Greeting, folks!
It's been a long time, not posting any posts.-:)

I'd like to start with and their usages.
I'm gonna give you a dialogue spoken between two people: Amber and Jaime
Here come!

Amber: He was in the casino and started to make a bundle.
Jaime: I bet he thought he had it made.
Amber: Then he started losing his shirt.
Jaime: With his temper, he probably hit the ceiling.
Amber: Sure. The casino took him to the cleaners.
Jaime: Was he a good sport?
Amber: Oh no! He was a sore loser.

This is the end of the conversation.
We now have 8 idioms in total.








You might be familiar with some words.
To the rest, try to have a wild guess.
I'll be giving you the answers by tomorrow.

With LOVE,
