  • The English we speak from bbclearningenglish.com hello and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • With me, Fei Fei and me, Roy.

  • We may sound a little different.

  • That's because we're not able to record in our normal studios during the coronavirus outbreak.

  • In this program, we have a word that is used to say when someone is upset over something minor or trivial.

  • Speaking of which, you got really upset when the vending machine didn't have any of those sweets you liked this morning.

  • I really like unicorn truffles.

  • Oh, you have no idea how good they are.

  • It ruined my day.

  • Everyone likes unicorn truffles.

  • But there's no need to get overly upset about it.

  • They're just sweets.

  • You were so salty this morning.

  • What do you mean salty?

  • You mean I was sweaty?

  • I sweat when I get stressed?

  • No, Roy.

  • Salty means you got upset over nothing.
