B. Development WHAT I KNOW?

Ask a member of the family to help you read aloud the conversation below. One of you will be
Doug and the other would be Alan.

Doug and Alan are old friends, but haven't seen much of each other since graduating from
high school
Doug: Alan! It's so good to see you again! How long has it been? Twenty years!
Alan: Long time no see, buddy. I'm so glad I came to the reunion. I had a feeling you would be
here.
Doug: I wouldn't miss it for the world. Wow, you're dressed to kill.
Alan: It's not every day that we have our twentieth reunion.
Doug: You've got a point there. Why don't we have a seat and catch up? I'm sure you've got
plenty of stories.
Alan: I'm sure you do, too. Let's booze it up a little and exchange stories.
Doug: Still drinking, huh?
Alan: What's that's supposed to mean?
Doug: I'm just yanking your chain. Of course, celebrating. I'm sure I'll be three sheets to the
wind by the end of the night.
Alan: That's my buddy. What are you drinking?
Doug: Whisky sour, you?
Alan: I'm just working on a beer.
Doug: So what do you do to bring home the bacon?
Alan: Oh, that's a long story. It's not been so easy, but we're getting by.
Doug: Really? I'm sorry to hear that.
Alan: Yeah, well, I, unfortunately, flunked out of college, so I had to take what I could get.
Doug: I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?
Alan: I just didn't think it was worth the time, so I let my studies slide. Now, I really regret it.
Doug: But you look pretty good! I'm sure you're doing OK.
Alan: Well, I had to find a new goal. I got into sales, and have done quite well.
Doug: I'm glad to hear everything has worked out for the best.
Alan: It hasn't been the best case scenario, but not the worst case scenario either.
Doug: It's funny how things go.
Alan: Yes, sometimes it's best to face the music and make the best of it.
Doug: Yes.
Alan: So, enough about me. What about you? Are you among the movers and shakers?
Doug: Well, I have to admit, I've done well.
Alan: I'm not surprised. You always had a good head for figures. You went into business,
right?
Doug: Yes, it was that obvious, wasn't it?
Alan: You were kind of a nerd.
Doug: Hey, I was not. I was also good in tennis.
Alan: I know. I'm just pushing your buttons. You were always worried about being called a
nerd.
Doug: It's been great seeing you again.
Alan: You, too Doug. I wish you all the best.

WHAT IS IT?

The main difference between Colloquialism and Idiom is that the Colloquialism is a language
that is used in daily life and Idiom is a combination of words that has a figurative meaning.
 Colloquial refers to any language that is non-standard or informal. It is used to refer to informal
and non-standard in general.

An idiom (Latin: idiomī, "special property", from Ancient Greek: ἰδίωμα, translit. idíōma,
"special feature, special phrasing, a peculiarity", f. Ancient Greek: ἴδιος, translit. ídios, "one's
own") is a phrase or an expression that has a figurative, or sometimes literal, meaning.
Categorized as formulaic language, an idiom's figurative meaning is different from the literal
meaning. There are thousands of idioms, occurring frequently in all languages. It is estimated
that there are at least twenty-five thousand idiomatic expressions in the English language.

C. Engagement WHAT’S MORE?

Directions: Read each idiom and determine the meaning. Write the idiom on your
notebook then opposite it write the meaning. Write in a form of an analogy.

would receive a severe punishment, but all he got was a slap on the wrist.

2. We thought that our neighbors, the Jones family, were rich beyond our wildest
dreams, but it turns out that we’re all in the same boat.

3. If Kim thinks that I’m going to let her copy my math homework, she’s barking up
the wrong tree.

4. The Vikings thought that they would easily beat the other team, but when it was

5. I thought Janet would be a good worker, but it turns out that she can’t cut the
mustard.

6. Tom wanted to get down to brass tacks, but the lawyer kept chatting about the

 8. Jane decided that she would go out on a limb and ask Byron to the Spring Fling

WHAT CAN I DO? (ASSESSMENT)

wrong.

either grammatically (as no, it wasn't me) or in having a meaning that
cannot be derived from the conjoined meanings of its elements.
