What does 'milk it' mean? - YouTube

Feifei: Hello, this The English We Speak.

I'm Feifei...

Rob: ...and don't you know who I am?!

I am Rob.

Feifei: Yes, we all know that, Rob.

Rob: But I am THE Rob - Rob of

The English We Speak.

There is nobody else like me.

Feifei: Yeah, yeah, yeah - don't milk it!

Rob: Eh? Come on, show me

some respect. Ouch, I seem to have

pulled a muscle - ooo, that hurts.

Feifei: Come on, Rob. You hardly moved.

Rob: Ouch, it's in my lower back. It's so

painful, I don't know if I can carry on.

Feifei: You are milking it again!

Rob: Feifei - what am I 'milking' exactly?

Feifei: Everything! 'To milk it' means to

take full advantage of a situation usually

to gain sympathy, respect or kindness.

Sometimes, like Rob, you fake something

to get attention

- that's when we say 'You're milking it'.

Rob: Are you talking about me?

Feifei: Of course I am, Rob. Let's hear

some examples of

other people 'milking it'...

OK, don't milk it, Sam! You've told me

a hundred times you've got tickets

for the World Cup final.

Tom's had a week off work with a cold -

I think he's milking it now.

Since her promotion, Freya keeps

bossing us around and telling us

to call her 'Miss Brown'

- she's really milking it!

Feifei: You're listening to The English

We Speak from BBC Learning English,

and we're talking about the phrase

'to milk it'. This means to take

full advantage of a situation

usually to gain sympathy, respect

or kindness. So Rob, have you got

what 'milking it' means?

Rob: I do, and I seemed to have recovered

from pulled muscle but I've become so...

thirsty, I was wondering...

Feifei: ...if I could get you a drink of milk?

Rob: No, Feifei. I was thinking of

a cup of coffee. You are so very kind

and generous.

Feifei: You are milking it again, Rob.

Actually, I've got just the thing for you.

Hold on...

Meet Daisy!

Daisy: Moo... moo...

Rob: A cow!!! How do I milk that?

Feifei: I'd start down there somewhere.

Good luck.

Rob: Bye.

Daisy: Moo... moo...
