Key Grammar Structures

• I'M ALL BIKINI PORN

  ➔ Subject + Be Verb + ALL + Noun

  ➔ This uses "all" to intensify the noun that follows, implying a complete embodiment of the concept. It doesn't mean 'everything is bikini porn' but rather, the speaker *is* the essence of 'bikini porn'.

• YOU'RE LOOKING PALE AS FUCK

  ➔ Adjective + AS + [insulting word]

  ➔ This uses "as" for comparison, but the vulgar term emphasizes the extreme level of the adjective. "Pale as fuck" means extremely pale.

• SCARED TO POP IT YOU THINK I'M TROUBLE

  ➔ Adjective + TO + Verb, Subject + Verb + Object

  ➔ "Scared to pop it" is a shortened form meaning "You are scared to pop it." The omission of the subject and verb is common in informal speech. 'You think I'm trouble' follows a basic Subject-Verb-Object structure.

• WHAT WOULD LIFE BE IF I JUST GO WITH HER?

  ➔ Second Conditional (Hypothetical Situations)

  ➔ This sentence is an example of a second conditional. It describes a hypothetical situation and its likely result. The structure is "If + past simple, would + base form of the verb". Here, 'if I just go with her' is the past simple clause and 'what would life be' is the main clause with 'would'.

• ALL I DO IS DRINK CHAMPAGNE ALL DAY

  ➔ "All + Subject + Do + is + Verb (Base Form)"

  ➔ This structure emphasizes that something is the *only* thing that is done. "All I do is drink champagne" means that drinking champagne is the sole activity. The 'to' before the verb is omitted, which is common after 'do'.

• NOW MY BIKINI'S GONE

  ➔ Subject + 's + Adjective

  ➔ This is using the possessive 's but in colloquial usage, it's a shortening of "is". So it means "Now my bikini is gone."

• I DON'T PICK UP WHEN THE PHONE CALLS

  ➔ Verb-preposition combination: 'pick up'. Use of 'when' to indicate time.

  ➔ 'Pick up' is a phrasal verb meaning 'answer the phone'. 'When the phone calls' describes the timing - at the time that the phone is ringing.
