  • Welcome to the English we speak.

  • I'm Beth.

  • We have an expression that describes repetitive actions that are predictable and tiresome.

  • The phrase is rinse, repeat.

  • Rinse, repeat.

  • Beth, can you give us some context?

  • Well, to be honest, I'm feeling a bit down at the moment.

  • I come to work, go home, sleep, rinse, repeat.

  • It's like that for me, too.

  • It's the same events every day.

  • It's so predictable and boring.

  • Exactly.

  • Rinse, repeat.

  • Did you know, fei fei, that this expression comes from the back of shampoo bottles?

  • They often say, wash, rinse, repeat, meaning wash your hair, rinse the shampoo out, and wash your hair again.

  • Well, washing your hair isn't exactly fun.

  • Mine takes ages to style.

  • And then in two days time, I have to do it all over again.

  • It's true.
