Magoosh Comics: Fun With Idioms, Part 1
BY DAVID RECINE ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 IN MAGOOSH COMICS
In my last post on this subject, I introduced you to the idea of idioms—words and phrases that are informal, and have a very different meaning than the one you’d normally find in a dictionary. I showed you certain idioms such as “raining cats and dogs,” which means “raining hard,” and “hot potato,” which means a subject or idea that makes people upset.
As I mentioned before, idioms are a lot of fun to learn and use. And while you won’t normally find idioms in a dictionary, Dennis Oliver has made a really wonderful dictionary of idioms over at ESLcafe.
In this post and my next few idiom-related posts, we’re going to have some fun with idioms. I’m going to show you some idioms, some idiom-related comic strips, and then have you do idiom activities. In each activity, you’ll try to guess the meaning of each underlined idiom in the comic strip, based on the context. Then you’ll check your guesses by looking up the idioms. All idioms can be looked up in Dennis Oliver’s dictionary, unless otherwise noted.
