You’re listening to British Council’s English Online and I’m Nina. Today on Language Snacks we take a look at the expression to pull someone’s leg.
Let’s listen to the dialogue.
A: I met David Beckham in a pub last night and he bought me a drink.
B: Are you pulling my leg?
I’ve noticed that the British people I work with are always joking and teasing each other. If you tell someone something that is not true as a way of joking with them, then you are said to be pulling their leg.
Anyway, I have to go now I have a date with David Beckham this evening….nahh …just pulling your leg!
And that’s it for now – join us again for some more Language Snacks. You’ve been listening to English Online – the podcast for English learners in China.
