In business English, what does it mean if someone says
Lets get the ball rolling?
It means to begin something.
You might hear this in a meeting, when the chair person wants to begin.
You could also use it it in regards to the start of a project,
"we need to get the ball rolling on the marketing campaign by start of quarter 3"
You can also use it in a general context
"I had to get the ball rolling with organising my sisters birthday party, before it was too late to book anything"
Can you give an example of how it could be used?

'Live rent free'
This is an English slang expression that is often misunderstood.
This expression actually means to be constantly thinking about something, or someone.
For example;
'That song from Tiktok has been living rent free in my head all day'
'My ex boyfriend still lives rent free in my head'
'After seeing that new film, the idea of moving abroad lives rent free in my head'
Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with rent, bills or money!
Can you think of another way to use this expression?
