English Idioms
What is an Idiom?
Idioms are classified as figurative language, which is the use of words in an unusual or imaginative manner. Figurative language is typically used to express an idea more interestingly.
Example: The comedian died on the stage.
Ø In the literal meaning, the comedian actually died.
Ø In the figurative meaning, the comedian struggled to make the audience laugh.
A day at the office:
As I walked into the office dead on time, one of my colleagues came to me as quick as a flash and said; hands down you are the person I was looking for, I almost jumped out of my skin. He then explained that we have a can of worms to deal with. He heard from the horse’s mouth that our department has to plan the year-end party. Well I said, things are still up in the air and I do not think we should shilly-shally. Let us call for a meeting and have a game plan, I am sure if we think out of the box it will be smooth sailing.
