Hello and welcome back to Catchword, which is our vocabulary series for intermediate and above English learners that teaches you idiom slang, phrasal verbs and more. And our goal here at Catchword is to help your speaking sound more natural and to allow you to understand the English that you hear around you when you're speaking with native
speakers or you're watching a TV series or something like this. My name is Andrew, of course, and I'm going to be joined here by my co-host Indiana in just a second. And today we are going to introduce and teach you about some new slang and some internet
memes that are related to the country of China. And actually, this is going to be a little bit of a different style of episode because usually in catch word here, what we do is we introduce some new vocabulary to you and then we give you some usage examples and teach you how to use it in your English speaking.
