In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Aubrey and Lindsay discuss English idioms and phrases related to overstaying one's welcome. They share personal anecdotes, including a story about Lindsay overstaying at a friend's campfire and Aubrey's experience with guests lingering too long at her parties. They introduce three expressions: "guests like fish stink after three days" (or "fish and company"), "don't wear out your welcome," and "company is like snow; the longer it stays, the more it's in the way." The hosts explore the nuances of these phrases, discuss appropriate usage, and touch on cultural differences in hospitality. They also promote the All Ears English community and courses, inviting listeners to share their experiences and cultural perspectives on guest stays via polls and comments. The episode concludes with a role play demonstrating the use of these phrases and a teaser for a follow-up episode on politely addressing overstaying guests.
