Please DO NOT buy the BTS meal if you don't stan them

Please DO NOT buy the BTS meal if you don't stan them. You're preventing the actual BTS fans who have waited for months from having the BTS meal experience. Eating the sauces without understanding their significance is literally cultural appropriation and it's not okay

Why not a handful of salt or a spoonful?

Why not a handful of salt or a spoonful, you ask? Well, early texts contain an antidote to poison which says “take with a grain of salt”. The expression remains, but now it’s used to advise someone not to swallow an idea fully. Take it with a grain of salt: consume it but with a healthy dose of scepticism.

Where does the expression "goats" come from?

This expression actually comes from horse-racing where goats are used to have a calming effect on thoroughbred horses. To calm down an easily upset horse, its owner would place a goat in its stall the night before the race.

What are some examples of themes in English idioms?

Some of the most common include animals (a sacred cow and a cold turkey, for example), things you find around the house (a wet blanket, a pot that calls a kettle black), food (a pie in the sky and a holey Swiss cheese), and body parts (neck and neck and the neck of the woods).

Is a cow with a halo on its head sacred?

Were you thinking of a cow with a halo on its head while reading this idiom? No? Oh, I guess it’s just me then. Anyway, you probably know how cows are sacred and venerated in the religion Hindu. Slowly this expression stemmed from that and became what it is today.

Is it fun to learn English idioms?

English idioms can be quite confusing, but they’re fun to learn and also help you sound like a native speaker. In this lesson, we’ll talk about some of the popular English idioms. Some are funny enough to make you chuckle while some are just downright bizarre!

Assent vs. Consent

While both are verbs and both mostly mean to agree, assent implies that the person who agrees is enthusiastic about it. Consent, on the other hand, is more neutral or even negative. Examples:

Breach vs. Breech

Considering I was a breech birth myself (TMI?), I should have known this one, but I never thought about it until I was about to give birth to my own daughter (who, thankfully, was not breech. TMI, again? Sorry.) Breach, as a noun, means a gap or violation such as a breach of contract or a breach in the dam.

Compelled vs. Impelled

The difference between these two is that one is voluntary ( impelled) while the other is not ( compelled) . Consider these two examples:

Infectious vs. Contagious

Just in time for flu season, knowing the difference between these will help you craft a perfect “out sick” message to your manager. As you probably know, something that is contagious is something that spreads by direct or nearly direct contact, and it refers to transmission.

Deserts vs. Deserts vs. Desserts

I am pretty sure I’m not the only person who imagines someone getting a pie in the face when I hear the phrase “he got his just deserts.” In this case, deserts (spoken with the emphasis on the second syllable) is not the plural of desert (spoken with an emphasis on the first syllable.) A desert is that arid landscape where the coyote chases the roadrunner while a desert is something you deserve (for better or for worse).

Disinterested vs. Uninterested

I see these used interchangeably, but they are actually very different. If you are not interested in or bored by something, you are uninterested. Disinterested means you do not have a financial or personal stake in something. Disinterested means “impartial” or “neutral”.

Grisly vs. Grizzly vs. Grizzled

This is another case where these words seem like they would be more closely related. The term grisly means horrific or gruesome as in grisly murder scene. While it seems reasonable that the meanest bear in the woods might be named for the mess he leaves after chowing down on some hiker, grizzly actually means “greyish”.

Who is Ilona from Bored Panda?

When she is not photoshopping or searching for the most interesting photos for stories, she is usually watching good movies and says that The Godfather is the best.

Does a friend of mine speak Korean?

A friend of mine is 100% Korean but is very tall and was educated in America and New Zealand so she has an American accent. Her co-teachers at her school all assumed she couldn’t speak Korean so they would talk s**t about her constantly while she would listen on and feel terrible.
