AEE - This Episode Is Textbook All Ears English

In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Michelle and Lindsay discuss the slang usage of the word "textbook." They explain that it's used to describe people's behavior or how something is done when it is exactly as expected or imagined, providing examples such as "textbook teenager" or a doctor diagnosing "textbook shingles." They also explore alternative ways to express the same idea, such as "standard," "typical," "quintessential," and "classic." The hosts share personal examples of what "textbook Lindsay" or "textbook Michelle" would be like and act out a role-play to demonstrate the usage of the word in a natural conversation. They encourage listeners to try using the term but advise caution when applying it to people trying to change their behavior. The hosts also promote their app, which offers vocabulary recap role plays and other learning resources.
