In Hollywood, we all think we are these
wise advice givers and most of us have no education whatsoever. Actors can become governors, pundits, or even high
ranking officials in religions made up
sixty years ago.
* whatsoever:
at all
ex> The car had no gasoline whatsoever,
so we had to walk to the next town.
ex> The small dog was tied to a tree
by his mean owner had had no food whatsoever.
* make
up: create
ex> The girl made up a fake
name and number when the creepy guy asked her out.
You are better educated and you are
going to go out into the world and people are going to listen to what you say,
whether you are good or evil, and that probably scares you because some of you
look really young. And I’m afraid a couple of you probably are evil. That’s
just the odds.
* the
odds: the chances
= the probability; the likelihood
ex> What are the odds of us
running into each other like this?
ex> According to polls, the odds
are pretty slim that Senator Duncan will get reelected.
Note> If you are “at odds” with
someone, you disagree with that person.
So please, just try to be the kind of
people that give advice to celebrities, not
the other way around.
* not
the other way around: not the opposite
ex> Germany invaded Poland in 1939, not
the other way around.
You are entering a profession where, no matter how bad the crime or the
criminal, you have to defend the alleged perpetrator.
* no
matter how: regardless of the situation
ex> No matter how difficult
the situation was, Francis never gave up hope that he would succeed.
