Have you heard the idiomatic expression, “like a deer in headlights?” To feel like a deer in headlights means to be so frightened or surprised that you can’t think, move, or speak. It’s the perfect idiom to use when you don’t understand someone in English.

Overall, this video explains why BBQ is delicious in terms of Science by Chemical reactions inside the meat during (slow) cooking and makes an advertisement for Aaron Franklin in Texas 😁 I can't tell more detail because I (little) don't understand also and I don't like BBQ or BBQ in my place is not followed the Science 😑
