“Beats Me”

It’s kind of a slang phrase that I don’t really hear anymore. “It beats

me” is usually a response to a question when you don’t have the

answer. Like, “how did that candy bar I was saving suddenly

disappear?”. “Beats Me”. For actors, this is not a great response

when working on a script or audition. There is an expectation that you

have the answer and not a “beats me” statement. Truth is, I’ not sure

what the literal translation really means. For actors, there is another

way to understand beats me. Rather than being beat, using a beat

can be quite useful…
