Daily English Pod
I’m Jale, an English teacher and graduate in Applied Linguistics from Canada. From Monday to Friday, I share short, practical educational podcasts. On Saturdays, you’ll hear an engaging story, and on Sundays, we explore artistic topics. Like a real magazine, these podcasts cover current issues, culture, society, and history in clear, easy-to-understand English. If you’re interested in learning English and understanding the world around you, this podcast is for you. With me, you’ll not only practice English but also gain a broader perspective on the world.

Full of it
If someone is full of it, it means they are not telling the truth, exaggerating, or just talking nonsense.
Examples:
1- She said she could run a marathon without training—yeah, she’s full of it.
2- Politicians can sound full of it when they make too many empty promises.
Hello and welcome back to Daily English! Today’s expression is very informal and very useful: “full of it.”
Repetition
Say it with me: full of it. One more time: full of it.
– Imagine someone bragging about how they once met three Hollywood stars in one day. But you know it’s not true. You think, “He’s full of it.”
– A kid promises they’ll do all their homework and chores tomorrow—but they never do. You say, “You’re full of it.”
– A politician makes a long speech about helping people, but never takes action. Many listeners say, “He’s full of it.”

Fun Note
This is a very informal and a little rude expression. People usually use it with friends or when they’re annoyed—not in polite situations.
Personal Question
So, what about you? Have you ever listened to someone and thought, “Wow, this person is really full of it”?
