My Spicy Idioms

In blogging me and my class wanted to spice up our blogs so we're using idioms!

1.  When we write in blogging some people are a penny- wise and a pound foolish                                   

meaning- careful in small matters but careless about important things

2. Sometimes it takes two to tango in blogging.

meaning- two people are required to accomplish this deed

3. Most of the students in blogging leave no stones unturned!

meaning- to put forth all efforts to carry out a task

4. A couple of my friends are quick on the draw when it comes to blogging.

meaning- ready, alert, and quick to respond and react

5. I get shot in the arm when I'm blogging.

meaning- something that lifts your spirit

Hi Victoria,

I think you've really spiced up your writing with these idioms. I really like "leave no stone unturned."

Which is your favorite? Do you think you will use it in your upcoming posts?

Best,
Lani

Dear Lani,
I think that my favorite idiom would have to be the one that says a penny- wise and a pound- foolish! And I’m not sure if I will use the idiom a penny- wise and a pound- foolish in my next post, but I might! Do you like using idioms frequently? Where do you use them at?

I’ll get back to you later,

Victoria

Hi Victoria,

I seem to use some idioms frequently when I want people to get a good picture of what I am saying! I don't use them when I write for my job; hmm, do you think they might be appropriate there to spice up my writing?

Best,
Lani

Lani,
I think it would be a great idea to put idioms into your blogs. If you do that though, you might want to explain what the idiom means after you use it in your post. But other than that I think it would attract many more readers. Can you think of any idioms that you might use on your next post?
Chatch ya later,
Victoria
