Learn the English Phrases "to shoot for" and "Oh, shoot!"

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases "to shoot for" and "Oh, shoot!" TRANSCRIPT: In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to shoot for. When you shoot for something, it means you're planning to do that. If you were to ask me, Bob, how many videos, how many English lessons are you going to put out on this channel? I'm going to shoot for one per week. I'm going to try and put out one video per week. I know in the past, I was putting out two per week, but I feel like as I relaunch this channel, I think I'm going to shoot for one English lesson per week. And I will probably shoot for putting that English lesson out on Wednesdays. So it's Tuesday right now, if you haven't figured it out. So when you shoot for something, it means you plan on doing that. The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase oh, shoot. And this is just a really nice way of saying a different word so that you don't say that word, which is kind of a curse word or swear word. When you say oh, shoot, it's an exclamation that you make when something goes wrong. If I dropped this paper, I'd be like, oh, shoot. But if I wanted to say something a little bit more crude, if, I wanted to use a swear word, I would use the word that starts with the same two letters and ends with the same letter, but instead of two O's, it has an I in the middle. And I think you know what I'm talking about. It's not a super, like, bad swear word, but it is a swear word. So. So when you say oh, shoot, it simply means, something just went wrong. So to review, when you shoot for something, it means you are aiming for that, you are trying to accomplish that. And when you say oh, shoot, it's the same as saying oh, sh. Maybe I'll just switch and go to a comment from a previous video instead of actually saying that word. Let me get the comment out. This comment is from Judit or Aerosmith77. It was a really good start with two videos. Do I remember well, your videos were cut for 4 minutes and 8 seconds. This video lasted 4 minutes and 18 seconds. Is it planned this way also? Thank you for the video and my response. I used to stop at exactly four minutes, but now I tend to go over a bit if I go too long the transcript doesn't fit in the description box below the video. There is a 5,000 character limit, so I shoot for four minutes. So thanks, Judit. Thanks, Aerosmith77 for that comment. So, yes, if I talk for too long or if I talk too fast, then, the transcript doesn't fit in the description below the video. So I usually try to aim for about four minutes, because that's kind of like the sweet spot. I guess I say about 5,000 letters or that many words. Hard to kind of explain this. I say about 5,000 letters in about four minutes. This is getting boring. I should show you something exciting. Let me switch quickly and say, here is a camper van, or more of a camper. I guess it's a little big to be called a camper van. I'm not sure what this is doing in my local town. It is not camping season. I also think there's a dog inside, so I'm not going to go close to that at all. If you remember, a few years ago, I had a bad experience with two dogs running out, and, they were pretty vicious. Not from a camper, but, while I was walking down the road. But, I'm not sure what that's doing out and about. Oh, like, I got 30 seconds left. I have to be careful here. I... I'm not sure what that's doing out and about in February, but, as you can see, I have no winter hat and no gloves because I think it might actually be one degree now, I thought earlier it was minus two or minus one, but, man, it feels a lot warmer than that. So, anyways, thanks for watching this short English lesson, and I'll have another one ready for you, in a week.
