hi girls!!!
Sherryfa
hi there!!

daily visit's time ๐Ÿ˜Š

today, I'll be telling you about honesty and sincerity, there's that idiom that says :

Show your true colors : it means to reveal your true intentions, personality, or behaviors.

Color(s) has numerous meanings. An early use of the word is flag, pennant, or badge. Early warships often carried flags from many nations on board in order to elude or deceive the enemy. The rules of civilized warfare called for all ships to hoist their true national ensigns before firing a shot.

Someone who finally "shows his true colors" is acting like a warship which hails another ship flying one flag, but then hoisted their own when they got in firing range.

P.S. I'm not translating this time for the lesson to be more effective, if any problem with what I post just let me know and I'll explain or translate on the spot.

Cheers dear ladies ๐Ÿ‘‹

Hi girls,

sherry I like so much your last expression ๐Ÿ’–

here is the word of the day:

Charity ๐Ÿ™noun), plural charities.


1-generous actions or donations to aid the poor, ill, or helpless: to devote one's life to charity.

2.something given to a person or persons in need; alms: She asked for work, not charity.

3.a charitable act or work.

4.a charitable fund, foundation, or institution: He left his estate to a charity.

5.benevolent feeling, especially toward those in need or in disfavor: She looked so poor that we fed her out of charity.

Hi!! I have difficulties in speaking english but I'm trying to!
miss

Sherryfa
It seems I'm not the only one deserting the place lately!! where are you girls?

anyway, I think I owe you 5 idioms, here we are then:

1. Chew the fat: To talk about unimportant things e.g. Sit down, have a beer, and let's chew the fat

The Inuit (different from Eskimos) used to chew on pieces of whale blubber almost like chewing gum. The blubber took quite a while to dissolve, so it just sort of helped pass the time while they were doing something else.

Some other cultures may have used bacon fat in a similar way

2. Rule of thumb: A basic rule that is usually but not always correct e.g. As a rule of thumb, plant tomato seeds three inches deep

Based on the use of ones thumb as a rough measurement tool. Generally correct for course measures.

Most old English measures of distance were based on the body measurements of the king โ€” the length of the foot, inch (thumb tip to first knuckle), cubit (elbow-to-fingertip), and yard (nose-to-fingertip)

3. Once in a blue moon: To happen only on rare occasions. e.g. The Post Office regularly fails to deliver checks sent in payment to me, but bills sent to me fail to be delivered only once in a blue moon

Two full moons in the same month are extremely rare, though they do happen. A second full moon has come to be called a blue moon. This is apparently because the Maine Farmers Almanac used to list the date of first moon in red text, and the second moon in blue

4. Kiss of death: Something that is a precursor to failure, that will lead to future failure. e.g. Even a hint by Greenspan that interest rates may rise is like a kiss of death to the stock market.

From the fabled Mafia practice. A kiss from the Don meant curtains (death) for the receiver

5. Sleep tight: Sleep well. e.g. Good night, sleep tight

Before box springs were in use, old bed frames used rope pulled tightly between the frame rails to support a mattress. If the rope became loose, the mattress would sag making for uncomfortable sleeping. Tightening the ropes would help one get a good night sleep.

Good night ladies and SLEEP TIGHT ๐Ÿ˜ด
