Rude Questions, Germs, and other Vocabulary

This week in class we talked about questions that are considered rude in the U.S.  Like:

How old are you?

How much [money] do you make?

How much do you weigh?

Why aren't you married?

Why don't you have children?

What size are you?

Are you expecting? (pregnant)

If someone asks you questions like that, you can respond with:

   That’s personal.  (polite) 

    I’d rather not say. (polite)

                                               It’s a secret! (polite & funny)

                                               None of your business! (rude)

We also listened to a great song called, "I'll never fall in love again"  (Listen to the song to find out why.) sung by Dionne Warwick.

Here are the lyrics:

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
Don't you know that I'll never fall in love again

Dont' tell me what's it all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get a life of pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
No, no, I'll never fall in love again

I'm out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
Don't you know that I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
