Welcome to English in a Minute!
To “live it up” means to have a very good and exciting time. But the phrase to “never live something down” has a very different meaning. Let’s listen:
D: Anna, did you try the cake I made for George’s birthday?
A: A bite. One bite. Dan, it was kind of the talk of the party.
D: Oh no. It was that bad? Oh, I may have forgotten to add sugar.
A: That’s bad, Dan. That’s bad.
D: Ugh! I’m never going to live this down!
To “never live something down” means that people will not forget that you made a big mistake or did something embarrassing. People just don’t forget others’ mistakes that easily.
And that’s English in a Minute.
