Busted (adjective/verb) If you bust someone, you’ve caught them doing something they shouldn’t be doing/saying/hiding. The police bust people every day translates to they catch all the bad guys and charge them or put them in prison.
Example 1)
“Did you hear that Sam got busted speeding?”
“No, but I’m not surprised. I’m always telling him he needs to drive slower!”
Example 2)
“There were two kids who were busted cheating in their exams!”
“Really? What happened?”
To have a blast (verb) The normal definition of the word blast refers to a big explosion and it’s a phrase that we could often see or hear in the news for example Two men have been seriously injured and taken to hospital from a suspected bomb blast. But if you use this among your friends, it’s a lot more positive and means that something is great or you had an amazing and fun time.
Example 1)
“How was the Jack Johnson concert?”
“It was awesome. Everyone had a blast.”
“Even John?”
“Yeah even John. He was even dancing!”
“Wow, it must’ve been good!”
Example 2)
“Thanks for inviting me to your party last night, I had a blast.”
“Thanks for coming and I’m glad you enjoyed it.”
To have a crush (on somebody) (verb) To have a crush on somebody is a great feeling and it means that you’re attracted to somebody and would like them to be more than just your friend. And if somebody has a crush on you, well it’s the same – they like you in a more intimate way.
Example 1)
“I have the biggest crush on Simon. He’s so cute!”
“Isn’t he dating Jenny Parkes?”
“No, not anymore, apparently they broke up a few weeks ago!”
“Cool!”
Instead of saying have a crush you can also just say crushing on – it means the same thing but it’s usually used among the younger generation and teenagers.
Example 2)
“Oooh, you’re so crushing on Michael right now!”
“I am not! We’re just friends!”
“Liar! I can tell you like him.”
“Is it that obvious?”
