Hello everybody. My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions. Come on, let's master English.

Hello everybody. Welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast. Today we have an excellent expression, pear-shaped,

and I'm going to give you two different definitions.

By the way, go here, www.

Check it out.

Okay, pear-shaped. Now, pear-shaped, P-E-A-R-D-S-H-A-P-E-D. Well, first of all, we need to know what a

pear is. P-E-A-R. It's a fruit. It's a fruit. And in America, when we say pear, we imagine the fruit that is round, but not completely round.

Actually, half of it is kind of narrow and then it gets round.

You can go to Google images and type pair, P-E-A-R. They're usually green,

sometimes yellow and orange too. And also you can imagine a light bulb, you know, for a lamp, a light

bulb. That's the idea.

That's the shape of a pair.

Okay.

So if we describe a person as pair-shaped, it means their upper body is thin, looks okay.

But right at the butt, right at the lower waist, suddenly, it gets really, really, really, really big.

It's an unhealthy body shape, and a lot of people do have this body shape, and it's probably very troubling for them a pear-shaped body it's actually

not that healthy if you have a pear-shaped body i hope that you are doing your best to be healthy

maybe exercise maybe change your food i don't know right now I'm starting to develop a pear-shaped body.

I need to exercise more. I'm not joking. Yeah, I need to exercise more. So I've decided I have to do

more sweating and more sit-ups, a pear-shaped body. But there's another definition, and we use the word, the verb, go with the other definition.

So to go pear-shaped, that's something else.
