0:00.0	Hello everybody. My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
0:11.0	Come on, let's master English.
0:14.5	Hello everybody. Welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast.
0:26.7	Oh, today we have a great idiom. Yeah, it's about cows.
0:34.7	Oh, by the way, did you see my new newsletter? Yeah. I got attacked by a cow. I'm serious.
0:40.2	Yeah, a cow attacked me. The story is in my newsletter. If you missed my newsletter, sign up. Let's MasterEnglish.com. It's free. All right. Today's expression is

2:22.8	Check out the dialogue.
2:25.7	Do I look fat in these jeans?
