258 – The Sibling Pod👪

Is it best to grow up with a brother, sister or an only child? We discuss the pros and cons of all these whilst also talking about imaginary girlfriends, favourite children, eating clothes and lots more! Lots of RnR Vocab, so put on your headphones, get comfy and just keeeeeeep on ROCKin’ baby! 👊

The RnR Vocab to look out for in today’s episode:

I thought I would get him on board
Just to keep you on your toes
He’s going to be a tough act to follow
Don’t put yourself down
Dialogues between 2 accomplices
Why so stingy with the stars?
I’ve tweaked the topic
Talking to thin air
Play it safe
Older brother looks out for you
I’ve lost a lot of ground
You’re doing your bit now on that front (kids married) whilst I’m still lagging behind
I need to pull my finger out here (have kids)
You’re just going to rock up at school
History? I’ll give it a go
Shaving becomes a chore
I got the hand-me-downs
Bit drawback of being the younger one
My brother used to eat the clothes so they were very manky
He used to eat the tassels
We’re biased so we’ll say brothers

RnR Grammar

Today is about the grammar of words… and by that I mean formality. As just remember that ALL words are adapt for each situation, even formal words sound strange in informal situations and obviously informal words sound strange in formal situations. But just remember that informal words in informal situations are PERFECT (and also very funny), so this means that terms like “hand-me-downs” and “manky” should NOT be disregarded, as they have their time and place too!
