Hello dear all, long time no updates, sorry I'm a bit lazy recently;;P
Okay, for today, we are going to learn "<em>stick out like a sore thumb</em>".
"stick out like a sore thumb" is "out of place", means something or somebody is not fitting well.
e.g: I got stuck out like a sore thumb when I moved to New York this summer, there is quite an affluent area.
''handful' can mean someone is behaving in a way that is wild and hard to handle and that he is keeping you very busy.
My niece is quite a handful in grocery stores.
'bread' is slang for money.
I am short on bread.
I need to find more opportunities to make more bread.
'nest egg' refers to money put away in reserve for future use, maybe to buy a house or to get married or something.
I need to build a nest egg to pay for my health insurance.
Hello , nice to see you again. Have you learned former 3 lessons? Hopefully you've absorbed them already:) And oh, please make some sentences with the idoms in each lesson ,as thus, we could insert them in our mind deeper.
Ok, idioms for today are: "blah" & "bounce back"
"blah" is a word that describes how you feel when you have a cold or are sick - Blah is the feeling you have when you are really tired and have no energy.
e.g.: I certainly wish I didn't feel so blah. I haven't been able to sleep very well with this runny nose and cough...
When referring to a thing, blah means something that isn't very good or interesting.
The dish she cooked was so blah , I really had no apptite for that.
"bounce back" means to recover from something.
I am looking forward to bouncing back from this cold.
<em>yummy & yucky
"The almond cookies look especially yummy."
"yummy" here denotes delicious, tasty, something is very nice to eat.
"yucky" actually is quite the opposite than yummy, that is to say , something is disgusting, you have no desire to eat .
"I feel eggplant is pretty yucky, I'd never have a thing for it. "</em>
