In this All Ears English episode, Lindsay and Michelle explore the phrase "I don't do X" as a way to express personal preferences and build connections in English. They discuss how this construction is more emphatic and casual than simply saying "I don't like X," sharing examples like food preferences (pineapple on pizza, chocolate vs. vanilla ice cream) and activities (picnics, roller coasters). They highlight the importance of using this phrase to show personality and create connection, while also noting the need for caution to avoid sounding rude or overly negative. The hosts also share personal anecdotes and preferences, demonstrating how discussing likes and dislikes can foster relationships.
