Summary

Today’s expression and dialog: a bad omen (good omens, too!) It’s 11 at night and still 40 out. This is a bad omen. I know. We’re gonna die in this heat. Thank god we have A/C. Do you ever get the FEELING something bad OR good is going to happen? Do you ever get a signal? A sign? I think in every country/culture, there are different "signals" or "signs" that tell us something GOOD is going to happen or something BAD is going to happen! Do you believe in that stuff? I know many of you do NOT!! But whether you believe in those things or not, we can still learn a GREAT expression we use in these situations! Have a SUPER FRIDAY!!

0:33.6	Today we have a good expression.
0:37.4	It is a bad omen. A bad omen. B-A-D. Bad. Not good. Omen. A bad omen. A bad omen means a bad sign or a bad
