This is the English we Speak and I'm Fei Fei.
Joining me is Neil.
Hello.
Hey, Neil.
How was your night out at the new restaurant?
It was ok.
Just ok?
The food was average, the service was standard.
Neil, there's no pleasing you.
Keep your voice down, Fei Fei.
It was nothing to shout about.
It was nothing to shout about.
Would you normally shout about a good restaurant?
Of course not.
But when something is nothing to shout about, it means it's nothing special, it's average or unremarkable.
So you wouldn't make an effort to tell anyone about it.
So basically you mean your experience was disappointing?
