Demolition prank call

My friend sent me this very funny audio of an 8 year old girl calling a demolition company to demolish her school. The accents are from southern Ireland, so it might be a bit difficult to understand. Listen carefully and try to hear this vocabulary.


Vocabulary:

  • prank call = a phone call which is really a joke
  • demolition expert = someone who destroys old buildings
  • bear with me = please wait a moment
  • a wrecking ball = a huge iron ball hanging from a crane, used to demolish buildings
  • wee = very small (irish and Scottish slang)
  • blow s/th up = use explosive to demolish something
  • knock s/th down/knock s/th to the ground = demolish something
  • a ball park figure = a very general figure
  • a wallop = a big crashing sound
  • fill yer (your) boots = help yourself to good things, be lucky
