  What do I have for you now?

• 00:44

  Well, in this particular podcast, we're going to look at idioms connected with colour.

• 00:50

  OK, so I'll give you the idiom and then I'll give you an example.

• 00:54

  Okay so first black market so when we get something on the black market so use the preposition on the black market it's usually something we get a little bit illegal and probably cheaper although maybe not cheaper than we would get it in the shop or in fact when we buy it we might not be able to get it in the shop at all and therefore we have to pay a lot of money

• 01:16

  because it's illegal and when we go to somebody who sells it on the black market we have to be careful who we tell and how we buy it so you know

• 01:26

  if somebody goes out and they buy the latest copy of some movie that was produced and it hasn't been released yet and somebody says,

• 01:36

  well, where did you get that?

• 01:37

  I said, oh, I got it on the black market.

• 01:39

  Some guy burned a copy of me.

• 01:41

  He said, but that's illegal.

• 01:43

  It's OK.

• 01:44

  I paid a good price.
