Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.
My name is Jack, and I'm one of the hosts of the podcast.
I'm here with my co host, Sochil, and Sochil.
Today's idiom is knock it off.
And what does that mean to, if you say to somebody, knock it off, knock it off.
Knock it off means basically, stop what you're doing.
And it's usually used when someone is doing something really annoying.
So back when I used to teach in Korea, let's say that I'm trying to teach the class, and one of the kids decides that he's gonna start making a beat on his desk with his pencil case or whatever, and he's like, and I'm like, trying to talk over this kid, be like, hey, knock it off.
And it usually comes after you've politely asked a few times, like, hey, can you stop that?
Hey, you're interrupting the class.
And then on third or fourth time, you see red, which is another idiom, which means you got really mad, and you're like, hey, knock it off.
You know?
Yeah, yeah.
It's not rude.
It's just like, there are different, there are different degrees of seriousness.
So you start with, please stop.
Please don't do that.
