Everyday Idioms 🇬🇧 Here's a portion of idioms that everyone should know - you can use them in everyday life ✨ ▫️Under the weather [To feel ill] In England they love to talk about the weather, but don’t be fooled by this common phrase. If someone says they’re feeling under the weather, your response should be ‘I hope you feel better!’, not ‘Would you like to borrow my umbrella?’ ▫️The ball is in your court [It’s up to you] It’s your move now, but this idiom refers to life rather than a sport. If you’ve got the ‘ball,’ the decision is yours and someone is waiting for your decision. ▫️Spill the beans [To give away a secret] If you told someone about their own surprise party, you’d have ‘spilled the beans’ or even ‘let the cat out of the bag’. The secret is out. ▫️Pull someone’s leg [To play a practical joke] This is the perfect phrase to learn if you’re a fan of practical jokes. ‘Pull their leg’ is similar to ‘wind someone up’. Use it in context: ‘Relax, I’m just pulling your leg!’ or ‘Wait, are you pulling my leg?’. ▫️Sat on the fence [To be undecided] If you’re sat on the fence, you’ve not decided which side of an argument you agree with. ‘I’m on the fence about hot yoga classes,’ translates as ‘I’m not sure whether I enjoy yoga in a sauna yet.’ ▫️Take it with a pinch of salt [Don’t take it too seriously] ‘I heard that elephants can fly now, but Sam often makes up stories so I take everything he says with a pinch of salt.’ Try to make up your own examples with these idioms in the comments to remember them better 💫
