What Are Idioms?
Idioms are groups of words with a figurative meaning that is different from the literal interpretation of the individual words. They spice up conversations, making them more vivid and expressive. Understanding idioms is essential for native-like fluency and comprehension.
The Origins of "Until The Cows Come Home"
One of the idioms we will explore in-depth is "until the cows come home." This phrase is commonly used to indicate an extended or indefinite period of time. But have you ever wondered about its origins?
The expression dates back to a time when farming was prevalent. Cows would typically return home in the evenings. Due to the slow movement of cows and their tendency to graze along the way, it would take a significant amount of time for them to come back home. Hence, waiting "until the cows come home" became synonymous with waiting for a very long time.
