appropriate situations!

Objective To teach you some slang words and expressions.

When was the last time you spoke to a police officer? What was it about? What are the good/bad things about the police in your country? What sort of reputation do the police in your country have?

Think about it

Two ex-prisoners, Karl and Logan are in a car when they’re stopped by the police. Listen once and answer these questions: 1. What does the police officer “find” in the car? 2. What information does the police officer want? Then, listen again and try to guess the meaning of the following slang expressions (also marked in bold in the text). Write out a version of them in Standard English:

k: The cops! L: What? k: The fuzz? L: Where? k: Behind us! Step on it! L: i’m going as fast as i can. [a police

car stops in front of them]P: step out of the car with your arms in the

air. [sound of walking towards the car]k: I ain’t done nuffin’! P: Well, look who it is: Karl Bennings,

me old mate. how’s it going? k: You got the wrong guy! P: Well, let’s just have a little look inside

this car, shall we? i won’t say “your car” because i’m sure it’s hot. [he looks in the car] now look what we got here. A nice, big bag of dope. Turned to dealing, have you?

k: This is a stitch up. i don’t do drugs! i’ve gone straight.

P: Oh, really. Then what’s this? A pistol? Unregistered, no doubt. Been doin’ a bit of target practice, have you? Oh, you’re looking at a long stretch here, matey.

k: That ain’t mine and you know it. This is a set-up!

P: [to his police officer buddy]

Cuff ‘em up Jim. [ Jim puts some handcuffs on Karl] [to Karl] Karl Bennings, you’re nicked! “You have the right to remain silent, but anything you do say will be taken down and may be used in evidence against you.”

k: This ain’t fair. i don’t wanna go back inside! P: Well, you know, we could come to

some sort of arrangement. k: What do you mean? P: We know you were involved in that
