Presenter: Conversation 1
A: I'm going to buy something to eat from the restaurant downstairs. Would you like anything
B: Oh yes, please. Could you order me some dim sum
A: Some what
B: Dim sum.
A: What kind of food is that
B: It's a kind of traditional Chinese food from South China, including dumplings, spring rolls, meatballs and so on.
A: Oh, I see. So “dim sum” comes from Chinese

Presenter: Conversation 2
A: How was the movie
B: It was great, but some one in front of me was talking so loudly on her phone.
A: How cellfish! B: Yes, I agree. Very selfish.
A: Ah, do you know what I mean by “cellfish”
B: Of course! When you say “selfish”, you mean only caring about yourself and not about other people, right
A: That's what “selfish” with an “s” means, but I'm talking about “cellfish” starting with the letter “c”.
B: I haven't heard that word before. What does it mean
A: It means using a cellphone in a way that shows you don't care about the other people around you.
B: That's interesting. How do you spell it
A: C-E-L-L-F-I-S-H. It's the words “cellphone” and “selfish” put together.
B: Oh, I see...

B: Oh, LOL! It's a shorter way of saying “laugh out loud”.
A: I've never seen or heard that before. Where does it come from
B: It was first used on the Internet. You use it to show you think something is very funny.
