Hey guys, today's expression is a train of thought. A train of thought is a series of ideas. You know, when you are talking and you get distracted and forget what you are talking. So you can say, I lost my train of thought
Welcome back to the Vocab Man, I am Daniel and yeah.
The introduction was made by Aliya. Thank you so much Aliya. And Aliyah has an Instagram account which is called literary writing. I will put the link in the show notes. So today's expression is awesome because it is very practical and it is to lose one's train of thought and it happens to the best of us. Right.
So if you are in a discussion or if you are trying to explain something, maybe all of a sudden, you completely lose it. So you don't remember where you were. So it's really a very practical expression.
You could also just say or ask. Where were we or where was I? Just it pays you some time in which you can reflect or rethink what you have been talking about Right So i lost my train of Awesome
And Aliya has written a cool comment in her Instagram account, which I'm gonna read out loud for you. So. I felt a sudden impulse to spill the beans on something with you. My lovely friends. I surely suck at winding scarf around my head. I am not good at it to the core. Anyway, let's talk about today's phrase: at train of thought. Wow. It's an endearing metaphorical expression.
Believe it or not from time to time, I lose my train of thought while having negotiations with someone. Especially when I get carried away along on a tide of enthusiasm and feel like getting a kick out of the ambience. That probably leads me to get into two minds and thoughts. In the middle of nowhere I find myself stuck between a rock and a hard place about talking a step ahead or staying there. Last but absolutely not least, it's clear sailing for many of us to fill our minds to the brim with a train of thought but clinging to them is like a hard nut to crack.
We don't need instant gratification because you sent a quote from Gandhi on your Facebook and you got 60 quotes and you feel good about yourself. That doesn't mean shit
back. Okay. Alright. Alright. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. Completely lost my train of thought.
