Question: What type of boys are you into?
Avril Lavigne: Boys with guitars…they’re really fucking hot. I
could never date a preppy guy.
Speaking Style
In conversation, with friends, the type of person you like to date often occurs. Guys and girls often spend hours talking about the type of person they like or don’t like. Today, we will look at how to start talking naturally about dating.
Avril has a young, vibrant style of casual conversation. In this case, she is asked about the type of guys she likes. She gives a good strong answer with her ideal type and what she doesn’t like. In some cultures, we might avoid the part about what we ‘don’t like’ but in English it comes across naturally.
Avril also uses common expressions to make her feelings vibrant or passionate. Speaking with passion makes people want to listen to you. Let’s change the question and answer expressions into direct English with the same meanings.
Question: What type of boys are you 'into'?
= What type of boys do you 'like'? (same meaning)
Avril: Boys with guitars …they’re really 'fucking hot'. I could
never date a 'preppy guy'.
= Avril: Boys with guitars …they’re really, 'really
attractive and sexy'.
I could never date a guy who wears 'neat, classic
clothing with a preparatory school style'.
(same meaning)
Casual Slang Word Summary
1. 'fucking' = very
2. 'hot' = really attractive and sexy
3. 'preppy guy' = a guy who wears young but classic clothing that is neat and well put together. The clothing is usually expensive. This fashion style comes from clothing designed after expensive preparatory school uniforms. Modern preppy fashion can be seen in the clothing line by ‘Tommy Hilfiger’.
Now let’s put these ideas into practice. Below is the main speaking pattern to try out in your next English encounter with a native speaker. Also, don’t forget the slang!
