Episode notes

Let me cut right to the chase. This episode is going to be a deep dive into the origin of some common idioms. I don’t want to dance around the subject or have to walk on eggshells, so I’m using this introduction to break the ice.

Whether you’re feeling under the weather or ready to burn the midnight oil with us, you’re in for a treat.

I will spill the beans on their meanings and origins and explain how to use them, even if you only do so once in a blue moon.

Learn more about the origins and meaning of common idioms so you don’t bark up the wrong tree on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
