You’re like a dictionary…
…you fill my life with meaning.
Ha, what a corker. That has to be my favourite TEFL-related chat-up line! As my students did their FCE exams last weekend, we wound down a bit this week and did more fun stuff, after nine months of exam preparation! I think chat-up lines are similar to jokes in that the humour is not always easily understood, but a couple of the following amused my students. Can you pair up the lines?
| Are you a parking ticket? | you fill my life with meaning. |
| Do you have a plaster? | When you fell from Heaven. |
| If I said you had the perfect body, | or is it just you? |
| If I could rearrange the letters of the alphabet… | Because I cut my knee when I fell for you just now. |
| Did it hurt? (What?) | I believe you’ve been looking for me. |
| Do you believe in love at first sight… | Because you’ve got FINE written all over you! |
| You’re like a dictionary… | I keep getting lost in your eyes. |
| I’m Mr. Right… | would you hold it against me? |
| Do you have a map? | I’d put U and I together. |
| Is it hot in here… | or should I walk past again? |
Following the matching activity we chatted about whether people still use chat-up lines, where and when people flirt and for homework they did a reading activity about Speed Dating.

Hi Celia,
I watched the video – it’s great! It’s always interesting to find out where words come from. Thanks for sharing 🙂
