In this The English We Speak, we’re looking at the phrase 'fill your boots'. It’s used to tell
someone to make the most of an opportunity and take as much of something as they can.
Neil
Speaking of which, have you seen those cakes at the BBC cafe?
Feifei
Yes, they look amazing. Really colourful with so much cream! Have you tried one?
Neil
Yes, it was amazing. I think it was one of the best things I've eaten in my life!
Feifei
Stop! You're making me hungry! Don't tell me anymore – I think I'll go and fill my boots and
find out for myself.
Neil
Well, I'll just finish some work and then I'll come with you and we can fill our boots together.
Bye for now.
Feifei
Bye.
