Hi Feifei, what are you up to?

Hi Neil. Oh, I’m just… ironing a few clothes.

That’s a big pile of clothes.

I’m going on holiday! Everything has to be neat and clean.

You’re even ironing your shorts!

Nothing like perfectly ironed shorts.

Nah, that’s long, Feifei!

They’re shorts – not long!

Haha – very funny. You know what I mean.


Long is British street slang which we use to talk about a task which is boring and not really worth it.

Exactly. Ironing is long. It’s dull and takes forever.

That’s because you do it all wrong. Here, let me show you, while we play these examples.

I can’t believe you’re cleaning the whole house. That’s long, bro. Come out and enjoy the sun.


Why don’t you stick with your diet?

Dieting is long. I just eat what I want and go to the gym instead.

You know, Feifei, you’re right. Ironing isn’t so bad.

Just you wait. You’ll be ironing your socks before you know it.

So, where are you off to on holiday?

I’m travelling around the world for five months!

Wow, five months! That’s long.


Aha – but do you mean long – as in boring?

Of course not… Five months is a long holiday.Have a great trip!

You can do all my ironing when I get back.

So long, Feifei.Bye!

Bye.
