Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to fraseal
verbs in a minute from Happy English. I'm here every
Friday with a quick one point lesson to help you
learn a new phraseal verb and sound more natural when
you speak. By the way, if you want to see
the video version of this lesson, just look for Happy
English podcast on YouTube. Today's phrasal verb is chew out.
When you choose someone out, it means you scold them strongly,
usually because they did something wrong or made a big mistake.
It's a very informal, very American way to say tell
someone off. Like yesterday in the office, my manager chewed
out the team because the report wasn't finished on time,
and my friend Olivia got chewed out by her mom
for coming home too late. I got chewed out once
I forgot to reply to an important email and the
client was not happy. And here's a pronunciation tip. Chewout
sounds like chew out the w sound in chew links
without chew out. So how about you. Has anyone ever
chewed you out or maybe you had to chew someone
out recently. Let me know in the comments and remember

thanks for listening, and until next time, keep learning and
