Hello Li. Now come on Li, concentrate, because I need you to help me finish this quiz in the newspaper. If I get all the questions right, I might win a holiday.
Oh right. I love quizzes, especially if it means you can win a holiday. OK Rob, what's your next question?
Right. OK, well it says here, what is the capital city of Chile?
Easy. Santiago.
Good, excellent, right. Next, what is the name of the world's largest ocean?
The Pacific, of course.
Wow, Li, you're good. You really know your onions.
I know my onions? Err, was there a question about onions?
No Li.
Good, because that is one thing I don't know anything about, onions, except that they make me cry.
Don't cry Li. Don't cry. It's a compliment. If someone says you know your onions, it means you are experienced in something or you know a lot about a particular subject. So really, it means you're clever.
Oh really? But but why onions?
Hmm, it is a strange term and some people say it comes from a man called S.G. Onions who made fake coins to help teach children about money. If they learnt about money they would know their onions.
I see. But I suppose now we just use it as a silly expression.
We do, a bit like this.
If you ever need someone to fix your computer, ask Bob, he really knows his onions.
Look, you got full marks in the maths test. You really do know your onions.
That tour guide really knew her onions, didn't she?
So knowing your onions means knowing a lot about something. Well that describes me very well then.
Hmm. Now another way of saying it, is that you really know your stuff.
Stuff. You mean like this.
When it comes to making cakes, my mum really knows her stuff.
Well, knowing your onions or knowing your stuff, is very useful when you're doing a quiz like this. So Li, here's another question. Right, Li, complete the name of this flavour of crisp, cheese and something?
Oh, that's tricky, cheese and ham? Cheese and apple? No, I've got it. It's cheese and onion crisps.
Brilliant Li. You really do know your onions. And now I might win a holiday.
But but, that's great but who are you going to take with you?
Probably my girlfriend.
Oh right. I didn't want to go with you anyway. You have got onion breath.
Oh dear. Join us again soon for another programme about everyday English sayings.
Bye.
Bye.
