This episode introduces you to 5 more hopefully amusing idioms. What is Cockney rhyming slang? How does a flirting zombie sound? Why don’t people normally eat butterflies?

Episode 40 - Funny Idioms (part 1) 21.06.2014 42:45 ↓

In the main part I focus on 4 (out of planned 9) idiomatic expressions, explain what they mean,...

This is the last concluding episode of the trilogy about funny idioms (40-42). I have never worked more on a single episode than this one. It is up to you my listeners to decide if my effort was worth it. The episode 42 has two parts. In part No.1 I go through funny idioms that the facebook group members sent me as their favourites. The second part is dedicated to an autobiographical story which I...
