Meaning of ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES - A Really Short English Lesson with Subtitles

READ ALONG TO PRACTICE YOUR ENGLISH AND TO LEARN THE MEANING OF ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES: So in English when we say something is "rough around the edges" it means that it's not perfect but it's good enough. So let's say that you needed to buy a car, but you couldn't afford to buy a brand new car, but you've found a car that has some rust on it, and the inside of the car isn't perfect, but the car runs well and is completely useable. You could describe that car as being a little bit rough around the edges. You can also describe people that way. People that aren't exactly perfect and they have some unique qualities. In fact you could say that I'm a little bit rough around the edges. I'm not perfect, I don't claim to be perfect, but I still have a lot of good qualities so Bob the Canadian is a little rough around the edges.

Yesterday, I suffered the most terrible storm for this winter up to now in PEI. But I still think that this winter is rough around the edges. Anyway, we have a perfect Bob here with us.

My house is a little bit rough around the edges because it was built a long time ago .Some of the windows were peeling off of paint, some of the floor tiles, the faucet in the toilet were broken ... but I still like it because it was attached to me.

I was sure that I had left a comment on this lesson last Saturday.
Anyway, my English is rough around the edges, it's not that good but it works.
