One more #FigureofSpeech in #Spanish: "Carrying the wedding dress inside the handbag". Used more in olden times, it meant a woman who was desperate to get married soon to anyone she dated.

Spanish: "Llevar el vestido de novia dentro de la cartera".

Another excellent #FigureofSpeech: "Driving with the porcelain wheel". Used mostly by party-going people in Chile, it means that you drank too much and must throw up in the toilet, grabbing on to it with all your might.

Spanish: "Manejar con el volante de loza".

What's your favorite figure of speech? Mine is a Chilean-Spanish one: "Come knocking on the door with your feet". Used between close friends or relatives, it means that if you come visit you should bring something for the hosts, hence you won't be able to knock with your hands.

Obviously not the intended use of the word ‘we’😂. As if I literally mean I’m part of a group of people to decide. #figureofspeech

2. Simile:
- Example: "As fast as a cheetah."
- A simile compares one thing to another using "like" or "as", here emphasizing speed by comparing something or someone's speed to that of a cheetah.

Wanna know something embarrassing, at first when I heard people say “clappin’ cheeks” I pictured like when someone gently pats your face and says you’re so cute. That’s not really what it means though. #autistic #Audhd #figureofspeech #urbandictionaryftw

Hendiatris is when three words are used to express one idea. Hook, line and sinker.
Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.
Game, set and match.
Understood, clear, capisce?

I am coining the next exasperated astonished exclamation: "By Lando's Cape!" I will use it in a sentence. It's fun. "By Lando's Cape that key lime pie is delicious!" #ByLandosCape #StuffJournalistsLike #grammar #English #phrase #FigureOfSpeech

Comme dirait notre "flyée" traductrice au bureau : "C'est une température et un automne à se crisser en feu".
