I know.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Floor it and try to make the light.

[Aubrey Carter]

Sorry, couldn't make it.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Oh, man, you could have beat that light.

[Aubrey Carter]

No, the other day, I gunned it and tried to make a light, and I got a photo radar ticket for running it. Not worth it.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Now we're gonna be late for sure.

[Aubrey Carter]

I know. We'll probably hit every red light. Better than getting pulled over, though.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah, that's the worst. When you have someone in your car who's kind of bullying you to take more chances. I don't like that at all.

[Aubrey Carter]

I don't. You're, like, not liking your Persona in this role play, and you wouldn't do that. That's. That's good. I don't like that either.

[Lindsay McMahon]

No. No, I don't like that. Because I feel like when we're kids and we're learning to drive, we probably take silly risks, but then we get older, we get smarter. Like, you know. Yeah.

[Aubrey Carter]

Once we've seen a few tickets, we're gun shy. That's an interesting idiom. It means we, like, don't dare do it. We're not willing to risk the consequences.

[Lindsay McMahon]

No, absolutely not.

[Athletic Brewing Co. Announcer]

Yeah.

[Lindsay McMahon]

You get. I think you. Your prefrontal cortex comes in fully when

[Aubrey Carter]

you become fully developed, and we realize that's not worth it.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah, for sure. All right, so you said. I said, g, we're already late. And you said, I. You're driving. Right. And then I say, come on, floor it and try to make the light. So I'm pushing you, I'm encouraging, telling

[Aubrey Carter]

me to speed up, floor it. And, like, you know, the light just turned yellow. And you're telling me to try and get through the light. Try to beat the light. Make the light. And I don't. I break. I stop. And I'm like, sorry, I couldn't make it.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah. Yeah. And then I said, oh, man, you could have beat that light. I'm still pressuring you. Yeah.

[Aubrey Carter]

And now. Well, now you're criticizing me. Right. I'm stopped. There's nothing I could do. And now you're like, you could have beat that light or you could have made that light. It would mean like the worst. You should have gone through the yellow light.

[Lindsay McMahon]

We call this a backseat driver too.

[Aubrey Carter]

We don't like. Even though it's more often in shotgun. Right. It's the person right next to me that's backseat driving usually.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yep, yep, totally. And then what did you say?

[Aubrey Carter]

And I say no. The other day I gunned it and tried to make a light and I got a photo radar ticket. So that means I did that what she was telling me to do. Right. I sped up, got through a light just barely, but the photo radar determined that I ran that light. I like, should have stopped.

[Lindsay McMahon]

And it's always good when you. It's always helpful when you have someone like this kind of pressuring you and wanting you to do something. If you have a direct story of how you did the thing. And then this is what happened. Right.

[Aubrey Carter]

Even if that had happened years before one time, say yesterday, say the other day.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Right. I agree. And then I said, oh, now we're gonna be late for sure. So I'm still giving you a hard time.

[Aubrey Carter]

Right. And I said, we'll probably hit every red light. Better than getting pulled over, though.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Okay, fantastic. Really good stuff today. I mean, we know that car culture is really important in American culture.

[Aubrey Carter]

Right.

[Lindsay McMahon]

We've done episodes this winter and spring.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah, quite a bit.

[Lindsay McMahon]

I think. Michelle and I did a few series.

[Aubrey Carter]

It was like a three part series. It's so true. We talk about cars and driving a lot in the United States.

[Lindsay McMahon]

A lot. Because we spend a lot of time in our cars.

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah, right.

[Lindsay McMahon]

And so listen to this episode again, especially if you're living in the US because these are going to come up.

[Aubrey Carter]

Right. For sure.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Aubry, what's another episode to go to?

[Aubrey Carter]

Yeah, check out 2580 was avoid sorrow, worry and fear with these tips. We had a student ask about the difference between those words. That was an interesting episode. Don't miss it.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Yeah, I love it. And what's our final takeaway for today? Where should we leave our listeners?

[Aubrey Carter]

Don't run red lights. It's not worth getting in an accident or getting a speeding ticket. Right. This is great vocab. We do talk about this. You want these phrases to be able to discuss this? Yeah.

[Lindsay McMahon]

And I'm not sure if we mentioned this on the car culture episodes in that series, but another great connection topic that you could open up is asking them, asking people about their driver's tests.

[Aubrey Carter]

Right.

[Lindsay McMahon]

In the u. S. Most people take a driver's test when they're 16 or maybe 15 and get their driver's license. It's a big day for people in the U.S. totally.

[Aubrey Carter]

Right.

[Lindsay McMahon]

That's always putting up that experience. What was your test like? Did you have to parallel park? You know, did you pass the first time questions there could open up memories of of high school and could get you on like on track for connection. And that's the goal. Doesn't matter if the topic changes to something else after that.

[Aubrey Carter]

You're connecting. A lot of fun jumping up or what you asked me in the beginning here. Ask someone how aggressive of a driver they is. That's always a fun conversation. Yes.

[Lindsay McMahon]

Love it. So good. All right, great stuff today, guys. Don't forget to go over and get the app. So you see the transcripts for today. You'll also see the be able to tap.
