| [00:00.34] | Hi, I'm Helen, and welcome to The English We Speak. Sorry, I'll be with you in a minute, Chris. I'm just on the phone to Rob. |
| [00:07.70] | Sure. |
| [00:08.94] | Rob, do you need me to come and record with you in the studio this afternoon? |
| [00:12.03] | No, don't worry. I've got Neil coming over to record with me.Everything's hunky-dory. |
| [00:18.00] | Everything's what? |
| [00:19.54] | Gotta go. Speak to you later, bye. |
| [00:21.48] | OK, b-, oh, he hung up. |
| [00:25.38] | Having a busy day, Helen? |
| [00:27.17] | Yes, it's been so busy. I've got to move all these boxes. How's your day going? |
| [00:32.99] | No problems really. I've finished my script and I've already recorded another programme with Rosie. I'm hunky-dory. |
| [00:40.11] | Hunky-dory? That's what Rob just said to me. Neither of you is very hunky though. |
| [00:46.48] | What?! Well, hunky means muscular doesn't it? Well yes, hunky is a slang word for describing someone who is muscular. |
| [00:54.99] | So, you're not telling the truth when you say, I'm hunky… Dory. My name is not Dory though. Why do you call me that? |
| [01:03.23] | I wasn't lying and saying "I'm hunky", and I wasn't calling you "Dory" either. The phrase hunky-dory doesn't have anything to do with being muscular. It's an informal way of saying something's fine or satisfactory. |
| [01:17.89] | Ohhhh. It's a bit of a strange phrase though. Yes, it is. No one really knows where it comes from, other than it's believed to be an American phrase. I see. So how can you use it? |
| [01:31.03] | Well, here are some examples. |
| [01:33.02] | I was really worried I'd lost her, but everything's hunky-dory now. She was waiting for me by the car. |
| [01:39.64] | Our washing machine broke last night. An engineer is coming to take a look at it today, so it should be hunky-dory soon. |
| [01:47.40] | So you can use hunky-dory as an informal way to say that a situation is fine. |
| [01:53.67] | Now I understand. Well, sadly nothing is hunky-dory for me. I've got all these boxes to move. |
| [02:02.73] | Is that why you invited me here? |
| [02:05.07] | Maybe? |
| [02:06.81] | Hmm right then, let's get on with it. Right, where do you want them? Just over there, thanks. |
| [02:15.07] | OK. Haha. My work will soon be done. |
