Ghost – (curiosity killed the cat) April 14, 2021
“Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back” many people don’t actually know the second half of the idiom. It’s used to give a warning or tell someone not to be curious however when adding the rest of the idiom it shows that being curious is not always a bad thing sometimes you need to see things for yourself. Don’t blindly trust someone of something.
Paul Hoffman – (cut the cord) April 13, 2021
I see this often now as it relates to cable TV and watching video entertainment online. There is likely to be a new generation that only views it as getting rid of cable TV. The following generation won’t understand that any more than they’d understand “don’t touch that dial.”
Paul Morris – (use your loaf) April 12, 2021
It comes from Cockney rhyming slang, no two ways about it. My father was born on the Mile End Road and he used it all the time and confirmed its rhyming slang origin.
Sheila Yalias – (black sheep) April 12, 2021
This is a load if false information as I was called a black sheep at the age of 18 months. It’s so so cruel and if you would like my story I am well and truly so keen to put it all in order.
I have suffered thus title when family members gave done far far worse.
I was a quiet shy girl and had no understanding if anything at 18 months.
I peed the bed and that was the first mention of black sheep. An innocent child now labelled by abusive parents who would today be jailed for what they did. But it was easier to cover their tracks by attacking me a scared child and labelling me a Blacksheep.

I like this especially where it is very clear about possessive pronouns. Mostly, people get confused on how to differentiate between possessive pronouns and adjectives. A big thanks.
Anonymous – (grass is always greener on the other side) April 9, 2021
The grass is NEVER greener on the other side ’cause everyone is suffering inside. You can look me in the eye and say that you are fine, but I know you are lying. Life isn’t fair. Everyone has a rough life. No one has it easy.
Princess – (crush) April 9, 2021
Having crush on someone is the most sweetest feeling in the word but the difficult part is having him close to you without knowing the right word to use. Most especially seeing him on a daily basis.
Georgia – (worm in the apple) April 8, 2021
Anything negative in relation to an apple goes back to religion when Eve and Adam tasted the forbidden fruit.

Very interesting. By the way, a nickelodeon (lower case) was an early type of indoor theater; Nickelodeon is a TV network created in 1977.
Maryna – (topsy-turvy) April 7, 2021
During city festivals in Ukraine and some other countries everything looks topsy-turvy for a while.
