Episode Structure

Overview

• Purpose: To help English learners understand the various ways "hurt" is used in everyday American English—physically, emotionally, and abstractly (damage)—and how to express these feelings to foster deeper human connection.
• Focus: Practical vocabulary, idioms, and conversation strategies for discussing pain or damage, beyond just literal injury.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introduction to "Hurt"

• [03:09] Lindsay: “Getting into the word hurt…”
• The word "hurt" frequently comes up in English and is useful for many conversations.
• Bonus vocabulary: "Catastrophize" (when you imagine the worst possible outcome from a minor issue).
  • [02:34] Lindsay: “Kind of a strange sounding word, but a good one… when you make things a catastrophe.”

---

2. The Three Types of "Hurt"

A. Physical Hurt

• Use "hurt" to talk about injuries or bodily pain.
  • [03:40] Michelle: “The first way… is the physical form. Right? So: I hurt my hamstring in the gym.”
  • [04:00] Lindsay: “Or she hurt her funny bone on the door frame. That's the worst, right?”
• Discussed the "funny bone" as a part of your elbow that’s painful when hit.
  • [04:13] Lindsay: “The funny bone's pretty funny because it's weird, right? It's more painful, actually not so funny.”
• The anticipation of pain: noticing a delay between injury and feeling hurt.
  • [04:33] Michelle: “That happens… with burns, stubbing your toe… there is that moment… you can anticipate it.”
• Other usages: “My head hurts.”

B. Emotional Hurt

• "Hurt" expresses emotional pain, such as feelings caused by someone else’s words or actions.
  • [05:26] Michelle: “The more emotional way… something hurts your heart, but not actually physical pain.”
  • [05:44] Lindsay: “Or: It hurt me when you made fun of my job in front of my friends.”
• Articulating hurt feelings is an important relationship skill.
  • [05:55] Michelle: “Being able to articulate when you've been hurt… is kind of a key relationship skill.”
• Apologizing for unintentionally hurting someone is discussed as a mark of empathy.
  • [06:08] Lindsay: “Just some comment that we don't know is affecting someone… I try to just apologize.”

C. Abstract/Damage (Hurting Opportunities or Objects)

• "Hurt" can also mean to cause damage, prevent success, or reduce chances—broader than just bodily or emotional pain.
  • [08:03] Michelle: “Which is the more abstract version… It’s more about damage. Right. So: She hurt her chances by showing up an hour late.”
  • [08:27] Lindsay: “Or, you can hurt your hair if you dry it without a heat protectant spray.”
• Sometimes actions, not just words, “hurt” future outcomes.
  • [08:46] Michelle: “You can cause problems for the future with your hair. Did you ever do something… you felt hurt your chances of succeeding at work?”

3. Phrases, Idioms & Common Expressions

[11:27] Segment on Useful Sayings

Everyday Phrases

• Hurt Someone’s Feelings:
  • Discussed as more commonly used by children, not ideal for professional settings.
    • [12:02] Lindsay: “I do think it's juvenile… a kid would come home from school and say, ‘Johnny hurt my feelings.’”
• What Hurts the Most Is...
  • Use when articulating the most painful aspect of a situation.
    • [13:09] Lindsay: “What hurts the most is how she doesn't seem to care at all that the relationship is over.”
• It Can’t Hurt:
  • Use this phrase to suggest trying something with little or no risk.
    • [13:20] Lindsay: “It can't hurt, right? … like, survival skills in the wild… it would be good to know.”
• Hurt People, Hurt People:
  • A reflective saying that people who have been hurt may go on to hurt others.
    • [14:12] Lindsay: “Hurt people, hurt people… people that have been hurt before tend to hurt people.”

---

4. Role Play Demonstration

[14:56–16:34]
Lindsay and Michelle perform a short role play to show the phrases in context:

• Lindsay (upset): “It seemed she was out to hurt me.”
• Michelle (comforting): “That’s terrible… why don’t you call her one more time? It can’t hurt.”
• Lindsay (switching to physical pain): “Ouch… Oh, nothing. I hurt my shoulder at the gym yesterday.”

Key takeaway: “Hurt” is used fluidly for both emotional and physical pain in natural conversation.

---

5. Synthesis & Cultural Reflections

• [16:46–18:06] Connection takeaway:
  • Everyone experiences some kind of hurt in life—it’s universal and can be a starting point for connection with others.
    • [16:52] Lindsay: “No one makes it through life without some of hurt. Right? This is being human.”
    • [17:30] Michelle: “There are certain universal hurts… that can help you connect.”
  • Painful experiences can foster understanding, empathy, and depth in relationships.
    • [17:34] Lindsay: “…when I was heartbroken, I became more empathetic… so there's something kind of cool about that too.”
    • [17:56] Michelle: “…even if they're painful, you can really, you know, morph into something even better and become stronger.”

Notable Quotes and Memorable Moments

[A]

Hey, Lindsay, how are you?

[C]

I'm doing good today, Michelle. Excited to be on the mic with you as always.

[B]

What are we getting into on the show today?

[A]

Lindsay, when was the last time you were physically hurt?

[C]

Oh my gosh, yesterday I had some pain in my left hip. It was so random. And then it kind of went away randomly.

[A]

Oh my gosh.

[C]

And then went away randomly. So yeah, I don't know. Who knows?

[A]

It's so weird when that happens. And you know, I mean, if you're some people, their mind might go, oh my gosh, what's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? And then.

[C]

Right.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, exactly. So, Lindsay, on a recent episode, the word hurt came up and we realized how useful it is and important for our listeners to know how to use it. So that's what we're going to talk about today. The word hurt.

[C]

Yeah, I love it. And I want to highlight a little bonus word that came up just in our little chat there, Michelle. The word catastrophize. Yeah. Kind of a strange sounding word, but a good one for listeners to know when you make things a catastrophe. Right?

[A]

Yeah. When you think like the worst thing is going to happen, you think, oh, I have my hip hurts, so I'm dying, you know, and I think, I think Everybody does that. To some extent.

[C]

We do. And it's gotten so much work because we have, you know, we go on to. What is it? Web, WebMD. And then it's always like, I have cancer.

[A]

Right? Yes, exactly. I know. It's really.

[C]

It's. Back in the old days, you just used to wait, maybe. Maybe make an appointment with a doctor, and then I feel like things could just stay a little more calm in our mind sometimes, right?

[A]

Yes, yes, exactly. Exactly. Yep.

[B]

So getting into the word hurt.

[C]

But before we get further into it, I want to remind our listeners, guys, if you love our show, we are all about connection, not perfection. That means we believe the most important

[B]

thing we're doing here is not grammar. It's not vocabulary, it's not pronunciation.

[C]

It's connection. So we show you for each episode what this means, what everything we're learning means for connection, and how you can lead a happier life with more connections in English. Okay, good.

[A]

Perfect.

[C]

So, all right, hit that follow button.

[A]

Now hit the follow button. All right, so let's get into it. So the first way that we're going to talk about it is the physical form. Right. So I hurt my hamstring in the gym. Yes.

[C]

I hurt my hamstring in the gym. Very straightforward. Or she hurt her funny bone on the door frame.

[A]

That's the worst, right? The funny bone. Lindsay, what's the funny bone?

[C]

I know the funny. The funny bone's pretty funny because it's weird, right? It's more painful, actually not so funny. It's part of the elbow.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Where sometimes we knock it. If you hit, it just reverberates, right?

[A]

Yeah. There's something about it. I wonder why actually, now I'm gonna.

[C]

Tendon that goes far throughout your. Your arm or something.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Because you could feel it moving. Do you ever experience that moment when you know pain is coming, but it hasn't traveled to your brain yet? Do. Do you, like, experience that gap where you're like.

[A]

Well, that happens with. Well, with, like, burns, Right. When you, like, burn your hand on something. And I mean, that's even maybe like a litter, a little more of a delay than what you're talking about, but, like, stubbing your toe, even. Yeah. There is that moment.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You're like, oh, no, like, coming.

[C]

You know, it's. It's like. It's at least a second. A second where you're like, you can anticipate it. But then I wonder, does that make it worse? Because I'm expecting the pain, Right. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

It's probably some Sort of protective mechanism.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't know. Who knows?

[C]

I could hurt. Right? Your head hurts. Like you could say, my head hurts. You have a headache or something.

[A]

Right. So, Lindsay, does anything hurt you right now or is your hip okay?

[C]

Luckily. All good today, Michelle. All good, all good. But. But fit. But hurt is. Is just one way to use it. Is physical. There's another way that we could use it. And what's that?

[A]

The more emotional way. Right. So this is, you know, something hurts your heart, something hurts you in some way, but not actually physical pain. So for example, he didn't realize it, but he hurt her every time he brought up her relationship.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Or it hurt me when you made

[C]

fun of my job in front of my friends. And this is kind of a key relationship skill, being able to articulate when you've been hurt. Right? Yeah.

[A]

I mean, Lindsay, do you have you ever unintentionally hurt someone's feelings? Are you worried? Yeah, we all have, Right?

[C]

Of course, if you're living our lives out in the world, we might not. I would never intentionally hurt someone.

[A]

Right.

[C]

But it can happen. Just some comment that we don't know is affecting someone in some way. Yeah, I try to just apologize and just be like, come clean and just say, I didn't realize that that was going to hurt you. I apologize. What about you, Michelle? What's your go to?

[A]

Yeah, I would do the same thing sometimes, though. Do you ever do something ever happen where you're not sure if you hurt someone's feelings and you. And you're kind of thinking it through and you're saying, oh, I wonder if this was insensitive because of this thing that person was going through and should I say something about it to acknowledge it or should I just pretend it never happened? You know, I think you and I

[C]

are similar in that way. I think we've talked about this on the show before. Like, we both have pretty high empathy levels and it's like, yeah, that can be a double edged sword. Right. Because it can mean you can turn on yourself and you can think, oh, like, am I hurting someone? Did I hurt this person? And it can be kind of debilitating at times. Right. Because we can't move forward and think clearly. Yeah, 100% I do that. Yes.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Or I get very worried about, like, not including people.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

That like, someone will feel that, like they aren't included or that I didn't, you know, so sometimes I'll, like, I'm even trying to get, like, together like a, like a Girls game thing with my friends and my, you know, I'm trying to think who would. And I would invite just everyone because, yeah, of course I. I can't, like, I'm, like, so scared that someone would get their feelings hurt.

[C]

Of course. Of course.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You don't want to miss anyone. Yeah, no, I get that. That makes sense.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Because you don't want to think about that person realizing they're not being invited and feeling bad.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So, yeah, that's actually happening to someone. I know right now that they're. They live in a neighborhood where it feels like all the other couples are doing stuff without them and they feel quite excluded.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Like, we're human beings. We can't help but feel hurt at times by these things, right?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. So then we're going to talk about another one, which is the more abstract version. It's more about damage. Right. So she hurt her chances by showing up an hour late to the interview.

[C]

Yes, yes. This is damage. So you prevent something from succeeding. Right. Or it hurts me to see you like this. This one probably.

[A]

I mean, it's more emotional, I would say. Yeah, I would say it belongs in that box more.

[C]

Whoops.

[A]

Yeah. Or you can hurt your hair if you dry it without heat. Protectant spray. So also a little bit physical, but, like, not necessarily, like, feeling pain. Right, yes. Damage you can.

[C]

Damage. You can cause problems for the future with your hair. Exactly. Did you ever do something, Michelle, you felt hurt? Your chances of succeeding at work?

[A]

I've been in situations. Not at all. There's English. But where, like, I felt I'm. I. I am very social and very outgoing, but where I felt like I wasn't quite in the cool kids club.

[C]

Oh, no. Cool kids Middle school. There's a cool kids club at work, too.

[A]

I mean, this was like, in one of my first jobs at. Well, not one of my first jobs out of college, but in the ESL industry. And I just felt like I didn't necessarily wasn't, like, totally in with the people in the teacher's room. And so then you always wonder, like, oh, you know, if you feel uncomfortable, does that show. Does that, like, keep you from getting ahead? So, yeah, I would say that I felt that way.

[C]

Interesting. Very normal thing. I feel like I'm not usually in either. I mean, that's the thing, right? Like, we're learning to connect here, and often we. We can feel left out and not in that co club. But then we realize we might have stronger relationships at work than we. Than we think we do right individual, individually, you know, so there's hope.

[A]

There's hope for us yet.

[C]

There's hope.

[A]

All right.

[C]

What else? Michelle? We'll take a quick break, actually. Let's take a quick break, and then we'll be right back. Yeah, okay.

[B]

[C]

All right, so there are different sayings that our listeners should probably know because they're kind of chunks, they're kind of sayings.

[B]

We have a few of them to share.

[C]

They're kind of idioms.

[A]

Right. And, guys, you know, there's way more that we could even say about hurt. Oh, yeah. Different grammar points. But we just wanted to do the basics today. And, yeah, teach these. These chunks. These are really useful. I mean, so the first one is hurt someone's feelings. Yes. Yeah. I mean, it's not a physical pain, but it's an emotional pain. So it's a little juvenile sounding. What do you think?

[C]

Yeah, I would be careful with this. I do think it's juvenile. I think it's something that maybe a kid would come home from school and he's crying, say, oh, you know, Johnny hurt my feelings. Talk to his mom. Which is fine, but therefore, I probably wouldn't translate it into the adult workplace.

[A]

Right. No, I wouldn't say, oh, she hurt my feelings. I would.

[C]

I would come up with another way to say that.

[A]

Yes, exactly.

[C]

Or even just saying she hurt me, although she hurt me has more gravity to it. So for the workplace.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I guess depending on your relationship with the person that hurt you. But if it's just a very casual, like you don't know the person very well, they work in a different department. I think it's a little too strong for work.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

What do you think?

[E]

Think?

[A]

Yeah, I think so, too. It's a little much. It's a little extra, as they would say.

[C]

Extra,

[A]

or what hurts the most is. Right. So you're talking about some situation you're going through and you're saying like the worst part. What's like the most painful? So, for example, what hurts the most is how she doesn't seem to care at all that the relationship is over.

[C]

Yeah. So articulating the worst part. Hurt. Right. And then, I don't know. Have we done an episode on this? It can't hurt. We've done an episode on Can't Help that was a little bit different.

[A]

Right.

[C]

But this is good to know, too. It can't hurt, Right. I can give it a try. It can't hurt. So what would be an example of this? I don't know. I guess if you are, like, learning a new skill and you don't know if you'll need that skill, like survival skills in the wild or something, you can learn the skills and you're like, well, I don't think I'm going to end up needing to spend the night in the woods, but it would be good to know how to do it if I did. It can't hurt, right?

[A]

Exactly. You do something, you go, maybe. Maybe you go through even some sort of inconvenience a little bit. And you might not. And you might realize that you didn't need to do something.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

But it didn't. It can't hurt. It might. It's worth a try. It's basically like saying. Yeah.

[C]

And then the other phrase that I feel like is. Is good to mention right now. That's been coming up a lot lately, just due to the craziness going on in the world, is the phrase hurt people, hurt people.

[A]

Does that.

[C]

Does that resonate? So people that have been hurt before tend to hurt people. If that makes sense.

[A]

So that's interesting. I mean, grammatically, what's going on there's really interesting. Right.

[C]

So the person is hurt. So as an adjective. Right. And then we turn around and we use it as a verb.

[B]

So hurt people. Hurt people.

[A]

Hurt people. Right.

[C]

And it's sort of just like observing human nature and just. Yeah, I don't know. I've. I've Seen it happening out in the world sometimes. Right. There's just a lot. Like, if people have been through a lot, they might turn around and create harm in the world. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's just been coming up a lot lately. So interesting stuff. Michelle, shall we go into a role play?

[A]

Let's do it. So here we are, friends, and I'm upset about a fight that I got in with our mutual friend.

[C]

Okay. I'm so sorry that happened.

[A]

Thanks. It's just. It seemed she was out to hurt me.

[B]

That's terrible.

[A]

And what hurts the most is that we have had conflicts before.

[C]

Before.

[A]

But she always seemed to care. She doesn't seem to care anymore.

[C]

Oh, I'm sure she cares. Why don't you call her one more time? It can't hurt.

[A]

Yeah, maybe.

[C]

Ouch. What's wrong?

[A]

Oh, nothing. I hurt my shoulder at the gym yesterday. I'm fine.

[C]

Yeah, that's what happens when you start working out.

[A]

Right.

[C]

You have all these ailments, all these.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Soreness going on. Coming up.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

All right. So we use these phrases in different ways. You said, I'm so sorry that happened. About the fight. I said about the fight. And he said, thanks. It just seemed she was out to hurt me.

[B]

Out to hurt.

[C]

Right. She was trying to hurt you in a way.

[A]

That was her goal. Yeah, exactly. And then I said, what hurts most is that we've had conflicts before, but she always seemed to care. She doesn't seem to care anymore. So that's the worst part about it.

[C]

Yeah. Common. If you're going through a breakup. Right. There's always something that's like the most painful part.

[A]

Right.

[C]

And then I said, I'm sure she cares. Why don't you call her one more time? It can't hurt.

[A]

So. And then I said, yeah, maybe. And then I said, ouch.

[C]

Right. And I said, what's wrong?

[A]

And I said, oh, nothing. I hurt my shoulder at the gym yesterday. I'm fine. So physical pain.

[C]

Yeah. So this is clearly used all over the place. Today we went through the. The buckets of the word hurt. Physical, emotional, or just damage. Right. Doing damage to something, a relationship, your hair, whatever it is. Michelle, is there another episode we should go to?

[A]

Guys, check out episode 2588. That was. We wish for you to master English.

[C]

And I really think the connection skill here is that no one makes it through life without some of hurt. Right. This is being human.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

A key, essential piece of being human is you are vulnerable to being hurt physically, like, emotionally, but, like, that's also means that we're just. We're just alive. Right. So on a deeper level, we share that so we can connect over that. I mean, like, you've. You've been through heartbreak, right, Michelle? Like, romantic heartbreak. I've been through it. We've all had our first heartbreak. And if you talk about your first heartbreak, people can relate to you enormously, don't you think?

[A]

Yes, absolutely. There are certain universal hurts. I guess I'm gonna call them.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

That people go through that, you know, can help you connect.

[C]

And also they make you stronger, they make you smarter. They kind of. They make your heart a bit more tender. I think I know when I was going through some tough breakups in my 20s and 30s, I feel like I became, like, in that moment when I was heartbroken, I became more open. Like, I became more empathetic to other people. Like, more sensitive. Right. So there's something kind of cool about that too.

[A]

Yeah. As you grow and you develop more experiences, even if they're painful, you can really, you know, morph into something even better and become stronger. So.

[C]

So deep. So deep.

[A]

So deep, guys.

[C]

Very good stuff. If you guys like our style, we like to go deep. We like to talk about connection, which is really why we're here. Learning the language, right? It's not for grammar.
