zapper & zonk out

  • Intro

    Hiya! Would you like to sound more British? In this lesson, I'm going to teach you two words starting with the letter 'z'. The first one is 'zapper'. 'Zapper' is an informal word for a remote control. So if you want to change a TV channel, you need a zapper. The second word, which is actually a phrasal verb, is 'to zonk out'. If you zonk out, you need a break, you need to go to sleep because you are very, very tired. You can zonk out in front of a TV.
