Hello Citrus ESL 100 Class!

Great job on completing the first blog posts! Here's your second blog assignment!

I'm sure you have all heard some interesting idioms/expressions in English. Idioms and expressions are used as marketing schemes or in everyday conversations.

For your next post, I want you to choose two idioms that you find interesting and write about them! Tell me what they mean, where you heard them, and why they're interesting to you. You can even posts pictures to help illustrate the idiom.

Here's an example:

You Rock! You Rule!
I've always wondered about the expression "you rock" and "you rule". Why do we use rock and rule to illustrate that someone is doing good? Are rocks and rules a good thing?

This expression interests me because people would always use it when I was growing up. Whenever I did a good job at something my teacher would say, "You rock!"

A rock is a hard round object, so how is being a rock or "rocking" a good thing? Very strange!
