    but first, as always, a warm-up clip from How I Met Your Mother
    00:48
    hold on– “ticket’s on me”
    what does that mean?
    if I say “dinner’s on me” or “tickets are on me,”
    what does that mean?
    01:00
    well on me simply means on top of me
    so something is on me
    01:06
    my hand is on my head
    it’s on me
    01:10
    but “on me” also means that I’m going to pay for it
    so when he says “ticket’s on me”
    he means I’m going to pay for the tickets you don’t have to pay
    01:25
    so repeat after me
    01:27
    “it’s on me”

    now say the tickets are on me
    good
