Hello and welcome to Daily English! today’s word is "lame." Once again: lame Can you guess what it means?

1. You’re at a party, and the music is boring, nobody is dancing, and everyone is just staring at their phones. You whisper to your friend, "This party is so lame."
2. Your classmate forgets to do his homework, and when the teacher asks why, he says, "Uh… my dog ate it." The teacher rolls her eyes and says, "That excuse is so lame."

What do you think "lame" means?"Lame" is a slang word that means boring, unexciting, or just not cool.

It can describe an event, a joke, an excuse, a person’s behavior, or even something outdated. It originally meant physically weak or disabled, but today, people mostly use it to talk about things that are disappointing, uncool, or unimpressive.

Examples:
"The concert was so lame—the singer barely even moved on stage!"

"He said he couldn't come because he had to wash his hair. What a lame excuse!"

"I tried to be funny, but my joke was so lame that nobody laughed

"I bought a cool Halloween costume, but my friend just wore jeans and a T-shirt and said he was ‘a regular guy.’ So lame!"

What’s the lamest thing you’ve ever experienced? Maybe a party, a joke, or an excuse someone gave you? Share your stories—I’d love to hear them!
