Meaning of A RIP-OFF - A Really Short English Lesson with Subtitles

READ ALONG TO PRACTICE YOUR ENGLISH AND TO LEARN THE MEANING OF A RIP-OFF: So there are two meanings to the word rip-off that I want to look at today. The first situation where I would use the word rip-off is to describe something that I think is way too expensive. Today I went to buy some things for my kids for school because they are starting school again in a couple of weeks and I thought that the pens were really, really cheap, but I thought the pencils were a rip-off. So you could buy 60 pens for $8, but you could only buy 10 pencils for $8. So I thought that seemed like a rip-off. The second meaning to the word rip-off I wanted to look at is to describe something that is a fake, or a copy, or a cheap imitation. Maybe you really, really like Calvin Klein jeans and you find them very expensive. There’s a good chance you could buy fake Calvin Klein jeans. You could buy jeans that are a rip-off. #englishteacher #englishclass #englishisfun --- ⌛ Be sure to watch the video TWICE today and ONCE tomorrow to reinforce the English that you have learned! --- ✅ SUBSCRIBE RIGHT HERE: --- ✅ Looking for longer English lessons?
