Learn new expressions

Dear friends,

Let's learn new expressions in English:


When somebody loses a boyfriend or girlfriend, we can tell them that there are lots more possible candidates with an expression about fish:

§ There are plenty more fish in the sea.

§ There are other fish in the sea.

A member of a family or other group who is embarrassing, undesirable or disreputable is called a ‘black sheep’.

§ I was always considered the black sheep of my family because I was a socialist.

§ My uncle went to prison and is considered the black sheep of the family.

If you are very suspicious about something, you ‘smell a rat’.

§ They said they will honor the contract but I smell a rat.

§ He said he was qualified but I smelled a rat, checked up on him and found out that he wasn’t.
