Terrible English Idioms!

Come learn with us! Come learn with us, students! forever! and ever and ever! Hello, today we’re going to do five terrifying idioms the first terrifying idiom is to have goosebumps or something gives you goosebumps Geese are cute. I thought this was supposed to be a terrifying Halloween lesson When you get goosebumps, it’s the same feeling as when you get cold your little hairs stand on end.

But it’s not because you’re cold it’s because you feel fear or if you hear a nice song - You know what gives me goosebumps? - What? Haunted houses, hearing noises in the dark being alone in the cemetery what gives you goosebumps? Enya. her voice is heavenly Our second terrifying idiom is to have butterflies in your tummy / stomach Butterflies aren’t scary either when you have that nervous feeling in your tummy like little scary butterflies are flying inside you, you have butterflies.

For example: I saw a pretty girl, I love her when she talks to me I get butterflies! This is a Halloween lesson, please try and be more dark and sinister What gives you butterflies? Nothing. I’m dead inside I have no emotions Our third awful idiom is - To be in high spirits! - Oh my god, that means you’re happy!

Yes. Terribly happy! we usually say this when you’re in a visibly good mood or perhaps you have more energy than usual This isn’t scary For example: “His motivational speeches put everyone in high spirits” what puts you in high spirits? death The next idiom is to get the heebie-jeebies / the willies or something creeps me out That’s a bit better When you feel uncomfortable, or when your skin goes “Urrrgh!” you can say it gives me the willies or the heebie-jeebies or this creeps me out This is better I like this one I often get the heebie-jeebies when I walk alone in the dark You’re never alone I’m always watching you That’s creepy Our final idiom is to have a stab at something okay good, finally. When you attempt something that you’ve never tried before you have a stab at it! All right calm down Would you like to have a stab at giving us an example?
