kip & knackered

Hello. In this lesson, we are going to explore two British words you wouldn't necessarily learn in an English lesson, because they are quite informal. However, British native speakers use these words on a daily basis. The first one is 'kip'. If you have a kip, you go to sleep or have a nap. The second word is 'knackered'. If you are knackered, you are very, very tired, so you can be knackered after work or a workout.
