<> - Glutton for punishment
Sam : Hey, since when does Cody give the weekly update?
Anna : Since he asked if he could.
Sam : Why would he do that? Is he a glutton for punishment or something?
Anna : No, I think it’s more that he’s a glory hound.
Sam : Whatever floats his boat, I guess.
Anna : Uh oh, Cody better have all his ducks in a row today.
Sam : Why?
Anna : Because today is NOT the day to blow it. Mr. Woolery’s boss from corporate is here too. See? Over there.

고생을 사서 해
Sam : 아니, 언제부터 Cody가 주간 보고를 하는 거죠?
Anna : 자기가 해도 되냐고 물어본 후로요.
Sam : 왜 자발적으로 하려고 할까? 궂은 일이 그렇게 좋은가?
Anna : 아니, 그보다는 명예욕이 큰 것 같아요.
Sam : 자기 좋을 대로 하는 거지, 뭐.
Anna : 아이고, Cody가 오늘 준비를 잘 했어야 할텐데.
Sam : 왜요?
Ann : 오늘은 실수하면 안 되는 날이거든요. Woolery 씨의 상사가 본사에서 와 있어요. 보여요? 자로 저기.

<> - The 10 most hated English phrases
- Oxford University has announced its choice of 10 English expression!s that are hated the most by people

Oxford University has chosen the 10 most-hated idiomatic expression!s. Oxford researchers said the most hated phrase was “at the end of the day,” while “fairly unique” came in a close second. They said the phrase “at the end of the day” was chosen because it could be summed up in one word: “finally,” while “fairly unique” is an oxymoron. In third place was “ I personally,” which was tautological, while coming in at eighth was “shouldn’t of,” an illiterate rendering of “shouldn’t have.” The ninth most-hated phrase was “24/7.” Although they did not make the top 10, “literally” and “ironically” were also chosen as expression!s that irritated people.

사람들이 싫어하는 10대 영어 표현
옥스퍼드 대학교에서 사람들이 가장 싫어하는 영어표현 10가지를 선정했다. 옥스퍼드 연구진은 1위로 at the end of day를 꼽았으며, fairly unique가 근소한 표차로 2위에 올랐다고 발표했다. At the end of day는 finally라는 한 단어로 요약할 수 있기 때문에 선정되었고, fairly unique는 모순 어법이기 때문에 뽑혔다고 한다. 3위는 동의어의 중복 표현인 I personally가 차지했으며, shouldn’t have라고 써야 할 것을 잘못 쓴 shouldn’t of는 8위에 올랐다. 9위는 24/7이었다. 10위권에는 들지 못했지만, literally와 ironically도 사람들의 신경을 거슬리는 표현들로 선정되었다.
