Learn English as a Second Language with a Keen Mind

Idiom for the Day……tongue in cheek...……
People who make a comment tongue in cheek are not serious about what they are saying. They might be saying this to inject humor or to chide a friend. People might say something with tongue in cheek for many reasons, but they are never serious about what they are saying if it is tongue in cheek.
Example: The students were all ears as the teacher reviewed for the important test.
