English as a Second Language Idioms and Synonyms

Idiom for the Day

……all thumbs...……

Please never give an important task to someone who is all thumbs. Think about it. If you had all thumbs and no fingers, you would have great difficulty doing anything with your hands. People who are all thumbs probably perform badly doing anything that requires manual dexterity.

Synonyms for the Day

Some new synonyms for the day – awkward, clumsy, maladroit

Examples: The awkward carpenter could not close the drawers he had built.
The clumsy consumer dumped all the tomatoes on the floor of the grocery store.
Don’t let that guy inside. He is often maladroit, and he might ruin the new décor.
