Lesson
Hey guys,
I just finished watching a comedy movie and there were a lot of cool phrases in there. One of the phrases was "out of your league".
It's an awesome phrase. Let me explain a bit about it first.
A "league" is usually for sports. Top level athletes play in the best leagues. It's where all the money is and the best players are. If you are a "normal" person and want to play sports, you will play in some kind of "pick up" or fun league. Of course most people couldn't play in a professional football league for example.
The interesting thing is that we use this phrase in the dating world. If someone is "out of your league" it means that they are "too good" or "too hard to get" for you.
For example, it would be very difficult for an average guy to date the world's most beautiful and famous model or actress.
We can say, "That girl is way out of his league". Even though these girls aren't really in "leagues" it's pretty easy to understand. Everyone has a certain "value" in the dating world. It's a competitive world. If someone is really funny or nice or something, it could be possible to date someone "out of their league" but it's difficult.
Thanks for following the course guys. It's great, especially all your thoughtful comments and "like" support. Check out day one of my Spoken English course online It's free and I think you'll like it.
