Report mistakesRIDERS= Cyclists.
SAMPLE= Demonstration.
STUNTMAN= A man who substitutes for a performer in scenes requiring physical daring or involving physical risk.
WHISKEY/ WHAT/WHY= Many years ago, the H in the interrogative WH-words was pronounced (what /hwɒt/ , when /hwen/ , why /hwaɪ/ , etc.). It was soon lost in America and, later, in England and now nobody pronounces it anymore. So instead of /hw/ we say /w/ . As a hypercorrection, he pronounces an H in “Whiskey” (that also starts with WH-). And as a stupidity, he even pronounces an H in “Will” ( /hwɪl/ ).
CREW MEMBER= A member of a team.
TO PARTY= To have fun going to parties, bars, discos, etc.
RELAX= Don’t worry.
CRUNCHES= A sit-up exercise to strengthen abdominal muscles.
