Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!
Today’s expression is “keep your shirt on”.
You must be wondering why would someone say “keep your shirt on” — does it really mean something else?
Yes, it does, and it’s quite an origin story!
Let’s start off with a question from Brian who asks the pronunciation difference between the words “worn”, “warm”, and “worm”.
There’s also quick gag about Wally — as in the guy in “Where’s Wally?”.
We will then break down the meaning of the words in the expression.
There will also be example situations where you can use the expression “keep your shirt on”.
And finally, don’t forget to download this episode’s FREE worksheet and listen to a clip from the Aussie crime movie The Dry.
Remember, you can play back the audio so you can listen to the dialogue!
