the best

7:37

movie ever

7:38

i am blown away at how stupid you are

7:41

but usually it means you're very

7:44

surprised in a good way

7:47

your boss is so happy

7:49

wow you nailed it to nail something it

7:52

means you did something that was very

7:55

difficult but you did it successfully

7:58

we also use it in things like this when

8:01

someone does a skateboard trick

8:05

wow he nailed it

8:07

and actually this is more casual than

8:10

formal it's not rude

8:12

but

8:13

your boss might say this

8:15

if the situation is that you did

8:18

something difficult

8:19

in a very successful way

8:22

then it works

8:23

in fact you're so good that i'm blown

8:26

away that was so good you're getting a

8:28

raise

8:29

well done

8:30

you're getting a raise now there's a lot

8:33

of confusion about the two verbs raise

8:36

and rise

8:38

first this is a regular verb raise

8:42

raised raised and it's transitive which

8:46

means it needs an object

8:48

for example if i raise the dead i make

8:51

zombies

8:53

look how cute
