@ killed it : 끝내줬어, 어떤 일을 기가 막히게 잘하다

 

Hey, so you had an audition yesterday for a play, right?

> I did.

And? How did it go?

> I killed it!

Congrats. That's awesome. So you got a part?

> Well I don't know if I got a part yet, but I feel like it went really well.

> I practiced a lot and then, when I went in, the lines just flowed from my mouth, and I really felt connected to the character.

That's awesome. I'm so happy for you.

> Yeah. I'll hear next week, but I'm pretty sure you'll be seeing me on stage in summer.

 

@ nailed it : 정말 잘해 냈어!, 완벽하게 잘 해내다

 

Hey. What'd you get up to last night?

> Actually, I ended up teaching my son how to play chess.

Chess? I love that game. How did he do? Did he pick it up?

> Yeah. Actually, he totally nailed it. I was really surprised. He caught on really fast.

Really? That's great. And who won?

> He did.

He beat you on his very first game?

> Well, you know, I was going easy on him because I thought it was his first game, but then he ended up winning after all.

Wow. That's great. I'd love to try and play him sometime. Maybe he's a chess prodigy in the making.

> Maybe. I'll keep you posted.

OK.
