Dunno (verb) Simply speaking, dunno means ‘I don’t know’. It’s a quicker and lazier way of saying it and it’s very popular among young people. However, do be careful who you say this to – if you say it to someone in a higher position than you it could come across as rude. So to play it safe just use it around people your own age or younger.
Example 1)
“Where’s Jane? She’s supposed to be here by now.”
“Dunno, she’s always late!”
Example 2)
“What are you doing for Spring Break?”
“Dunno, I was thinking Mexico again. You?”
“Dunno yet!”
Loser (noun) In a game we have winners and we have losers, but if your friend says a person is a loser, it doesn’t mean they lost a game or a competition it means that they don’t like him or her because of their actions and behavior.
Example 1)
“Ray is such a loser for breaking up with Rebecca.”
“Yeah, I know, he’s never going to find a girl as good as her!”
Example 2)
“Victor’s turning into a real loser these days.”
“Why?”
“I dunno but he’s turned really arrogant since he’s gone to college!”
Rip off (noun) To be ripped off (verb) If you find a simple t-shirt and the price tag says $80 on it, you’d be shocked, right? That t-shirt is a complete rip off which means that it is way too expensive for what it is. And if a person rips you off they’re cheating you out of money and charging you a lot more than you should be paying for example: tourists often get ripped off by locals because the locals want to make money and the tourists have no idea. Example 1)
“I’m not going to the J-Lo concert anymore.”
“Why not?”a
“The tickets are way too expensive. They’re $250 each.”
“Oooh, that’s such a rip off! Who can afford that these days?”
Example 2)
“How much did you buy your wheels for bro?”
“$2000!”
“Dude, you were so ripped off. This car’s worth only half of that!”
