ESL Podcast 527 – Describing Men’s Bodies

Justin: What are you ogling1 at? Katrina: I’m watching those guys working across the street. Justin: Those construction workers? Katrina: Yeah, those prime examples of manhood. There’s not a flabby gut2 in the bunch. Justin: I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t appreciate you watching them as though they were pieces of meat. Hasn’t anyone ever told you not to objectify the opposite sex? Katrina: What? I’m not objectifying anybody. I’m just admiring their six-packs and guns. Look at those long, lean bodies. Justin: Stop it! It’s demeaning, and on behalf of all men out there, I’m really offended. It’s disgusting. Katrina: Is it disgusting to have a picture of Megan Fox on the wall in your office? Justin: That’s different! Katrina: How? Justin: It’s her personality I admire. Katrina: You could’ve fooled me. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
