I've told my little brother numerous times to manage his routine effectively, but I think I've just been flogging a dead horse.

I often say "I wanna spend a penny" or "I wanna take a leak" when I feel like going to the toilet or to the loo for a wee, not the other thing. So nice!

I've heard them all except "as keen as mustard". I've also never heard "a tempest in a teacup" in the USA (have lived here for over 40 years). You should have mentioned "don't get your knickers in a twist".

I was in the middle of a cross-examination of a witness and I went on persistently to discredit him and it was going on for 3 hours and the Judge intervened rudely admonishing me, " Ms.Balasingam , you're flogging a dead horse move on!!". This took place in a Spore subordinate court. Thanks for list of charming and classic idioms. Your channel with Sabrah is close to tops!!!!🐌

A little birdie told me that this channel is one of the most quintessential British.....❤❤ Subsequently, when I told this thing to my friends they replied no we have a lot of channels already. The thoughts flashed through my mind that I am flogging the dead horse. Frankly, I'm just bearing the burnt of my actions because I also said these things to my friends at that time they recommended me something... Well, the pot calling the kettle black😲👍 LOADS OF LOVE FROM MY SIDE. I PONDERED THIS IS ENOUGH BECAUSE I DEEPLY ND ACUTELY NEED TO SPEND A PENNY.....🙈

Thank you, you shared us more useful expressions and constantly we will practice it. I was feeling a fish of water when I started learning English, and it was completely miserable. In the exam periods, I was feeling frustrated, but a little birdie told me that you did it. However, later I recognized that it was as keen as mustard to start learning English. Still, I am learning English and I will continue it until I feel more comfortable than now

My grandad had a little birdie that every year in December told him when the Christmas holiday started at school in order to help him to pick up olives.He used to come to me and say "tomorrow you don't have to go to school, a little birdie told me, so you are coming with me to pick olives up". What a fabulous bird.

She pursued him for months not knowing that she was flogging a dead horse. 2. Harry always asks to see a man about to dog whenever his family asks him when he's getting married.

Hi Leila, An interesting lesson about “Classic British Expression, Idioms, and Phrases”. With the help of your lesson, I learned lots of new British expression and their uses. I admire your work. Homework: 1. He keeps trying to get it published but I think he's flogging a dead horse 2. She feels like a fish out of water among celebrities. 3. I like that house. But there's a fly in the ointment: I have to commute so far to work. 4. A little bird told me that it is your job promotion party 5. I think there's some hanky-panky between Mr. Ben and his secretary. 6. Are not you the pot calling the kettle black? You are usually the last person to show up! 7. Anson was forced to eat humble pie and publicly apologise to her. Thank you.

Great British accent ! I live in Austria where the children are taught to pronounce every “a” (or “A”) as “e” (or “E”), for example “en epple” or “e men”. It was really refreshing for me to hear an “a” pronounced as such ! I think this anomaly originates from American English, as the Americans often pronounce an “a” as in “ha-emmer” and not just like “hammer”, however the Austrians and Germans are taught to pronounce it like “e hemmer”. My wife was often laughed at in the UK for example when she talked about a person having “e sore beck”, and a friend of mine quipped “Sore Beck? Is he by any chance related to Jeff Beck..???”. The level of English spoken by Austrian and German people is also considerably lower than that spoken e.g. in the Scandinavian countries or in the Benelux countries, but the local authorities just don’t care, as they are doing nothing to remedy or to improve on the situation..🤦

I love this language history lesson👏 Also "a little birdie told me" is common in Italy, and "pardon my French" as well ☺ A storm in a tea cup = Much ado about nothing? Hanky Panky is an American comedy, isn't it?

In the US, we say “beating a dead horse”, “tempest in a teacup”, “see a man about a horse”.........Never heard “as keen as mustard”, “pennies-pounds”, “spend a penny”, “turn up-books”. Of course, I grew up in the 13 original British colonies and still live in one 👍🏻.

Improving the performace of the schools in board examination is our paramount wish but it is a perennial problem in education system. Govt does not seem to favour the resumption of schools, colleges and universities at a time when covid-19 cases is spiralling. The govt seems to be mindful in its various orders about the pass percentage of the sslc board examination. Teacher's sud come out with stratified approach and work passionately in order to ramped up the capacity of the students. Is these above sentences are correct ma'am ??

If I say Pardon my French to a Person from France, would he/she be offended? If I say pot calling the kettle black to an African American, would he or she get offended? These are sensitive idioms for modern days I think. Your opinion please. Thanks.

Worrying about the potential recession that might follow the pandemic is not less than flogging a dead horse. Instead, we should swear to lookafter pennies, the pounds will lookafter themselves.
