In today's episode...
Happy Sunday, you guys! Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!
Today’s expression is “over my dead body”.
No, I am not going to die! No one’s going to die, no worries.
This expression is widely used in English literature, as its meaning connotes a very strong “NO”!
As usual, we will break down the meaning of the words in the expression. I will also give example situations where you can use the expression “over my dead body”.
I will also answer a question from IG follower the.chileno.way who asks “Do you say ‘sit at a computer’ or ‘sit on a computer’?”
And finally, don’t forget to download this episode’s FREE worksheet and listen to a clip from the Australian movie Brothers Nest. Remember, you can play back the audio so you can listen to the dialogue!
