In today’s entry I want to share with you a video! My friend Pinuvisual and I performed last week’s idioms in order to show you how these idioms can be used in real life situations.
English speakers use idioms
a lot! Why? Because idioms help to convey a message easily. For example, when
you are having and argument with someone who is a little bit irritated or
annoyed and leaves dramatically, you can use the “Elvis has left the building” idiom
instead of saying: “why are you leaving? Let’s talk and fix this up, don’t be
so stubborn”. Or when you don’t want to speak about a topic that you don’t feel
comfortable with, you may want to use the “Hot potato” idiom instead of saying:
“I’m not feeling in the mood of talking about that right now”. Well, I think
that is enough reading, let the video speak for itself! Hope you enjoy it! (SUSCRIBE)
PS. I used the Vine app to
record this video whit a smartphone. If you liked it, you can check it up and

1. An arm and a leg: very
expensive or costly. A large amount of money.
2. Back to the drawing
board: when an attempt fails and it's time to start all over.
3. Bite off more than you
can chew: to take on a task that is way too big.
4. Cry over spilt milk:
when you complain about a loss from the past.
5. Elvis has left the
building: the show has come to an end. It's all over. Or when a person leaves a
place dramatically
6. Hot potato: speak of an
issue (mostly current) which many people are talking about and which is usually
disputed
