Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to easy English expressions.

Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression.

Today's expression is funny.

Sneak attack. Sneak attack. S-N-E-A-K. A-T-T-A-C-K. A-T-A-C-K. Now, this expression can be very funny,

but it can be really horrible and scary too.

So the idea of a sneak attack is to attack somebody or to scare somebody in a very surprising way.

So the perfect example would be my sister.

When she's drinking milk, I see her drinking milk and I walk behind her very quietly,

closer and closer.

I can hear her drinking milk.

And I get closer and closer and closer.

Closer, closer.

And my sister, her milk goes spraying everywhere.

The milk actually comes out of her nose.

Yes, beautiful.

So funny.

That's a sneak attack.

Yeah.

Like I said, some sneak attacks can be really funny, but this expression actually comes from war.

Yeah, so as you can imagine in war, if you want to defeat your enemy, a surprise attack or a sneak attack can be very effective.

Unfortunately, in war, people die.
