Incomplete Idioms

Are you someone who loves slipping idioms into everyday conversation? If so, you’re in good company—just like Roxanne, who always has a idiom in her repertoire. In todays episode Roxanne shares with us something you might not know: many of the idioms we use today are actually evolved versions of much older sayings. Over time, they’ve been shortened, stretched, and reshaped into the expressions we recognize now—sometimes losing or gaining a bit of their original meaning along the way. So join us as we put on our linguistic hats and explore the world of idioms—because curiosity may have killed the cat, but knowledge brought it back!
