“Under the radar” refers to a property of radar that makes ground based radar unable to sense very low flying objects due to what is called ground clutter. So a plane that doesn’t wish to be seen by radar flys very close to the ground almost hitting tree tops and the radar won’t show the plane on its screen.

"The old college try" and "take a chill pill" used to be more commonly used decades ago. Those particular phrases are not in use much anymore, but they are valid idioms in American English.

Good work Kayla

[@srinip]

Love the video, and most of the expressions. I say most, because some of them do change with time, especially in America where the language morphs faster than in most countries. I often date myself when I use certain expressions (I'm pushing 70 here), so I have to be cognizant of who I'm talking to! In addition, you have idioms that go with certain professional territories, for example, "let's take it offline", or "let me circle back". I'm sure people can think of many more. Anyway, great video!

[@mariaalshiakh8407]

Thnx very helpful. My fav idioms: Don't spit into the wind & Preaching to the choir.

I have practiced to shadow your saying and repeat your saying. Native speaker’s pronunciation is very valuable to me, nonnative. Thanks a lot, miss. See you later.

Hi Kayla, before watching this video, I would go to a local pharmacy to get a chill pill literally if someone had told me "take a chill pill". Good lesson! Please keep up the good work!! I have seen the light

Thanks + Gracias x One Million

Thank you for uploading useful idioms. I'm studying English watching your videos everyday. Even though my lisening level is low at the moment, I believe that if I keep doing , it will getting better. (Jacob LEE from Korea)
