Do you have pupils? Then this is the episode for you! This week in TaLoT, April and Maddie discuss the origins of some common expressions, like "you're the apple of my eye" and "under the weather," and have a terrific time doing so. Grab yourself a hot cup of Josephus and join us.
Also on the table for discussion: directly translated idioms that don't make much sense to our English-speaking brains. I know what you're thinking, “I only understand the train station.” Same, girl. Same.
Make sure to follow us on Facebook and on Instagram for updates. Plus, tune in next week—new episodes drop every Tuesday!
