Hello, everybody,

My name is Coach Shane, and welcome to Easy English Expressions. You and me everyday. Come on. Let’s master English.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Daily Easy English expression, the podcast. Today’s podcast is a good one, I like it. “To keep your nose clean”. You’d better keep your nose clean. You had better keep your nose clean. Are you keeping your nose clean? Oh yes, inside your nose, there can be many dirty, nonono. That’s not what this expression means. “To keep your nose clean” means stay out of trouble. Do not do anything wrong. If you are kid, no drinking, no smoking, no loud music. If you’re married person, no looking at other women, no looking at other men. No, you know, no other stuff. Keep your nose clean.

Do you keep your nose clean? I am 47 and I must say my life has been very boring because I really do try to keep my nose clean. Oh, of course, I made some mistakes, but in general, I am embarrassingly clean. I really am. I am not joking. My mom would be proud. But what’s funny is my mom thinks I’m really bad. My mom thinks I did everything wrong in the world. But I did it. I don’t know why my mom thinks that but now I kept my nose clean. I had kept my nose clean. I lived a pretty good life. Nothing too evil. Let’s check out the dialog:

A: Where’s the seminar?

B: In Las Vegas!

A: That’s the City of Sin!

B: Yeah!!

A: Keep your nose clean~

Yes, Las Vegas, United States. It’s the city of entertainments. Casinos, magic shows, singers, gambling, everything you can imagine. Always sunny, Las Vegas can be a very dirty town. It’s the city of sin. That’s its nickname. You know what? Many of you know that when I came back to America, I moved right next to Las Vegas. Why? So I could sin? No, because my mom and dad retired out here. They’re old, they like the hot weather, feel good on their bones. But you know me. I came here. I was a single guy. And I didn’t, believe or not, I never win the casinos. It’s the city of sin. I’d like to do anything or I’d like to stay home. And still, I don’t go to the casinos. I don’t go to the shows. I don’t want to, I don’t need to. I am too old for that stuff. And I know some of you guys: “Oh, come on, Shane, I am 75 years old, and I still love to sin.” Good! Go ahead. This world needs sinners, I guess. And the world needs people like me, too, people who keep their nose clean.

Oh, believe me, I am not judging. If you like to keep your nose dirty? We don’t say that. But if you like to do terrible thing, go ahead, just don’t hurt anybody. You can do whatever you want. I don’t care, but don’t hurt anybody. That’s my philosophy. Me? It’s my choice. I’d like to keep my nose clean. I sleep better at night. I don’t need to worry about the next time. Many things that I don’t need to worry about. So, what about you? Do you keep your nose clean? Or sometimes, do you like to sin a little? Oh, by the way, sin, everybody, S-I-N. You need to know that expression. If you sin, you’ll not keep your nose clean. If you’re keeping your nose clean, you’re not sinning, okay? That’s the expression. Join two more times. Please practice with your friend. I want to say thank you, everybody, for your support. I’ll be introducing my patrons, my sponsors this week. So, please hold on. Once again, thank you and have a great day. And together, let’s master English.
