Great example of how not knowing the language is no bar to being an English teacher. Presumably this clip is a wind-up. The last two consonants of corps are silent. It is cognate with corpse but homophonic with core. It's a pun, which is why the Beatles chose the name. Sounds like APPLE CORE. Geddit? What he's saying is a synonym for a stiff. Probably an important distinction to make with business English students. Still, er, nice pictures.

great example on ESL/EFL teaching. Relevant subject... however, sound too low.
