AEE 2486: Don’t Sleep on This Trendy New English Slang

In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Aubrey and Lindsay explore the dual meanings of the phrase "sleep on it," contrasting its traditional use in business English—to delay a decision for further consideration—with its newer, slang meaning: "don't overlook or miss out on something." They discuss the nuances of the slang term "fire," meaning something is amazing, and provide examples of how to use these phrases in everyday conversations. The hosts role-play a scenario to illustrate the use of the new slang and direct listeners to a related Business English episode. They emphasize that while slang can be fun and create connection, it's important to be aware of the context and audience when using it.
