Learn english with john cena: VOCABULARY TO FOLLOW THE VIDEO
To waddle means to walk from one side to another, much like a crab would do. In this video, one of the comedians of Saturday Night Live comes in dressed up (déguisé) as Santa Claus (père noël) but can't help showing off his wrestling character "the Waddler" (a synonym for someone who walks like a crab). He tries to impress John Cena and to get him to fight. But John cena is not in for it (n'est pas interessé) and congratulates the comedian for coming up with the idea of a crab-walking wrestling character. Contrary to French "la comédie", Comedy in English means fun acting. A comedian is an actor that does stand up and makes people laugh (rire). Famous French comedians are Kev Adams, Gad Elmaleh. Famous US comedians are Jerry Seinfeild, Kate Mckinnon and Chris Rock. Check out our post on US Comedy shows to learn more about US late night show and comedians. A turf is a territory. When someone says they'll defend their turf, they probably mean they will fight to protect what they've conquered. In this Saturday Night Live episode, one of the cast members, Leslie Jones tells Cena he shouldn't be on her territory. John Cena then asks for the name of her wrestling character. She proudly (fièrement) answers she doesn't need any, thereby implying that the mere fact of (le seul fait de) being Leslie Jones stands for itself (se suffit à lui-même). |
