For middle and advanced levels

Let’s discuss some idioms that may be interesting.

Until the cows come home- This is an idiom used to indicate ‘for a very long time’.

Eg: You could keep quarreling about it until the cows come home, but you wouldn’t come to an understanding.

This implies that you could be quarreling for a very long time, but you wouldn’t come to an understanding.

‘Knocking the socks off’- This idiom means ‘something very impressive, exciting, stimulating in a positive way’.

For eg: My performance in the stage knocked the socks off and people starting responding to the tunes.

Let’s look at the words such as ‘forever, anymore, underway etc’. Whether these words are to be written as single words are to be split and written as ‘for ever’ , any more, under way’ etc. Well, in the US it’s written together and in UK it’s written separately. Therefore, we may modify our style to suit the requirements of the style of the recipient according to US or British.

The results of the previous jumble game.

PENCE, DUCAT, PUNDIT, UNHOOK.

Solution: “DUCKED” OUT.

Technique: After finding out the actual words, you may see from the cartoon that the word ‘quack’ connects to the sound of a duck. Thus you may take the word ‘ducked’ and the remaining word is ‘out’. Is it not interesting?

BTW, what is a ‘Ducat’?

A ducat is a former European gold coin.

What’s a ‘Pence’?

The plural of penny, the unit of money.
