Expressions to Give You a 'Second Bite of the Apple'
Omschrijving
There are many expressions about apples. You might have heard that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," or if you care about someone a lot, you might call them "the apple of my eye." Here are a few more apple expressions!
If you're surprised that something has happened, or have just beaten someone at something and want to gloat, you can say, "How do you like them apples?" This expression, which uses incorrect grammar, was made popular by the 1997 film Good Will Hunting, but it's been used for over 100 years.
So if the best tennis player in your school has been laughing at your tennis skills, but you beat them in a match, you might say, "How do you like them apples?"
If you want a second chance at something, you could ask for a "second bite of the apple," or a "second bite of the cherry."
So if the top tennis player wants another chance to beat you, you can say, "Okay, I'll give you a second bite of the apple. Let's play again tomorrow."
When someone or something destroys a plan, or makes something difficult, you can say they have "upset the apple cart." This expression has been around since the 18th century, and probably comes from an older Roman expression, "upset the cart," which had the same meaning.
So if it rains the next day, you might say, "Oh no! We were going to play tennis today, but this rain has upset the apple cart!"
