QUIRKY ENGLISH – HAVING FUN WITH ENGLISH WITHOUT NOTICING YOUR STUDYING

I love idioms, especially

you know those phrases in the English language that

always pop up in our conversations to spice them up.

I like them because they make our conversations more colourful;

There are certainly a whole ton of them, at least 25,000 in the English language alone — and that’s not counting foreign languages

What’s your favourite idiom?

Would you let me know, below, please?

I love Idioms because they sometimes make me laugh, especially when one “gets the wrong end of the stick” with idioms and ends up “up the creek without a paddle”.

For example, those idioms about your critters, i.e. your teeth, e.g.

Idioms are like coded messages, and so, if you don’t know the meaning — and worse — if you take the meaning literal, then you could “get yourself into a sticky mess”.

Just like the subject of my latest book who is a boy called Jack who got his idioms from his mother mixed up. When he heard his mother say, “When you hear the buzzer on the oven alarm go off, drop everything “!

Jack took those words literally and did drop everything — and he dropped his favourite Peter Rabbit China set.

So, knowing your idioms can be important.

I believe this book will make you giggle, or even better, give you a “belly-ache of laughter” not literally, of course, I am speaking as a figure of speech, i.e. idioms.

Have you ever heard an idiom from someone and thought they were speaking literally? Let me know below, please.
