Homework: find and write down 5 idioms or slang expressions that we have not discussed in class
---
With your partner, write a conversation that uses at least 5 of the idioms you have together, and at least two from each person. (You can use more than that if you want.)
Then perform the conversation for the rest of the class.
Listen to the other conversations. Can you identify which expressions are idioms?
- on fleek
- catch you later
- cost an arm and a leg
- a sweet movie
- yolo
- over the moon
- look like a million dollars
- pulling my leg
- bucks
- give (someone) a ring
- raining cats and dogs
- the ball is in your court
- once in a blue moon
- bae
- drives me up the wall
- Speak of the devil.

There are many expressions and sayings where we only say half of it:
Speak of the devil (and he doth appear).
A bird in the hand (is worth two in the bush).
When in Rome (do as the Romans).
As happy as a clam (at high tide).
