    47 right. Never heard of “go pear shaped” and I also thought “sail close to the wind” meant play it safe. I totally disagree that “see stars” means exhausted. It means to be dazed (confused).

      Wow, 47 out of 50 is impressive! Well done!
      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the idioms. “Go pear-shaped” is a British idiom that means something has gone wrong or not as planned-it's a bit less common outside the UK. As for “sail close to the wind,” it actually means to take risks, especially when it comes to bending rules or ethics. It's interesting how idioms can vary in interpretation!
      You're right that “seeing stars” can also mean to be dazed or confused, especially after a blow to the head. I see how that could be interpreted as dazed rather than exhausted, though sometimes the feeling of exhaustion can lead to a similar sensation. Language is fascinating in how it's open to interpretation!

      Great score! You're right 'Seeing stars' can indeed mean experiencing pain or dizziness, often after a bump on the head. Idioms can sometimes have multiple meanings depending on the context, which makes them so interesting. Thanks for participating and sharing your thoughts!

    Overall this was very interesting. As a native English speaker I only really new about 30 of these for sure. I had a fairly good idea of and/or was able to deduce many others. I confused "Pig headed" with "Big headed"! I cannot give an honest score because I looked some of them up before seeing the answers. There were about 8 I had either never heard of or simply did not know. The sailing one was the most bizarre. I learnt a lot. Thanks for uploading.

It's always fascinating how idioms can sometimes surprise us or blend together like "pig-headed" and "big-headed." The sailing idiom is indeed one of the more unique ones! It's great to hear that you were able to deduce many of the others and that you found it valuable to look up some along the way-after all, it's all about expanding our knowledge. I appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoy future quizzes too!

    Header answer: Third wheel = unwanted. I would actually describe it as an extra person as in "two is a couple and three is a crowd."

    • @thelighthouse13
      @thelighthouse13  Před 29 dny +1

      @LaFloridaHemingway
      Great point! You're absolutely right-being a 'third wheel' is often about being the extra person in a situation where two people are already paired off, like in the 'three's a crowd' scenario. The feeling of being 'unwanted' can come with that extra-person dynamic, but it's definitely more about not fitting in or being the odd one out. Thanks for the thoughtful comment!

    One more - seeing stars means confused, as in there are so many of them, you don't know which one to focus on. Like in cartoons when a character gets clobbered, you see a ring of stars circling their head beause they've been "knocked for a loop."

    • @thelighthouse13
      @thelighthouse13  Před 23 dny +2

      That’s a great observation! Seeing stars in cartoons often symbolizes disorientation or being knocked out of sorts. However, in idiomatic English, “seeing stars” usually refers to the sensation of dizziness or lightheadedness, often after a physical impact or sudden shock. It’s a bit different from being confused by too many options, but your interpretation is a creative take on the idea! Thanks for sharing your insight!

      @thelighthouse13  Před 9 dny +2

      Thank you so much for watching the video and for scoring 50/50-impressive!
      Regarding your feedback:
      You’re absolutely right! Typically, the phrase “fifth wheel” is used to describe something unnecessary or unwanted, whereas “third wheel” often refers to someone who feels awkward or out of place in a situation (like being the extra person in a couple’s outing). Great catch!
      “When it rains, it pours” is indeed the more common phrasing, meaning that once something starts happening, a lot more of it tends to follow. Thanks for pointing that out too!

      It's interesting how different people interpret the same saying in different ways.
      I (for example) have always thought that the difference between ''third wheel'' and ''fifth wheel'' is ..
      A ''third wheel'' refers to something that is unwanted ( it's in the way and you don't need it) whereas a ''fifth wheel'' is something that is in the way now, but you accept it just in case you need it later (like the spare wheel in the boot of your car)

      Thank you for your comment and for participating in the challenge! The phrase "brush up on" can indeed mean to quickly review or make a quick study of something. While "revise" is often used in British English to mean reviewing or studying something again, I appreciate your point that "brush up on" typically implies a quick or light review. It's great to see such engagement and attention to detail. Keep up the good work, and I hope you continue to enjoy and learn from the content on my channel!

    born and bred is like the thoroughbred born to race bred to race. to me that meant raised well blood lines. not your answer.

    • @thelighthouse13
      @thelighthouse13  Před měsícem

      @karenharris3183
      Thank you for sharing your perspective! 'Born and bred' often emphasizes that someone has spent their whole life in a particular place, absorbing its culture and values. The phrase 'bred' in this context refers to being raised or brought up, which might explain the connection to the concept of thoroughbreds you mentioned. However, the idiom isn't necessarily about bloodlines or being 'raised well' in a literal sense-it's more about the environment and upbringing. But I appreciate your input, and it's always interesting to see how different people interpret idioms!

    No 5 should be fifth wheel. Whoever made this quiz up doesn't speak colloquial English They are probably confusing it with three is a crowd.

    • @thelighthouse13
      @thelighthouse13  Před měsícem +3

      @user-wh3pr3zv1k
      Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your input. The term "third wheel" is indeed a common colloquial expression, and while "fifth wheel" is also used, it typically refers to something redundant or unnecessary in a group of four. "Third wheel" more accurately captures the feeling of being an awkward addition to a pair, which is why it was used in this context. Both terms have their place in colloquial English, but "third wheel" is more commonly associated with social situations involving couples. Thanks again for engaging with the quiz!
