Ticky-Tacky. EP 137
from Crosby’s 9
English from all angles! Here, Drew discusses the expression “ticky-tacky,” which refers to cheap, low-quality construction and/or building materials often used in mass-production. A ticky-tacky house is a house built with inferior materials and/or workmanship and many were built after World War II in the United States. Does shoddy workmanship bother you? Some people really can’t stand it. What about you? (Clue: shoddy = inferior). Drew delves into this topic in this episode, so tune in and not only practice your English, but IMPROVE your English! You’ll also review the very useful modal verb “might.”
