buds:friends,short for buddies(朋友,还记得以前学的dude, fam, bro吗?

chill out:to relax, to stop worrying(放松,别担心,别紧张,这个短语是不是很眼熟?没错,以前讲过 Just chilling. 也是 放松 的意思。比如你朋友说他上课被老师叫起来,但是不知道怎么回答问题,你就说:Chill out. It happens. 前面这句话特别实用,表示 总会发生,世事无常,难以避免

get busted:to get in trouble for doing something that is not allowed(因为干了不被允许的事儿陷入了麻烦,记得以前学过一个 bust one's ass 吗?意思是 辛苦地干,努力地干,感受一下 bust 的含义吧。比如有个同学考试作弊,就说:He got busted for cheating and was expelled.)

get baked/stoned:to get high from smoking a lot of marijuana(吸大麻吸嗨了,大麻这个词,可以是 marijuana, pot, joint, weed,了解一下就好,这样看美剧就方便多了

squad:group of friends(一堆朋友,朋友们比如你的同事想让你帮他宣传点儿东西,就说:Tell your squad that there's a new shopping mall with freebies.

get one's panties in a bunch:to become upset over a small matter, to overreact(反应过激,大惊小怪,小题大做,比如你的朋友因为把书弄丢了而唉声叹气,你就说:It's just a book. No need to get your panties in a bunch! Just buy another! 这个短语的来源很有意思,附一张图,如果你想知道可以记下来百度搜一下

rat someone out:to inform an authority figure of one's bad or illegal behavior(打某人小报告,rat 除了是 老鼠 之外,还有 叛徒,告密者 的意思,当动词就成了 背叛,告密,这样这个短语是不是好记多了呢?比如你朋友抄了你的作业,就和你说:The teacher wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't rat me out!
