✍🏾Meaning: "code" said to alert someone that their zipper, or fly, is open
❕For example:
🔺"Hey, Bob. XYZ, dude."
🔺I noticed that Tony had forgotten to do up his fly, so I said "XYZ, Tony" and winked as I looked down at his fly. Tony looked a bit confused, and then said he wasn't gay. Apparently he didn't know what "XYZ" means.

✍🏾Meaning: If someone tells you a secret and you keep it under your hat, you don't tell anyone.
❕For example:
🔺I'll only tell you if you promise to keep it under your hat.
🔺Aunt Biddy said she couldn't possibly tell me the family secrets because she'd pledged on her mother's grave to keep them under her hat.
🗣Origin: There are at least two theories about this idiom's origin. One says it's related to the fact that archers in medieval Europe used to keep spare strings for their bows under their hats, with the implication being that other things could also be kept under one's hat without anyone knowing about it. The other says it's related to the fact that one's head is under one's hat, and that to keep something under one's hat simply means to keep it in one's head, as opposed to spreading it around by telling everyone. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Idiom_of_the_Day 🌀@Englishoftheday
✍🏾Meaning: If something is par for the course, it's what you'd expect it to be.
❕For example:
🔺Bill hasn't paid his rent on time, but that's par for the course. He's always late.
🔺I had an appointment to see my doctor at three but I had to wait an hour. I know waiting is par for the course when it comes to doctors, but it still annoys me.
〽️Note: This idiom is most commonly used in reference to something that is typically not very good, rather than something that is typically good. For example, it's more common to say that coming late is par for the course for someone than to say coming on time is par for the course for someone.
