Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. Today I’ll be commenting on an article titled: “Why are people on TikTok asking men how often they think about the Roman Empire?” published on CBSNews. Don’t hesitate to participate in the discussion if you wish. Enjoy.

Useful vocabulary:
An enthusiast
To go viral
Modern-days sewage system
To popularize
An Aqueduct
To rise to power
A spectacular collapse
To expand
A political / military system
An emblematic movie
To be portrayed (in TV shows or movies)


Let's check out the news

New TikTok trend: How often do you think about the Roman Empire?

Very few textbooks teach 'euphemisms', but they're an essential part of English life. An euphemism is a mild or indirect word / expression that takes the place of something that is considered too blunt when referring to something embarrassing. For example, the phrase 'a correctional facility' is an idiom that we use instead of the word 'prison'. Or we say that a person is 'big boned', instead of the word 'fat'. So the next time you hear somebody saying that they have to 'powder their nose', or you learn that someone has a 'negative cash flow', use this podcast to know exactly what they mean. 
* By the way, have you ever wondered where the expression 'a bucket list' comes from? Well it comes from the euphemism 'to kick the bucket', which means 'to die'. Your bucket list is the list of all the things you want to do before you 'kick the bucket'. On my bucket list is to learn how to play the guitar. What's on yours?

Many paintings and statues are of nudes - people with no clothes on.
So why did they start covering their naughty bits with fig leaves, which is a really BAD idea?
("Naughty bits" - I will leave you to your imagination as to what they are. There are also hundreds of words to describe them, from biological terms to very weird slang expressions!)
