1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Today, I affed up believing emergency cock was a real expression. 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: It isn't. English is not my first language, and I 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: was living in the anglophone province where I was putting 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: my English to good use while learning expressions like it's 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 1: a piece of cake and hold your horses, since expressions 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: are not always obvious true facts. One day on this topic, 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: my coworkers convinced me that the expression emergency cock meant 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: that you save something for an emergency, like stashing chocolate 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: in your desk for a major craving, or keeping an 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: umbrella in your car just in case it rains. Good 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: old emergency cock. Yeah, you gotta get that emergency cock in. 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: There might be a tight squeeze, but you can make 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: it work. I thought it made sense and didn't think 14 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: anything of it, so I began to use this expression 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: in my daily life. Oh man, dude, I need to 16 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: bring this microphone as my emergency cock. Talk about slab 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: on a knob, slab that knob. One occasion I remember 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: was going on this date during a hike and pulling 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: out a thin tubular flashlight and when my date asked 20 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: me what I and when my date asked me what 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: it was for I mentioned it was my emergency cock. 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: They didn't say anything about it and blushed, and the 23 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: date ended awkwardly. The worst occurrence was during a meeting 24 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: with a client. I had mentioned that it would be 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: a good idea to purchase additional support on their website 26 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: package as their emergency cock. Ah. The client got me 27 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: to repeat it for a few times. Obviously confused and 28 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: a bit uncomfortable, my coworkers were there. They got real 29 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: quiet and took me aside after the meeting to let 30 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: me know that they had lied about the expression that 31 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: I had been using for a full year and still 32 00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: am beyond embarrassed. Oh, I'm so sorry. Yeah, dude, you 33 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: gotta get that dictionary and use it as your emergency cock. Yeah. 34 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: Take in case you need an emergency dick dictionary. Oh,
