To be Fed Up
Listen to the most recent episode of my podcast: #751 To be Fed Up Listen to episode
Extract:
Hello, everyone, and welcome again to another Teacher Joseph podcast.
Today, the phrase we have is “to be fed up”. To be fed up, and it basically means to be bored or to be mentally tired of a particular situation. Now, it can also mean a little bit depressed.
So for example, you might hear your friends say:
Oh, I’m really fed up of this job, I’ve been doing it now for 10 years.
I’m fed up of my boss’s behaviour. He always acts inappropriately.
Today, I feel really fed up. It’s wet outside and I don’t have very much to do.
To be fed up. A synonym of bored or perhaps even to be depressed.

And of course, as a nation, we don’t really taste things. We just drink in volumes because we, we don’t really have an appreciation you know…. we don’t taste the wine and say
“Oh delicious, dry, sweet,,,, would be nice with fish”.
No…. we just drink to get drunk so it’s no surprise then that we would want wine by the pint rather than appreciating the delicacy and beauty of the drink. So we’re going to go through this story and we’ll be talking about it as we go.
