To be hooked on something (verb) If you’re hooked on something or just hooked, it means that you’re addicted to something and you can’t get enough. You can be hooked on chocolate, basketball, a new TV show or something more dangerous like smoking (which is not cool by the way!)
Example 1)
“What did you think about the new sitcom with James Franco?”
“Loved it. I’m hooked already!”
Example 2)
“I miss George!”
Looker (noun) If somebody says that you’re a looker, you should definitely be flattered – they are paying you the ultimate compliment and saying that they think you’re good looking. They’ll probably never say it to your face but you could hear it from someone else.
Example 1)
“That Marni girl is a real looker don’t you think?”
“She’s a nice girl but not my type!”
Example 2)
“Have you seen the new history professor yet?”
“No, but I hear he’s a real looker!”
“You hear right. He is!”
To be in (adjective) You probably already know the meaning of in as a preposition. It’s one of the first things you probably learned in your English class e.g. the boy’s in the house, my pencil is in my pencil case. But it can be used to mean something completely different – it means to be in fashion or trending at the moment. Things that are in at the moment may not be in in a month – why? Because trends always change!
Example 1)
“Jordan, why do you keep listening to that music? It’s awful!”
“Mom, you don’t know anything. It’s the in thing now!”
Example 2)
“So, what’s in at the moment?”
“Seriously Dad?”
“Yeah, come on I wanna know what’s cool and what’s not!”
