Learn the English Phrases A SLAP ON THE WRIST and A SLAP IN THE FACE

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrase A SLAP ON THE WRIST and A SLAP IN THE FACE In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, "a slap on the wrist." When we say something is a slap on the wrist, it means someone was punished or disciplined for something, but the punishment or discipline was very minor. Here's a great example. Maybe someone on a sports team you like did something they weren't supposed to in a game, and so they fined the player $10,000. Sorry, it's a little loud here 'cause I'm in town. Maybe that player makes a million dollars a year. So a $10,000 fine would just be a slap on the wrist. So, basically, maybe the player did something in a game or outside of the game that they weren't supposed to do. And so they were given a really small fine and it was just a slap on the wrist.

Now this is completely different. A slap in the face is an insult. Maybe at work, you and another person both want the same promotion. Maybe you've been at the job for 20 years and you've worked really hard and you think you deserve it. And the other person has worked there for 15 years and they worked really hard and they think they deserve it. And then they give the promotion to the boss's son. That would be a slap in the face. That would be a bit of an insult because both of you were probably way more qualified than the boss's son. So, to review, a slap on the wrist is when you are disciplined for something and it's a very minor discipline compared to what you did. And then a slap in the face is basically when a situation is such that it's insulting, that you feel insulted by what has happened. But, hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. Sorry, I'm a little distracted with all the traffic, but I'm sure you're enjoying it. We'll take a little walk in a bit and you'll see some campers. This is from Aquiles, "Nice video, teacher Bob. Here in Mexico, spring break just began, so I'm going to take a break from English the next two weeks. See you later, everyone. Take care." And my response was, "I hope you have a nice break. Enjoy it, I'm sure it will go fast." So thanks, Aquiles, for that comment. Yes, breaks are always nice, aren't they? It's nice. We just actually had our spring break a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure I actually mentioned that on any of my videos, but I did have a week off from work, and it was very, very enjoyable. So Aquiles, I hope you have a good break, as well. Anyways, I'm out here by this camper van place where you can buy basically camper trailers and camper vans and all sorts of campers that you can use, if you go camping. Now, Jen and I actually don't own one of these. We will probably never own one of these and we usually don't go camping. I think you can probably guess why. There are two reasons why we do not camp. Number one, we already live on a beautiful property. We live on a farm. We have lots of trees, and we have a river, and it's just very peaceful. So when I go to a campground, it actually seems a little bit crowded and it seems noisy. So the place where I live is already quite nice and quite peaceful. The other reason is because we grow flowers. Here's someone coming on their super fast car. As the weather gets nicer, people take their old cars out because in Canada a lot of people with really nice old cars, they store them in the winter. So anyways, we live on a flower farm. So we're busy. We have work to do. There are things that we need to get done. And so we do not camp. Let's spin around and have a look once more though. I know there are a lot of people that enjoy these. But Jen and I, it's just not for us. Anyways, see in a couple days with another short lesson.
