Transcript:

One does not simply listen to podcasts without knowing the Vocab man.

Baromir from the Lords of the rings movie: "One does not simply walk into Mordor".

Today we are going to take a closer look at "one does not" or "one does not simply". I am the Vocab man and hopefully, we are going to learn a bunch of things. Alluding to (referring to) a quote from a Lord of the rings movie.

One does not simply is the catch phrase of popular memes that comment on humerous complex, challenging or aggravating (annoying, provoking) experiences or situations.

One does not put sugar in green tea. I know I said I'm aware of this custom, but I really liked my tea. Sweet in response. He gave me an even more courteous (polite, respectful) version of the same explanation. One does not put sugar in green tea. I understand. I said that the Japanese do not put sugar in their green tea, but I'd like to put some sugar in my green tea.

One does not listen to the Vocab Man without learning something. Do you know what alluding or to allude (to refer to) means? I mentioned it in the beginning of the podcast:

Alluding to a quote from a Lord of the rings movie (= flick) .
One does not simply is the catchphrase of popular memes (an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations) for to allude is to refer to, or to imply or to mention. And. The other word was "catchphrase". I catch phrase is a well-known sentence or phrase, especially one that is associated (connected with something else) with a particular famous person.

One does not use fitting room two when one is popping one's cherry. (Quote from Kingsman)

Again, this time I'm going to make a transcript for this episode. So for those who didn't catch every word, you can simply read along while listening to the Vocab Man. Bye.

I don't know how things are in that third rate novel of yours, but where I come from, one does not go around ravaging (to cause severe and extensive damage) libraries. (Quote from Inkheart 2008)
And by the way to ravage means something like to cause severe and extensive damage to like the hurricane ravaged southern, Florida. Oh my gosh. The last two words are really difficult to pronounce correctly.
