Idiom for the Day
A note: There are thousands of idioms. Understanding and using idioms is the last step to becoming as fluent as a native speaker for most students. People could spend years in an English speaking country and never hear all of the idioms that I have presented so far. The very best way to learn idioms is through practical experience – reading English language books and speaking with people in English. Try to read as many books in English as possible and listen to the free flow of the language whenever possible.
.....…pull one’s leg……
If someone is pulling your leg, they are cheating or tricking you. Usually if someone is pulling your leg, they don’t mean to hurt you. It is in fun or as a joke.
Example: I didn’t realize he was pulling my leg, when he asked for a charitable donation. He was collecting for himself.
