You want to have fun with idioms? Use a direct translation from another language. For instance, "me calle gordo" (spelling) means you're bugging me. The direct translation is "you're falling me fat." So I say that,in English, to my Spanish-speaking friends!

We had an idiom on our DLR page this morning. It said "button up your lip!" We think that it means "be quiet" and other students used words that weren't as nice as be quiet. But we won't talk about those!!

I was just using idioms with an ESL class this week. We talked about these:
- A person who lives in a glass house should not throw stones
- put your money where your mouth is
- gone to the dogs

Idioms are used by people all of the time. Teachers use them! Parents and grandparents LOVE using them. I can think of several idioms used by my parents all of the time when I was growing up: It's a piece of cake, I am fed up with...., Don't beat around the bush, I just get a kick out of that, etc., etc. Have you every heard any of these? Think of an idiom, or find one on the Idiom site on our class website page, include it in your blog along with your explanation of what that idiom means.
