Welcome to the English we Speak with.
Me, Neil and me, Fei Fei.
We're explaining the phrase fill your boots.
It means take advantage of a situation or to get as much of something as possible.
Fill your boots.
It sounds like you're telling someone to load their boots with as much as they possibly can.
That's a very good way of looking at it, but it's not literal.
So, for example, when a supermarket has a big sale, you might want to fill your boots with all the deals.
Yes, you'll buy as much as you can.
Or Neil, you have an amazing library.
Can I read some of your books?
Fill your boots.
Read as many as you want.
Let's have some examples.
I love my local restaurant.
It has an all you can eat buffet.
You can fill your boots.
Have you watched any of our videos?
Feel your boots and learn as much as you can.
