NEW IDIOMS

Exercise: Idioms are short phrases that have a very commonly known meaning different from their literal meaning. You can embed idioms in casual, colloquial speech, such as “a dime a dozen” or “beating a dead horse.” Read the obscure or made up idiom and then explain its meaning. Write in a sentence.

Why: Idioms are a primally important part of any language. Humans take the formal content and structure of their native language and create another layer of phrases with colorful meanings to express ideas that may be difficult to adequately communicate with such flair and emotion otherwise. By involving your right brain with deciphering the relationship between idioms and their meaning, you are sharpening your creative focus.

Enhances Creative Focus which includes deep thinking, focus, pattern recognition, and creative problem-solving.

Example:

“Tilting the cat"

Making others uncomfortable, doing something on the brink of causing trouble.
