Hello and welcome to the English we speak. I'm Fay Faye.

And I'm Roy.

I'm glad you're here Faye, I'm Roy. I'm glad you're here, Faye. I'm really upset. Rob just sent me an email saying

thanks for all my hard work and that I was a goat. I think that email was intended for me, for I am the goat.

It makes me very happy when people call me that.

You like being called a goat? No Roy. Goat is an acronym for the

greatest of all time. That's why that email was meant for me.

Ah, that makes more sense about why Rob would call me a goat.

Because I did bake him over a thousand biscuits. Well I'll buy him 2,000

biscuits from the shop and then we'll see who Rob thinks is the goat. Clearly

everyone thinks is me. You're very competitive, Faye,

plus I baked, not bought the biscuits.

Let's calm down while we listen to some examples.

That's Calm down while we listen to some examples. That footballer is truly amazing.

Every ball she touches ends in a goal.

She's the goat.

Have you seen the new film in the Pelican series? The Special effects, story and

acting are all perfect. It's the goat. My friend said that Ed Shee-Sheron is the goat, but I'm not sure I agree. He's not my favorite artist.

This is the English we speak from BBC Learning English and we are talking about the expression

Goat. Goat is short for greatest of all time and is used to talk about things or people that we think are the best.
